I loved The Housemaid so I went straight into The Housemaid's Secret and unfortunately, I was left disappointed.
Millie Calloway has recently been hired by Douglas Garrick to be his housemaid but tells her not to disturb his wife Wendy who stays in the guestroom of their penthouse apartment. She has been unwell recently. Millie instantly gets a bad vibe and thinks that Douglas must be abusing Wendy.
I find that in all McFadden's books, the main characters are just stupid. The format didn't feel fresh, especially when you get to Part 2 and it goes back to the Step 1/Step 2/Step 3 etc format that The Housemaid had. For me, there were too many twists which made it too unbelievable and I felt myself constantly rolling my eyes.
