The Housemaid's Secret

"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 ..."--

Twisty and surprising Just when I think I have this whole thing figured out there is a major curve ball thrown in with 2 other redirects. I love being surprised all the way through the very end of a book,and i think it's safe to say the author got me again!

If you think Nina from the first book was bad.. You haven’t met Wendy Gerrick. Millie finds herself yet again hired as help for the Gerrick family. This couple is very mysterious. With a wife staying in her room and a very disturbing husband. But something isn’t right.. what is this couple hiding.. who are these people.. truly. My opinion: Happening a few years after the first book. Millie’s life has changed. Her new love interest Brock is interesting. A character from the first book makes an appearance. I really enjoyed this book. Everything fell together. A few shocks. The ending caught my breath. I am obsessed with these books. But sadly I’m starting the 3rd book soon and I do not want it to end.
