This was a great thriller with multiple perspectives and flashback/forward narratives. I always enjoy an unreliable narrator, and the examination of the patriarchy and the women who uphold it made me reflect more than the average thriller. I'd certainly recommend this book to a thriller lover, and I look forward to reading more work by Loreth Anne White.

Don’t mess with the maids!!

Loved this book. What an exciting read, a great story of justice. A thrilling read keeps you on the edge of your seat. I did start to work it all out closer to the end but that didn’t spoil it just made it more exciting.

Quick read, I couldn't put this down. Some holes in the plot and other details never explained.
