Entertaining twisty domestic thriller.
Ex con Millie gets a dream job as a live in housekeeper and maid for Nina and Andrew Winchester. In addition to cleaning and cooking, Millie also keeps an eye on their daughter, Cecelia. It doesn’t take long, however, before things start to go awry. It sure doesn’t help that Millie starts to fall for Nina’s handsome husband.
This was full of unreliable narrators and lots of twists that made me race through the pages. Although I guessed what was coming, it was a fun ride getting there. I was able to listen to the audiobook while also following along in the e-book ARC provided long ago by the publisher. The narrator did a great job with her accent and dramatic flair to bring the story to life.
You never quite know how far out Frieda McFadden will go in her plots, but I always anticipate the unexpected and the guessing makes it more pleasurable. I’ll be reading the other two novels in this series shortly.
This is the first of 3 novels in a series that should be read in order.
