I found myself reading three heavier books this week (content, depth, impactfulness), so I needed lighter reads in between to mix it up and wind down my brain. So, I read this and another by the same author.
I like this author and her thrillers because they are just easy to follow and quick to read; it's like the equivalent of a Netflix one-time show that you sit down and watch almost all at once and get a quick fix. Again, they won't necessarily make you smarter, but they will entertain you. They both are good, kept me guessing, and I still can't crack the author's code of "whodunit"; my earlier guesses were wrong.
Any is good for weekend read if you are looking. Just realize the Housemaid is a series, this is book two. Problem for me is now that I have read 2 of the 3 in the Housemaid series, it sucks to wait until June for the third book to come out.
