The Housemaid's Secret

As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can't risk losing this job - not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe . . .

It's hard to find an employer who doesn't ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want. It's almost perfect. But I still haven't met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I'm sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I'm doing laundry. And one day I can't help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything....

That's when I make a promise. After all, I've done this before. I can protect Mrs. Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe. Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay. It's simply a question of how far I'm willing to go....

An unbelievably twisty read that will have you glued to the pages late into the night. Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train will be completely hooked!

So, I enjoyed the housemaid (book1) but this one felt more like a filler? or like a book setting up the setting for the next book. I enjoyed the romance though. The plot was interesting indeed

I enjoyed the first one so much more. With this one, I didn't feel as though I knew the family that Millie worked for as well as I did in the first book, so I didn't care what happened to them. I also felt some of the reasoning behind the plot was not enough. I wanted more of a reason as to why some of the things happened. I did enjoy learning more about Millie and her life and relationships and has a good follow-up from the first one.

After the plot of the first book being so surprising and unexpected, it would be hard to reproduce that same feeling on the next books. That being said, still a great book and with a good plot.
