The second half of this book was paced brilliantly and I raced through it. But the first half was tough to get through. I'm not sure how I feel about this book - I think my expectations were too high when I came in. It's an easy read thriller.

I have had The Housemaid on my TBR for a while but was hesitant to read it because other Freida McFadden reads have been so hit or miss - mostly miss. I saw the announcements about the upcoming move and moved it straight to the front. I did not love it. I have a lot of the some complaints that I have for other books by this author. The characters are awful. Not bad people awful. But badly written awful. They are whiny, annoying and poorly developed. With some of these books I can overlook the terrible characters because the plot twists are usually pretty good. Unfortunately, this entire book was fairly predictable and felt vaguely familiar.
At some point I think I have to stop doing this to myself.
