The Housemaid's Secret

The film is out there, but I won't be going to the cinema. This book, written by a brain surgeon, is terrific. So twisty and clever. I actually felt for the protagonists and the author made me hear their voices. This is good writing. It is the first of trilogy and the best of the three.

Another fast paced and addictive read from McFadden! This book takes place several years after The Housemaid so you can actually read this one without reading the first (although I highly recommend you read that one too because it was amazing!) We still follow the same FMC, Millie, who is an excellent character! She is likeable and relatable and the poor lass seems to have the worst luck. All she wants is a peaceful life, but somehow she keeps getting employed by psychopaths! The storyline was really easy to follow. There were lots of twists and turns. Some that I guessed and some that I didn't, but plenty enough to keep you on your toes. As a psychology (geek) student, I love that McFadden includes case studies and psychological theories into her novels. In this book she introduces the bystander effect, which is a really fascinating theory (definitely worth looking up if you have the time!) This was brought into the storyline to help us understand Millie's thought process and helps us really engage with her character and her actions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall, an enjoyable and entertaining thriller that I couldn't (and didn't!) put down. 4 stars instead of 5, just because I didn't love it as much as The Housemaid. Highly recommend!

Another thriller of Freida McFaddens Housemaid series that had me at the edge of my seat. The twists are very entertaining and keep u guessing till the the last chapter!!!!

Couldn't put it down, captivating, plots & twists, fantastic read,

I found it all a bit too slick and both the plot and characters lightweight and disappointing. A lazy extension of one decent book (although that was pretty predictable in parts too) into a weak follow up. The last few chapters in particular seemed rushed, as if the author just couldn't be bothered.I

Good storytelling with interesting character’s & unpredictable endings

Great book. An easy read as text is not too small. Good quality

Fantastic read. Highly recommend this book and The Housemaid.

VERY GOOD BOOK, the whole series is AMAZING. Arrived in PERFECT conditions

Absolutely love this series of Freida. Worth reading, definitely a page turner.

Very interesting book, perfect for the beach!

Ich liebe dieses Buch! Es war von der ersten Seite an total spannend (besser als das Erste) und ich konnte es kaum aus der Hand legen. Absolut fesselnd, perfekt für alle, die Nervenkitzel und überraschende Wendungen lieben.

Wonderful
