The Housemaid

De: Freida McFadden

Narrado por: Lauryn Allman

“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....

Creepy

This book was creeping me out. I found myself very jumpy but didn’t want to put it down. I loved the twists and turns of the story. I hated Milly’s accent … it was too much for me to love her character the way I wanted. Great story and worth the read!!!

little slow at the start but so good at the end

I mostly kept listening because I knew a twist was gonna happen. like the cover said it was and the other reviews allude to. but it was a little slow burn. once it gets to the second part all that changed though. super good. I will say that the story isn't bad at the start just predictable.

Excellent!

This was a great book. Narration is fantastic. The story has a lot of unpredictable dark twists right down to the end.

Great book!

In the beginning I hated a main character. Towards the end I started to see what possibly happened in the past. As the story went on I found that aspects of what I thought were true and others terribly wrong. Great psychological thriller!

A little far-fetched

You do have to believe a few unlikely details to get to the end of this… but it’s still a really good listen.

Such a great read!!!

Never saw this coming!!! One of my new favorite books!! Just when I thought I had it figured out, there was a new twist!!

Such a fun listen!

This was exactly the distraction I needed while trying to juggle my kids this summer. It was twisty, addictive, and just plain fun!

This book!!

This was my first McFadden book and let me tell you, it will not be my last. This was the best psychological thriller I’ve ever listened to. Filled with twists and turns, you truly never know what’s going to happen next. Each new chapter will have you questioning every character’s mindsets, motives, and moves. Whether you choose to listen to or read this book, you will not be disappointed.

Loved this!

When I wasn’t listening to this I was always thinking about their predicament and wondering how they were going to get out of it. I absolutely loved this and highly recommend it!

Great read

Dark and twisty does indeed describe this book. Not surprised by the twist, yet intrigued.
