1 About this book
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.

2 What to expect
The second Housemaid thriller: Millie, a maid with a past she keeps quiet, takes a job cleaning and cooking in a wealthy couple's city penthouse, where the wife stays out of sight behind a closed door. Like the first book it runs on short chapters, a narrator who thinks she understands what she is seeing, and a string of reversals. It is fast and easy to read, and it follows on from The Housemaid.
Good for readers who want: a thriller and a mystery.
