A great thriller! 

Definitely a page-turner. Interesting premise; a maid obsessed with snooping on the secrets of her rich clients. Multiple POVs between the rich clientele, the detective, and Kit, the maid. I liked the fact that nothing was what it seemed on the surface, which meant twists were possible at every turn.

Check trigger warnings.
