The Housemaid - Freida McFadden

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden is an international bestselling psychological thriller that pulls readers into a world of deception, secrets, and breathtaking twists. As the new maid in the luxurious Winchester household, Millie hopes for a fresh start. But the elegant beauty of the mansion hides disturbing truths, and the family she serves is far more dangerous than they appear.

Each day, Millie cleans the immaculate rooms, cooks perfect meals, and takes care of the Winchesters’ young daughter. Yet odd behaviors and manipulative games begin to surface—Nina’s lies, her growing instability, and Andrew’s quiet desperation. The deeper Millie is drawn into their world, the more she senses that something is terribly wrong.

When her attic bedroom door locks from the outside, she realizes she’s trapped in a life she never chose. But the Winchesters don’t know Millie’s real identity—nor what she is truly capable of.

Suspenseful, addictive, and masterfully twisty, The Housemaid delivers a chilling reading experience perfect for fans of The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us, and The Girl on the Train.
