Don't miss the USA Today bestseller and addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist that's burning up Instagram--Freida McFadden's The Housemaid is perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Verity.

"Welcome to the family," Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I'll soon learn that the Winchesters' secrets are far more dangerous than my own...

Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.

I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.

I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late.

But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don't know who I really am.

 

千萬不要錯過《今日美國》暢銷書和讓人欲罷不能的心理驚悚小說,其令人瞠目結舌的情節在IG上是發燒話題--芙蕾達•麥克法登這部《女僕》非常適合露絲•韋爾、麗莎•祖威爾和《不存在的罪人: 真相與虛構的交織, 迷宮中最黑暗的人性悲劇》的粉絲。
 
我握著妮娜•溫徹斯特優雅、修剪整齊的手時,她說:“歡迎來到這個家”。我禮貌地微笑,一邊環顧大理石走廊。在這邊工作是我重新開始的最後機會。我可以假扮成任何我喜歡的人。但我很快就發現,溫徹斯特家的秘密遠比我的祕密還要危險……
 
每天我都會從頭到尾把溫徹斯特家漂亮的房子打掃一遍。我去學校接他們的女兒。我會為全家人準備一頓美味可口的飯菜,然後一個人躲到頂樓的小房間用餐。
 
我盡量去忽略妮娜把家裡弄得亂七八糟後看著我收拾乾淨的事。還有她提到女兒時撒的瞞天大謊。還有她丈夫安德魯一天比一天更消沉。但當我看著安德魯那雙英俊的棕色眼睛充滿痛苦時,我很難不去想像過著妮娜的生活會是什麼樣子--步入式衣櫥,豪車,完美的先生。
 
只有一次我試穿了妮娜乾淨的白色洋裝,只為了想知道穿著它是什麼樣的感覺。但她很快就發現了……當我意識到我的閣樓房門只能從外面鎖上時,一切都太遲了。
 
但我向自己保證:溫徹斯特一家並不知道我是什麼樣的人。
