The Housemaid's Secret (The Housemaid, #2)

Freida McFadden

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 secr...cret 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...

V januári som prečítala psychologický triler Tajomstvo pomocníčky od Freidy McFadden, druhú časť série, ktorý sa veľmi rýchlo čítal a prečítala som ho v dvoch večeroch. Príbeh sleduje pomocníčku Millie, ktorá po strate práce nastúpi do domu Douglasa Garricka, kde ju varujú, aby nevstupovala do hosťovskej izby; Millie v nej nájde krv na nočnej košeli a počuje plač, čo naznačuje, že pani Garricková môže byť v ohrození. Autorka píše svižne s krátkymi kapitolami plnými napätia a zvratov, často mení rozprávača, čím udržiava čitateľa v neistote a šoku. Knihu odporúčam milovníkom psychologických trilerov; je to návykové čítanie plné manipulácie, násilia na ženách a silnej, no zraniteľnej hrdinky, a je dostupná v pevnej väzbe aj ako e-kniha.
