If this were a movie I am streaming, I'd watch it in one sitting which is something I rarely do. From the first page to the last, it was a struggle putting the book down. I just had to know what happens next.

Millie, a convict currently on parole, was hired by Nina as a maid. For Millie, it was the chance to turn a new leaf because ex-cons are not choice candidates for hiring. However, the chance for a new beginning becomes a nightmare right from Day 1 as Nina's maid. There are secrets that happen inside the house and Millie found herself in the middle of it.

This book is about lies and torture. The tortures were a bit graphic, so be cautious if that makes you uncomfortable.

Highly predictable, many Deus ex machina moments to solve the story near the end.
I don't understand why people call this a thriller.
The book read like a movie script and not a novel, so the writing quality is mediocre.
Still, nice and quick read for in the place, finished the book in a couple of hours.
