BOOK REVIEW
BOOK TITLE: THE HOUSEMAID'S SECRET
AUTHOR: FREIDA McFADDEN
GENRE: PSYCHOLOGICAL
THRILLER
“This perfect home has one rule. Don't look behind closed doors”
Millie wished for nothing more than to live without her past. She wanted a new start, get a degree and build a home. But the past we dare to forget always finds its way back to our present and secrets don't like to stay secret and indiscretion comes with a lot of baggage.
Millie and Enzo are characters I wish for everyone to emulate partially. Good, in their eagerness to help people at any cost, reaching out to women under abusive marriages and bad, in the sense that they would go at all length to get revenge, not minding it be illegally.
Another unspeakable detail that got me was professor kindred's lecture where he said about “Kitty Genovese, a twenty-eight year old bartender who was attacked, raped, and murdered in front of thirty-eight witnesses”. At first, I thought of it as a fictional character but on searching the name on google and the incident popped up, I got goosebumps. It actually did happen in New York in 1964.
I recommend this novel for persons of 18+ because there were written accounts of blood and violence.
