About this item

“Don’t go in the guest bedroom.” A shadow falls on Douglas Garrick’s face as he touches the door with his fingertips. “My wife...she’s very ill.” As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can’t risk losing this job—not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe....

It’s hard to find an employer who doesn’t ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want.

It’s almost perfect. But I still haven’t met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I’m sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I’m doing laundry. And one day I can’t help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything....

That’s when I make a promise. After all, I’ve done this before. I can protect Mrs. Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe.

Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay. It’s simply a question of how far I’m willing to go....

Anyone who loves The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose, The Woman in the Window, and Gone Girl will be totally hooked! This book can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

5 superior stars!!

This is the 2nd book in the “Housemaid” series and I believe you can read as a stand alone. But I think you should read book one, definitely worth the read.

Holy crap! This author is incredible and now three books in I believe all the hype. I kept thinking now way someone has that many good books. Ok I was sooo wrong.

This books refers a little to book one but really is a whole different book. I am so happy she wrote it exactly the way she did. In fact, the minute I pick this book up LAST night I wasn’t able to put it back down. Read in one sitting with not one break. It was mind bending, so freaking good.

If you loved Millie in the first book you are gonna love her even more here. I seemed to relate to her more with this book and want to be her friend. I won’t ruin the story but I feel like this book was Millie’s way of finding her own way. And then we get some Enzo in here too and I loved him in book one so that was exciting. We were introduced to Brock and to be honest I liked him until I didn’t. That’s all you need to know.

This book shows there are some really twisted people in the world but don’t worry karma is a witch. This is a definite MUST read. This is non-stop goodness.

2nd in series good read

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024

I really enjoyed the story and finding out more about Millie and Enzo. The development of these characters and this story was good. I got caught up in Millie being the best person to help those in domestic abuse situations but this story took a turn and then a huge twist which was unexpected. It made it a quick read because what the heck is happening next. I would recommend this series.

One of my new favorite books. A fast paced thrilled that is both easy to follow but has unexpected plot twists. I love the writing style and build up. Highly recommend to people wanting to get into reading or for people who are avid readers.

It was really good. The horrible character made it pretty interesting. I knew Millie was innocent, ???? no I didn’t ????

OK, I am not a drug addict but "The Housemaid's " two books that I have read are what I imagine crack cocaine to be, addictive but FUN. The stories grab you pretty quickly, keep you turning the page and ignoring the time. Then you find yourself engrossed and instead of wasting time wondering what direction the story will take, you keep on reading until THE TWIST. Both books have a TWIST. Capitalized because only a much more experienced reader of this genre than me could even come close to predicting it. Both books are FUN, fast paced, and definitely worth the small amount time it takes to read them. And now I am forced to patiently wait until the third book comes out this spring to see what Millie does next...

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2024

This was a pretty good sequel to the 1st book. I really enjoyed seeing Millie again and seeing how she’s been doing since being with the Winchesters a couple years back. It’s was fun reading all the twists and turns Freida puts in her stories so I’ll definitely be back the read the next book!
