## Description

The Housemaid: An absolutely addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist (The housemaid series, 1) : McFadden, Freida: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Gripping - A brilliant read ! Couldn't put it down, twists and turns that had me desperate to know the outcome. Freida McFadden can certainly tell a story. The first of her books i have read, about to download the next.
Review: Dusting around the edges - The breakout book that launched the literary career of gazillion-selling author Frieda McFadden, and it’s easy to see why this book was such a hit. The story grips the reader from the start with an intriguing set up, and then constantly cranks up the tension throughout. There is enough mystery to keep the reader guessing about the truth behind the characters, and we’re never entirely sure where the book is heading. There are plenty twists (some obvious, and some that you just won’t see coming). There are times when credibility is stretched to breaking point and the ending perhaps feels a bit rushed, but the writing is sharp and the story is well told. The inevitable Netflix adaptation is on its way and may or may not do the book justice. But either way, it’s unlikely to detract in any way from the book’s popularity. If you can over look the plot holes and paper-thin characterization, then this book is a compulsive read. However, in spite of its readability , it is also instantly forgettable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Twisted and clever
*by M***L on 21 January 2026*

The pace in which the author introduces you to the Winchesters house and the characters in the story is clever. She leaves little nuggets of information about each character enough to make you think it could be a red flag. I especially liked how she neatly tied up all the little plots even the parts that appear just comments. Fascinating book with fantastic plot planning character building and psychological twists.
