The Housemaid's Secret : McFadden, Freida: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: gripping - Fantastic read - so well written with many twists and turns that I could not predict - cannot wait for book 3 😬 Review: Exciting read that is fast paced throughout - This is the 2nd in a trilogy. I had read the first and enjoyed it so was looking forward to the second. This author has written more than 20 novels so, if they carry on being good, then I'd got lots of reading to do. This was first published in 2023. The book has 327 pages split into 74 chapters. This is written in the first person and gives a conspiratorial edge to the narrative which is a delight to read. The narrators (there are two) are always trying to hide something from someone and it's great being the reader as we usually know what is going on. It's useful to have read the first book but not essential as the author gradually reveals Millie's secrets as the story goes on. This author has a confidence which shines through her writing and I felt I was in safe hands. Of course, the plot is ridiculous but that doesn't matter as this is delicious fun. The twists and turns are cleverly written. Unusually for a novel, none of the characters are particularly likeable but that adds to the enjoyment. The book is a fast paced read which speeds up towards the end. It's great fun but won't stay in my head for long. There is some violence but it is controlled and appropriate, making this an exciting read.

Alright I suppose
I just feel that the author has great plot ideas and can write twists. But she doesn't give the reader enough credit and keeps repeating herself

Gripping
An absolutely gripping read from start to finish! The story is packed with unexpected twists and turns that kept me completely hooked. Just when you think you’ve got everything figured out — you’re wrong! She does an incredible job of building suspense and creating characters you can’t quite trust. Every chapter leaves you wanting more, and the ending was both shocking and satisfying. If you love fast-paced psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the very last page, this one is a must-read!
