Also Kat just forgives Boone? He was aware she was gang raped and never said anything. I understand he didn't want to be bullied even moreso than he already was for being gay, but someone was literally being assaulted. These people that he knew just never bullied or bothered him again because he was a part of it and now everything is just okay?
Kat also left such a plethora of evidence behind -- her blood in various areas of the house to make it seem like she was murdered. But her body is never going to be found because she isn't dead. The book even tells us that blood can be examined to determine how old it is. If it's found that her blood is older than the time she went missing, that's pretty solid evidence for Jon not murdering her. Also, there's no evidence of Sylvia being in his house or any of her DNA anywhere, so I don't know how he would be responsible for her death.
I thought Kat wanting the money to be transferred from Jon's account to hers was actually a ruse. That the money would go towards some kind of hitman and make it seem like he paid them to kill Kat. If the police see that he sent that amount of money to Kat and that her body isn't anywhere, it's going to have reasonable doubt for his case.
Every one of these characters was just so detestable, it wasn't an enjoyable read. It was made to be so convoluted instead of clever phrasing to throw the reader off. I did like that Kat was pretending to be Vanessa, but even that is unbelievable once you start to think about it. Why would the Norths need their house cleaned so often if they never visit it? Wouldn't they have some pictures of themselves in the house? Daisy, someone who is so interested in social media never asked for Vanessa/Kat's social media? Daisy never googled Vanessa North or her husband?
I mean, it was suspenseful with a couple twists I didn’t see coming. But I hate a “SA survivor turned crazy” story line.
I don’t think that’s a spoiler, it’s pretty obvious from the beginning

The tale of a housekeeper whose main skill isn’t dusting or vacuuming, it’s snooping. Living life as the invisible helper of her rich clients, she spends much of her days uncovering their deepest, darkest secrets…That is until she uncovers a secret that may be even darker than she expected. We follow a confounding case of a bloody scene without a body, absent homeowners, and a missing maid. This book was better than I expected and the final twists and turns were top knotch as we discover that everyone in this book has a secret they’re keeping.
I thought this book was well written. It definitely leads you in one direction while having you second guess if that's what really happened. There's definitely many twists in the last part of the book, giving the reader answers. It kept me engaged, I really enjoyed it.
I liked this author’s style and the way the story line evolved. However, it seemed like there were many insignificant characters and plot lines that did not add much to the story. Overall, I’d read another book by this author!

Loreth Anne White is a one click author for me. This book was a Prime First Read for February and had a reduced whispersync price so this was a win-win all around! I enjoyed the narration and felt that the various accents and character voices were well done. We’ve got a snooping maid’s journal, the rich couple whose house she’s cleaning with secrets galore, and a police detective investigating a potential murder scene. The book itself was a bit difficult to follow at the beginning as there are multiple POVs and timelines but, as things progressed, the plots converged and it all came together for some explosive twists and turns by the end! If you enjoy a good revenge mystery, this one’s for you!
