The Housemaid's Secret
by Freida McFadden
Book Overview
Housemaid Millie Calloway takes a gleaming penthouse job and discovers Wendy Garrick living in terror. Determined to save her, Millie engineers an escape that explodes into violence—she kills the supposed abuser in self-defense—then uncovers a colder design: Wendy positions her as the murderer of an imposter while plotting to kill her real husband and seize his fortune. Framed and cornered, Millie pushes back through a maze of deceit and revenge, and the quiet maid proves far more formidable than anyone expects.
