Lies. Secrets. An attic bedroom that can only be locked from the outside. Intriguing? We think so. It's all in The Housemaid, the most popular book on Booktok (TikTok's virtual cozy reading corner for all book lovers). This psychological thriller by Frieda McFadden is dark and twisty, and right now you can get it at Target for almost 50% off!
The Housemaid starts with a teaser of a character waiting for the police to investigate a murder. From there, the story gets more and more interesting. A down-on-her-luck woman interviews for a job as a housekeeper in the home of a wealthy family. The only downside? There are some strange occurrences that make her uneasy. Like when the woman who hired her purposely makes a mess and blames the housekeeper for it. Or when she discovers strange scratches on the inside of the tiny room. But the money is good, so it's okay… right? Related Articles Grocery delivery services can actually save you money, according to financial experts. Here are the cheapest
The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden
I finished this book in 2 days. I couldn't put it down. I found myself screaming at the protagonist and staring at the pages with my mouth agape in disbelief at what was happening. People who love this book also love it. This reader swears that they didn't know what was going on “at any point.” This reader also loved “The Housemaid” and has read over a dozen books by the same author.
The Housemaid is recommended for fans of Verity by Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Colleen Hoover. If you like this book, McFadden has published two sequels. Pick it up now while it's on sale at Target – you won't regret it (unless you read it at night, in which case you might regret it if you can't sleep after!)
