In The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, we meet Millie, who is just out of prison, struggling to find a job. In fact, she is living in her car, doing her best trying to find someone who will hire a girl with a past.
When she meets Nina Winchester, who offers her a live-in position, she can’t believe her luck. She cooks, cleans, and helps with their daughter. Who would let someone with her past live in their home and take care of their child?
Maybe someone who has their own secrets. Nina has spent time in a mental institution after her marriage. She has also let herself go, losing weight and not caring about her appearance as much as she used to.
Millie just sees the perfect life that Nina has. She doesn’t have to worry about money, without working. She doesn’t even have to cook or clean! She even has Millie help with her daughter. Who knows what she does all day?
She even sees a wonderful husband, who seems to be more broken every day. She could never imagine treating him like Nina does. She starts to wonder about their marriage, and what keeps the two of them together.
When she realizes that her bedroom only locks from the outside, it is too late. She may be in more danger than she could imagine.
I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series!
