The Housemaid's Secret (The Housemaid #2) by Freida McFadden

 


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Sinister Suspense" Stars


Twisted Mystery!

A small taste of what lies within:

Millie is back in this second installment as a housemaid except this time she has been hired to more or less be a cleaning lady - she does the laundry, cleans the house and even cooks for her new employers who are Douglas and Wendy Garrick.  The only odd thing about her job is that Douglas Garrick tells her to leave his wife, Wendy alone in the upstairs room as she is not feeling well and wants her privacy. Millie is not allowed to interact with her at all and if Millie needs anything she is to contact Douglas.

Things are not all what they seem and when things go into the weird zone then Millie becomes the focus when something happens with the Garricks and it will be all she can do to not only save her skin but to figure out what she needs to do to get out of the mess that has enfolded her into the twisted mystery of the Garricks lives!

That is about all I can give on a small taste so if you want to know more then go read this book and series!

Thoughts:

This story starts out a slow suspense build up as the author just draws you into the storyline gradually. The pace picks up though right after the 30% mark and as the mystery deepens of what is going on with Millie and her new employers it was all I could do of trying not to go to sleep as I wanted to keep reading the book! 

After the 40% mark the suspense is so thick that my insomnia went into full throttle as I could barely put the book down and wanted to almost read all night long! There were a few insomnia nights with this book as I just could not lay the book down!

The main character, Millie along with all the other characters in the book are just so believable that I can actually see the situation Millie finds herself in happening in real life. The author makes the characters so real and believable that you become attached to them along with the situations they find themselves in. I love the writing style of this author as she literally pulls the readers into her world and keeps them there for the duration of the book! There is a third book coming out in this series but it will be a long while before it gets here so in the meantime I am going to track down the other books that this author has written and see what else she has out there.
