THE HOUSEMAID
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. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon 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: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am.
They don’t know what I’m capable of…
An unbelievably twisty read that will have you glued to the pages late into the night. Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train won’t be able to put this down!
THE HOUSEMAID'S SECRET
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....
An unbelievably twisty read that will have you glued to the pages late into the night. Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train will be completely hooked!
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Wow, it has been such an incredible journey since the original Housemaid was published in April 2022. I can hardly believe that my little book made it onto the New York Times bestseller list and that millions of people have now read it. After that amazing response, it was only natural that I would want to continue Millie’s story in The Housemaid’s Secret, and now once again in The Housemaid Is Watching.
I want to thank Bookouture for being the ones to bring the Housemaid series to life, and especially Ellen Gleeson for her incredible amazing insights into both my writing and Millie as a character. A big thank you to my literary agent, Christina Hogrebe, as well as the entire team at Jane Rotrosen Agency, who always believed in me and supported me. Thank you to the team at Sourcebooks for your tireless work in getting The Housemaid Is Watching into the “wild” and into the hands of more readers. It is much appreciated!
And thank you to all the people who laid eyes on the manuscript while in the editing process: my mother, Pam, Kate, and Val. I’m sure it gets tiresome for me to keep handing you a manuscript and saying, “Sorry, this probably needs work,” so I just want you to know how grateful I am.
And finally, thank you a million times to my incredibly supportive readers! This is all because of you! You asked for a third Housemaid book? Well, here it is!
We – both author and publisher – hope you enjoyed this book. We believe that you can become a reader at any time in your life, but we’d love your help to give the next generation a head start.
Did you know that 9% of children don’t have a book of their own in their home, rising to 13% in disadvantaged families*? We’d like to try to change that by asking you to consider the role you could play in helping to build readers of the future.
We’d love you to get involved by sharing, borrowing, reading, buying or talking about a book with a child in your life and spreading the love of reading. We want to make sure the next generation continues to have access to books, wherever they come from.
