It was a fast easy read, I loved the depth of the characters, the several shocks throughout the book, the twists and turns and I absolutely love how it ended! If you are a fan of thrillers that shock you and strong female characters, you will love this book. From behind closed doors, she sees everything….. Millie has a secret. Well, not much of a secret, since it comes up if you run a background check or do a Google search: she's spent the last ten years in prison. She really needs a job, but who's going to hire an ex-con? When she gets the job offer from Nina Winchester, it seems like a dream come true: she'll be a live-in housekeeper doing cleaning, some light cooking, and occasional babysitting. However, as it turns out, the Winchesters have some secrets of their own, and Millie could be in serious danger... This is a gripping, fast-paced read, good for fans of women-centered thrillers. I found the writing to be unsubtle, and some of the details to be more than a little farfetched. However, I read the whole thing in just over a day, so it does its main job. Popcorn. The Housemaid is one of the best thrillers I've ever read (listened to). Millie is an ex-con, living in her car, looking for work. With her criminal record, she is extremely surprised to be hired as a live-in housekeeper by Nina, who is married to the extremely rich, handsome and powerful Andrew Winchester. Nina is kind, generous, and warm, and welcomes Millie to the household in such a way that Millie begins to think that her problems are over. She is so very wrong. Nina is not sane and treats Millie horribly, Nina's young daughter treats Millie terribly, and only Andrew, the dashing husband, gives her any backing at all. Millie doesn't quit. She needs this job. This is a dark tale, one which really shook me. There is rampant domestic violence, which triggered some of my own memories, and I would guess that victims of domestic crimes might want to give this book a miss. The final twist at the end of the book made me feel like I had been punched in the stomach. I congratulate Ms. McFadden on her ability to shock. Lots of well-developed characters and an unusual story line made this book a winner for me. I've already downloaded another of Ms. McFadden's novels onto my e-reader. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But soon she finds out - and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late. But I reassure myself that the Winchesters don't know who I really am. And they don't know what I'm capable of. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
