The Housemaid's Secret Paperback – July 11, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
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. Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train will be completely hooked!

🎧 Audiobook: The narrator does an excellent job!
The Housemaid's Secret continues the saga of Millie. She has a new employer now, Douglas & Wendy Garrick, who hire Millie to clean their penthouse suite.
✴️ What I liked:
~ I absolutely love the unexpected twists and ending!
~ Broccoli 🥦 🤣
✴️ What didn't work for me:
~ The beginning was a bit slow.
✴️ Final thoughts:
Freida does it again! The Housemaid series is my absolute favorite and I have already started reading the finale, The Housemaid is Watching!
Witty and well written. This is only my second book by Freida McFadden, but I am now a fan, and have added more of her books to my Kindle to read. I'm grateful that she doesn't describe intimate situations in graphic detail (at least in her Housemaid series so far). She only alludes to it in most cases and leaves the details to the imagination. She isn't relying on the "spice" to sell the book, the story does that for her.
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.
