The Housemaid's Secret by Freida McFadden- psychological thriller
Millie has a record so has to find work as she can as any background checks would reveal her past. She is working on being a social care worker along with any cleaning jobs she can get. Her last role ended when the little girl she looked after called her Mama rather than the mother due to the time she spent with her. She is now working as a cleaner/housekeeper for Mr Garrick whose wife is supposedly ill. All Millie sees of her are her eyes through a door which if she says anything gets firmly and quickly closed. What is the secret behind Mrs Wendy Garrick and why is there blood on her clothes? When Millie peeks inside something inside of her is called to action. What is going on and can Millie save not only herself but Wendy as well?
This is the second in the Housemaid series but stands alone , I hadn’t read the first. It's a book I raced through and thoroughly enjoyed. One where real life got in the way as I just wanted to keep reading as there’s a great tension and a series of unexpected twists and turns. My first read from this author and one I would happily read in the future. A cleverly thought out plot and good characters, I liked Millie but did wonder if she had her own agenda, something to read and find out. A book that didn't disappoint, just kept me awake to finish it! A great psychological thriller to keep the reader engrossed.

The Housemaid's Secret: A totally gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist
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…
This absolutely explosive and shockingly twisty sequel to international bestseller The Housemaid will keep you racing through the pages late into the night. Anyone who loves The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose, The Woman in the Window and Gone Girl will be totally hooked! This book can also be enjoyed as a standalone.
