“Don’t go in the guest bedroom.” A shadow falls on Douglas Garrick’s face as he touches the door with his fingertips. “My wife… she’s very ill.” As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can’t risk losing this job—not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe…
It’s hard to find an employer who doesn’t ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want.
It’s almost perfect. But I still haven’t met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I’m sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I’m doing laundry. And one day I can’t help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything…
That’s when I make a promise. After all, I’ve done this before. I can protect Mrs Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe.
Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay. It’s simply a question of how far I’m willing to go…
This absolutely explosive and shockingly twisty sequel to international phenomenon and New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller The Housemaid will keep you racing through the pages late into the night. Anyone who loves The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose, The Woman in the Window and Gone Girl will be totally hooked!

I'm sorry but Millie was just way to annoying in this book.
First of all, I felt so bad for Brock and it's clear she never liked him so why was she leading him on.
Then at a point she said she questioned whether Enzo was really trustworthy cause he beat a man half to death when she should definetely be the last person judging someone for that so I was really confused at where that even came from.
The ‘twists' were also really underwhelming and were not written well at all.
Really enjoyed this. The first one was superior. The very last twist, unnecessary.
this book totally takes me back to the exciting world of Bollywood thrillers from the 2000s. The level of drama in this book is off the charts! It's like a wild rollercoaster ride, one intense moment after another, leaving me speechless and completely puzzled. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at some of the delightfully crazy scenes. Who doesn't enjoy a little bit of delightful craziness, right?
4.5* this writing style is so compelling and fast paced! Exactly what i needed to get me out of my slump
