Book Two
3.5 🍿STARS
Millie is back and cleaning for a new wealthy couple,the Garricks. They live in a super swanky neighborhood in Manhattan, the Penthouse no less!
It appears to be perfect, not a speck of dust in sight. There is one room that she won't be cleaning though. Wendy Garrick is behind closed doors, recovering from an illness.
Millie discovers more than she was prepared for and makes a swift decision regarding Wendy.
This was an entertaining popcorn read. Seasoned thriller readers may want less "telling of the plot" and more discovering of the reveal (at least i did), but we still get some major twists, a nail in the coffin moment and a lifetime movie end. Thunder and lightening included!! ⛈️⚡
If you enjoyed book one or are a fan of the author, I think you'll enjoy this one too. I like the characters Millie and Enzo and would read more featuring them.
Thanks to Netgalley for my arc. OUT February 2023

I am looking forward to the first one still! I’ve heard so many conflicting reviews about FM’s books. Some love them others seem to shred her. Hope you enjoy it Holly! 💚

Glad to see the second lives up to the first. Actually think it's neat that she used basically the same cover, just different color. Fantastic review, Holly!
Fabulous review, Holly! I hope to read book one soon. Glad you are enjoying this series.
