"Another clever thriller with all the twists we've come to expect from this author. "
In this gripping follow-up to The Housemaid, Millie has gained a reputation for helping women escape their abusive, controlling husbands. In echos of the first book,, she finds herself seeking work cleaning for the ultra-wealthy, and at first her new employer, a charismatic multimillionaire with a seemingly fragile wife, appears too good to be true.
When Millie’s “special skills” are called upon, she believes she knows exactly how this story will play out. But she couldn’t be more wrong. As her world is turned upside down, Millie is forced to ask herself: who can she really trust, her new lawyer boyfriend, eager for them to move in together, or the man who once shattered her heart?
