The Housemaid

Product Information

If this is the part of the job where i find out cecelia has actually been dead for ten years and is a ghost, i’m quitting.

Nina is forced to drop out of college and begin working after she gets pregnant after a drunken one-night stand. When she gets hired by Nina and Andrew as a live-in housemaid/nanny she believes she has found her dream job.In Part One, Nina Winchester is looking for a maid to clean, help out with her daughter Cecilia, and perhaps prepare a meal on occasion. I love trying to figure out what is going to happen, where the plot is going, who is telling the truth, who is reliable, etc. As the story progresses we learn the marriage between Nina and Andrew is far from perfect, there’s tension and a lot of history simmering. At Andrew’s wake, Evelyn Winchester, Andrew’s mother, reveals to Nina that she disciplined Andrew as a child in a similar manner to how Andrew tortured Nina. During the night, when Millie wakes to use the bathroom, the doorknob sticks, and she starts to panic; she gets the door open but has a sense of foreboding.

Good for her for going in a totally different direction with no projection of her medical career/knowledge in the story.Summertime is always the thriller season for me and I'm so happy I kicked off this season with something as good as these books.

The anticipation heightens, and the revelation of the epilogue only serves to fuel the desire to explore what lies ahead in the next instalment. The swift progression of events kept me turning the pages eagerly, despite moments of predictability that, while not unexpected, didn't detract significantly from the enjoyment. The Housemaid follows Millie, a down on her luck gal who is just trying to start her life again after some very painful events. Thinking back on everything, I can’t tell you how many authentic jaw-dropping moments I had while reading this as this novel completely blew my mind.and by doll, i’m of course talking about that creepy talking doll in the twilight zone that murders people. Freida lives with her family and black cat in a centuries-old three-story home overlooking the ocean, with staircases that creak and moan with each step, and nobody could hear you if you scream.

After all the buzzing hype surrounding this book that never seems to diminish, I finally decided it was time to dive in and award myself some entertaining popcorn reading. Haven't been able to get into a book for months now, just couldn't find something that grasped my attention. Part one is Millie and although the storyline is OTT it’s readable though for an ex con Nina sure ain’t savvy.

She’s given a tiny room in the attic that only locks from the outside and has a window that doesn’t open.
