THE HOUSEMAID

“Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own…

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.

"The Housemaid is Watchind" by Freida McFadden

is a gripping psychological thriller filled with twists and dark secrets.

The story follows Millie, a young woman down on her luck, who gets hired as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Winchester family. Millie is relieved to have found a job, despite the strict rules and odd behavior of her new employers, especially the glamorous but unpredictable Nina Winchester.
At first, the job seems like a fresh start for Millie, but things quickly take a sinister turn. The Winchesters' mansion feels eerie, and strange things begin happening — unsettling noises, locked rooms, and Nina's increasingly erratic behavior. As Millie tries to navigate the tense dynamics within the household, she begins to uncover disturbing secrets about the family. She realizes that she might be in grave danger and that not everything is as it seems.
With mounting tension, Freida McFadden expertly crafts a chilling atmosphere, where Millie is forced to question who she can trust. The suspense builds as dark secrets about the house and the family come to light, leading to shocking twists that keep the reader guessing until the very end.
"The Housemaid" is a fast-paced, heart-pounding thriller that explores themes of deception, manipulation, and survival. It’s perfect for readers who love psychological suspense and unexpected revelations.
