Publisher's summary

“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.

Love the twists Freida McFadden comes up with. I’ve been hooked since the first book of hers I read. Housemaid’s Secret did not disappoint. It leaves me wanting more. It cannot end there!

Does not disappoint

Such a good book and I loved that it played off of her last handmaid book. I loved the twist did not see the end coming.

Wonderful

As usual, McFadden doesn't disappoint. Her plot twists and turns are exceptional, I mean way beyond the norm. I signed up for this book before it was released to be sure I rec'd on the first day because I just couldn't wait. I listened all night long to the entire book! It is fantastic. Just like I knew it would be.

Frieda knocks another one out of the park

Fantastic book. I couldn't put it down. I feel like for all the Frieda books I've read, I'd be better at guessing all these twists but here I was shocked at the end of the book. Superb. Can't wait for her next one
