The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

alcastro1989's review against another edition

challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? N/A
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I think all the hype surrounding this book got to me. I expected big things, but didn’t feel it lived up to the hype. 

I found myself struggling the first 130 pages, but when all the things fell in place I was hooked. Part two brought everything to light. But the ending was definitely top notch.
