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.... An unbelievably twisty read that will have you glued to the pages late into the night.

Freida has done it once again! Shocking twists after twists! Of course I was hooked by the first book in the series, The Housemaid, but I completely devoured this one. This book war gripping and hard to put down. The ending though, I thought I had it figured out and knew how it was going to wrap up, but boy was I wrong, I love Millie's character and wanting to help, however home girl continues to get herself caught up in some creepy and even dangerous situations. I can't wait to read the next one! If you enjoy thrillers with some shocking twists, I definitely recommend this series.
Great book. Easy read. Several friends recommended it. I breezed right through this and let my mom borrow it. She finished it in 2 days. Lots of twists and turns.
My review below does mention briefly about some spoilers, trigger warning wise this one has a almost SA scene, fat phobic remarks, and eating disorders. I may have missed a few trigger warnings, if you’re interested in reading please google all trigger warnings. I put off reading this for a while because a lot of people were saying that the second book is better then the first and I have to say that I disagree, Millie’s character in The Housemaids secret isn’t as interesting as in The Housemaid. She came off as annoying at times and I just didn’t care for her character in this book. I didn’t really enjoy any other character other then Enzo, Enzo is my all time favorite character from this series, I’m glad he was brought back and I’m happy we are going to be getting more Enzo content in The Housemaid is watching. Something’s that annoyed me about this book is the repetitive way in which Millie says she being watched, I think it pops up like six times, surely their is another way you can say she feels she being watched or show that she is being watched. There are some trigger warnings for this one, a scene where Millie is almost Sa leads to an officer implying that it was because of the way she was dressed (pg 69) during part two of the book there is fat phobic comments and eating disorders. The romance with Brock feels a little unnecessary until the end but the way that Millie was leading him on all while knowing that she wasn’t ready for more and still loved Enzo is one of the reasons I didn’t particularly like her, Enzo leaves to take care of his mother who had declining health and Millie states multiple times that she is mad that he left but it’s literally his only family. The mystery/thrilling bits are different from the first story but at the same time they are still kind of similar, the mystery in general while interesting just wasn’t as hard hitting as the first book, I think I was just expecting a bit more after hearing so many comments about this book, Im hoping Millie’s character gets redeemed for me in the third book but at least I’ll get some more Enzo content. I hope we get some chapters from his perspective.
Great book carrying on a hero like Millie!! This book had lots of twist and kept me on edge the whole time!! Can’t wait to read the next one in the series!!
This Author is very good. The book was written very well. The story was interesting, great for crime drama lovers.
The Housemaids Secret is a real page turner. Millie is rebuilding her life, she has a new boyfriend who adores her but of course has problems with her employer. She is able to secure a new job - but the wife is ill and she isn’t to bother. The wife is apparently being abused and Millie must act……This book is full of twists and turns and is a very satisfying read. I heartily recommend it!
I really enjoyed this book. The plot twists are great. This book kept me interested and engaged. It was a little slower than the 1st book, but it was just good. Looking forward to seeing how the 3rd book goes.
I enjoyed the book because it was such an easy book to read. Read it in 4 days, because it kept me so interested I had a hard time putting it down. And the ending of the story was unexpected like her first one in this series! Recommend to everyone who likes a thriller!
