The Housemaid

Product Information

He makes her repeat the exercise after she falls short by a minute the first time; when he opens the door, however, Millie pepper-sprays him with a bottle Nina left for her in the room, steals Andrew’s phone, and turns the tables on him, locking him in and torturing him similarly.

How can Millie describe her new, tiny attic room in the Winchester house as an "inhuman place, like a torture chamber", when she's been living in the back of her car right before moving to said attic room, and has spent 10 years in jail right before that?

It’s a very addictive read that is so hard to put down, you’ll more than likely find yourself reading deep into the night because it’s a genuine page-turner. Even the most telegraphed plot twists somehow catch her by surprise, despite all the warning signs and the not-so-cryptic warnings she receives from other characters. Andrew pacifies Nina and, once she leaves, offers Millie the tickets; she has no one to go with, so Andrew accompanies her.

After all the buzzing hype surrounding this book that never seems to diminish, I finally decided it was time to dive in and award myself some entertaining popcorn reading. She’s given a tiny room in the attic that only locks from the outside and has a window that doesn’t open. They have a great time and drink too much at dinner afterward, so they stay at a hotel in the city overnight.The few issues I had in the first 30% which kept my rating from being higher was that I felt the author was trying too hard to tell me how to feel as the hints and 'thriller elements' weren't subtle.

Don’t worry, I will not go into any specifics or spoil anything for you but I’d consider this a must-read novel. If this is the part of the job where i find out cecelia has actually been dead for ten years and is a ghost, i’m quitting. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this novel for an honest review. I won’t spoil it but to say the actions of the police, Enzo, Millie and Nina were ridiculous is such an understatement of how bad this book came to a close I can’t describe it. Overall, I'm giving this highly earned five stars and diving into the next novel of Millie the Maid as fast as possible! I knew right from the beginning that I would enjoy this heart-throbbing, jaw-dropping, unputdownable, twisty psychological thriller, but I didn't expect to love it even more and immediately decided to jump into the next book of the series, despite some reviews emphasizing that it might not be as good as the first one. Millie realizes that the woman is being abused by her husband and assures her that she can help her.
