However, the pay and conditions are too tempting to refuse, and as the saying goes, beggars can't be choosers.

Every time I read his name, I thought of Enzo (plumber) on the show Younger, also Italian that married Diana and loved him as well. I consider this a light, cozy thriller (with some killings), and I will certainly read more books by Freida McFadden as I have learned to expect the unexpected. However, this time, the villain she confronts may prove to be more formidable than she ever imagined. Millie has a great deal of sympathy for abused women and will do anything to ensure they escape from harmful situations and by using any means necessary.however, things are not as they seemed, leaving millie torn between helping wendy and risking her job or compromising her values. McFadden does a phenomenal job not describing anything in any kind of detail which is great but there are insinuations of violence against women and self-harm.

She lands the job, but one stipulation is his wife Wendy is sick with a chronic illness and she stays in her room. if you're simply looking for a fast-paced read and don't mind sacrificing character development (or can tolerate millie), then this book is right up your alley. until the day she hears crying from behind her closed bedroom door and finds blood on her white nightgown. It just felt so authentic and added another layer of immersion to this novel for me being a New Yorker and all.

why is it that from the very start, you exude this irresistible charm that simultaneously gives me goosebumps? Anyone who loves The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose, The Woman in the Window and Gone Girl will be totally hooked! Wendy and Fake Douglas make a plan to kill Real Douglas for his money… and to frame Millie for his murder, which really seems like a lot of trouble to go through. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. she’s one of those dense people who would be dead by the opening of any horror movie because they weren’t smart enough to leave the danger behind, and kept purposely ignoring all the signs.

As a psychology (geek) student, I love that McFadden includes case studies and psychological theories into her novels. After thoroughly enjoying the first installment, I eagerly dove into this book, hungry for another whirlwind adventure in the world of Millie the maid. This was brought into the storyline to help us understand Millie's thought process and helps us really engage with her character and her actions. Things started picking up around 50% of the book with the thriller genre coming in to play massively and since then, couldn't help but binge. Addictive, mind-blowing page-turner that will keep you up with a racing heart until you've finished!McFadden gets major props from me for not going into any specifics in both potential trigger warnings.
