Publisher’s Summary
“Don’t go in the guest bedroom.” A shadow falls on Douglas Garrick’s face as he touches the door with his fingertips. “My wife…she’s very ill.” 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. 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….
Anyone who loves The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose, The Woman in the Window, and Gone Girl will be totally hooked! This book can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
4/5 stars — “Good but distracting narration “
I liked this better than the first one. Interesting twists. The narration was a little distracting. The pronunciation of Hyundai was ridiculous lol! Overall, good read!— Brooke, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Couldn’t put it down!”
I’m not usually into suspenseful books like this. But my sister Inlaw recommended it. I listened to the first house maid book on a road trip and finished it . The next day I had to read House Maid secrets and OMGOODNESS!! I canceled my vacation plans and ended up staying in my hotel listening to it…I have no regrets about that decision. I’m definitely a fan now!— Tanna, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Frieda did it again… “
I love these characters. I love the plot and I can’t wait to hear more— Becky D, Audible listener
