The Housemaid by Freida McFaddenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the first book that I've read by Freida McFadden, and her books were recommended to me by a friend. I have to say that I'm HOOKED! What a chilling, unsettling page-turner. I finished it in less than three days. I read late into the night last night and finally put it down. But I shouldn't have because my heart was pounding for the next two hours! I couldn't get to sleep -- I should have just stayed up WAY too late and finished it last night! Needless to say, I picked it up first thing this morning and read it until the wonderful end. I needed to find out what happened to all the characters!
The plot is about Millie, a young girl who is trying to find a job after being in prison for ten years since she was 17. She ends up working for Nina, a rich wife on Long Island with an extremely handsome husband and a 9-year-old daughter. The story is told from two different points of view, and there are red herrings and plot twists galore along the way. Just when you think you know what's happening and what will happen next, there's a pivot and the reader is surprised! None of the characters are exactly who the reader things they are; the author keeps us guessing all the way through.
I am definitely planning on reading more by Freida McFadden in the very near future. Absolutely love her writing and story lines!
