Synopsis :
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…
This is what I say :
The Housemaid was introduced to me while waiting for a flight recently as I needed something to read during flight. I accepted the introduction in good faith and needless to say, am super glad I did as I thoroughly enjoyed ready The Housemaid.
I said I wanted read a thriller and The Housemaid certainly checked that box. It was written in both the perspective of Millie (the housemaid) and Nina (her boss).
All I can say is that things are not what it seems and people are not who you think they are. There's so many plot twist and it's been a while since I read something that can surprised me and The Housemaid certainly did just that.
I enjoyed it so much that I am now into other titles by this author. Let's see how her other titles fare against this one.
