The Housemaid

What a read! I couldn’t put it down. It took me 5 days to complete this book, probably could have read it in a day if I didn’t have things like work or kids. I’m new to Ms. McFaddens books and I have to say I love how she writes. Keeps me engaged. I have read the other two books and they’re just as good. The first one is the best in my opinion. I am now exploring her other books. This author is really great at twist endings!

Nina Winchester’s elegant home hides dangerous secrets, and when a young woman takes a job as the housemaid, she discovers just how twisted the family truly is. Every day brings small deceptions, subtle power plays, and the constant question: who’s really in control? This book had been sitting on my TBR for far too long, but with the movie out, I finally picked it up and I wasn’t disappointed. As expected from Freida McFadden, it’s full of suspense, tension, and twists that keep you turning pages. I guessed the big twist, but the journey to get there was gripping and thoroughly enjoyable. A must-read for fans of domestic suspense and psychological thrillers.

It's not the most elegant writing, but it's the plot twists that kept me guessing until the end, and for which I give five stars. I also wanted to read it because I wanted to keep myself under control until the movie streams and keep myself from spending $20 for a movie. This book was $10 and now I'll just patiently wait until whenever it's close to being free to see the movie. Curiosity has been satiated. I just can't spend that much money for one movie rental, when I already have a streaming bill.

This was the first brook I’ve read since middle school. And I’m now 24. This was SUCH a good read. With a crazy twist. I just finished book B and ordered the last two (one being a short book 84 pages) highly recommend. It’ll keep you interested!

I have not seen the movie, or the trailer. I prefer to read a book before doing so, and because of that, I won’t have a comparison. This is a must read! Such a well written story, and a plot and ending that I truly didn’t see coming!

A very good read with a surprise ending. Don't drop it before you get to the second section. The novel is composed of three sections. The first section is a bit slow as the character and situation of one of the characters is developed. The second section does the same for other characters but is shorter as well as more exciting reading. The third section is short, scary, and very exciting. All in all, a very good read.

For many years, I read nothing but non-fiction. I wanted to learn something. Something that I could apply to my life, that would improve it, make it better. Knowledge that would transform my personality. Transform me into a happier person. I wasn't interested in just more distraction. Lately, though, I've opened my mind to venture into works of fiction. In my search to find the right book, I noticed that this author had many six-digit, positive reviews. This one, The Housemaid, had the highest review count. I purchased the paperback copy. I know that this may seem strange to some, but there is just this sense of satisfaction when you see a book on your shelves, that you began and finished. I really enjoyed this story. It seemed plausible. Something that could really happen. I loved that in the beginning; I fell under the impression that a certain character was the flawed one, the dysfunctional one, the one who was bat crazy. She made me angry, because in real life, there are certainly people like that. Then, as the story progressed, I realized that this person, whom I thought was loco, was really highly intelligent. She had masterminded the entire tangle. There is a little bit of romance, also, that had me rooting for the two people who were attracted to each other. I truly enjoyed the twists and turns, and being surprised when things turned out to be the opposite of what I was led to believe. The ending was satisfying, and I enjoyed the book so much that I immediately ordered another from this author. I also enjoyed that one so much that I finished it in three sitting. Two with The Housemaid. I highly recommend any book that this author has written. She certainly rekindled my love of reading!

Im giving this one 4.5 stars but rounding down. I absolutely love Freida books and this one was no different. She always keeps me on my toes and thinking that everyone is a suspect. I really liked seeing things from both Nina and Millies POV. It was very well written and flowed really nicely. A lot of thriller books dont give the “twist” until toward the end but I was hooked the whole time and liked how some things were revealed about halfway through. Definitely a good read and we also went and saw the movie which I think was done so well! The casting was great and it kept a lot of the important aspects in there as well. Will definitely be reading the other books in the series!

Bought as a present for a family member. Love's it

Dotarły szybko i w świetnym stanie, polecam!

Perfectly delivered! - paperback cover For me, it’s a solid 4.5 stars! I loved the ease of reading, particularly how Freida skips lengthy descriptions and dives straight into the story, maintaining a constant sense of suspense. Each page kept me eager for more, helped by the short, concise chapters. However, I couldn’t give it a full 5 stars because, while the ending was satisfying and the plot overall was quite unexpected, there were a few moments where I could predict what was coming. These subtle instances left me feeling a bit unsurprised, which I find disappointing in thrillers. Despite this, it was an engaging and enjoyable read!

English is a second language for me.However, once you start, you can't stop flipping pages. I was so engrossed on my commuter train I missed my station more than several times.Can't help wishing Millie just a peaceful quiet life.
