I am so pleasantly surprised! I have read a couple of Freida McFadden books and I didn't really enjoy them. I knew there was massive hype surrounding The Housemaid so I'd try for third time lucky. I am so glad I did!

There were a few minor things I didn't like. A little bit of obvious foreshadowing at the beginning which felt as subtle as a brick and a few unbelievable moments throughout but all in all, I was very entertained.

Millie Calloway has recently been released from prison following her ten year sentence. After losing her waitress job and then her home due to lack of employment, she is now living in her car and needs a new job before her parole officer finds out. Enter Nina Winchester.

Nina interviews Millie for the role of her housekeeper and light nanny duties for her nine-year-old daughter. Millie is shocked to receive a job offer with her criminal background.

Soon she discovers that the Winchester home and Nina are not quite what they seem.

This is such a fun thriller. I thought I knew where it was going a few times but the twists kept coming and I ended up devouring this in a day. I can't wait to read The Housemaid's Secret now!
