Millie returns, (again) as a housemaid to a wealthy, attractive couple. She senses the wife of the house is in danger from her husband and tries to assist her and soon thereafter someone dies.  A fast-paced murder mystery which is hard to put down.  Unfortunately both the initial and second reveals are way too easy to predict and the first reveal becomes apparent in the first few chapters. The novel definitely lacks the originality and blindsides of the first novel but it remains a fun read. 3.5/5
