The Housemaid

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden follows Millie Calloway, an ex-convict desperate for work after prison, who lands a live-in housekeeping job with the wealthy Winchester family in their sprawling Long Island mansion. Assigned to an attic room with a door that locks only from the outside and facing erratic demands from flighty wife Nina, charming husband Andrew, and spoiled daughter Cecelia, Millie uncovers unsettling family tensions and warnings from the groundskeeper. As her role blurs into dangerous intimacy and bizarre events escalate, the thriller probes deception, power imbalances, and survival instincts in a gilded cage without revealing its shocking reversals.
