“Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own…Every day I clean the Winchesters’ beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out… and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am.They don’t know what I’m capable of…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 won’t be able to put this down!

Der Anfang ist ziemlich zäh, unglaublicher Plottwist

Crazy twisting and by that surprisingly entertaining - thanks for the delight. Also not to heavy, still possible to fall asleep in the end ☺️

Monique MRezension von Monique M

Loved it and would definitely recommend it. While I didn’t find it quite as fast-paced as "Dear Debbie", largely because the story took a little longer to build momentum, it was still an engaging and entertaining thriller that kept me invested throughout. Having now read two thrillers by Frieda McFadden, I’m beginning to notice a recurring theme in her work: female revenge, often directed at men who abuse positions of power or trust. In the context of ongoing conversations about patriarchy and the #MeToo movement, I found this aspect particularly engaging. While the stories are clearly fictional and often exaggerated for dramatic effect, there is something compelling about watching women reclaim agency and challenge unequal power dynamics. Overall, The Housemaid was a thoroughly enjoyable read and has reinforced my growing appreciation for McFadden’s style of psychological thriller. I’m looking forward to reading more of her work.
