A gripping psychological thriller with dark domestic suspense, The Housemaid by Freida McFadden is a fast-paced, addictive read.
Millie is desperate for a job, and when Nina Winchester offers her a live-in housemaid position in her beautiful home, she can’t believe her luck. Having spent weeks living out of her car, she jumps at the chance, even if the attic room she’s given feels eerily small and locked from the outside.
But things quickly spiral into a nightmare. Nina’s behavior is erratic, her demands unreasonable, and her gaslighting tactics relentless. Meanwhile, Nina’s handsome husband, Andrew, appears sympathetic, offering Millie a reassuring presence in the chaos. But Millie has secrets of her own—and as tensions rise, it becomes clear that no one in the Winchester household is as they seem.
This book is packed with twists, making it impossible to put down. While some moments feel over-the-top, it delivers the kind of suspense that keeps you hooked until the last page. If you love domestic thrillers like The Wife Between Us, this one is a must-read!
