Reading this book right after reading the coworker also by freida mcfadden wasn't the right choice. It is essentially the same plot line,

the main character is being blaned for murders of someone else and keeps finding things that would convict her of murders she did not convict. Only to find out someone set her up the whole time and wants revenge

I do enjoy Freida's writing style of going from the now to the present to fully set the scene and know why the main character is the way they are now.

The Locked Door, my second Freida McFadden book, was a good read, but I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as The Housemaid. It had a great intro, and there were definitely some twists and turns! Despite how hard I tried, I didn’t guess the ending, so there was some unpredictability. The story line did feel a little rushed to me at times, especially at the end. Overall, it was a good thriller, but not the best I’ve read. Still, I can’t wait to read more books by this author!
