The Housemaid's Secret
von Freida McFadden
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...

It also examines the psychological aspects of its characters, making readers question who can be trusted.
Rezension von Wow, okay. Ich habe dieses Buch wirklich in ähnlich kurzer Zeit wie das erste beendet und zwar mit offenem Mund. Die Plottwists habe ich hier noch weniger kommen sehen, was das Ganze fast noch spannender und nervenaufreibender. Es hätte sich vielleicht noch in Details etwas mehr unterscheiden können vom ersten Teil, da sie relativ ähnliche Prämissen hatten, der Grundgedanke ist aber immer noch aus meiner Sicht spannend und erschütternd.
Rezension von patiimgadaErster teil war besser und ein plot war offensichtlich
Rezension von EmiliDie Schreibweise von Freida McFadden ist wieder so super wie im ersten Band der Buchreihe und es gibt einige Plot Twists, die ich persönlich nicht kommen sah. Allerdings lässt das Ende zu Wünschen übrig, denn im Vergleich zum ersten Band ist das Ende dieses Bandes eher langweilig und bringt keine Vorfreude auf den dritten Band mit sich.
Rezension von Noelia5/5! ich konnte es nicht mehr aus der Hand legen! Die Twists habe ich absolut nicht kommen sehen.
