However, as secrets begin to unravel and tensions rise, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems. McFadden's masterful storytelling creates an atmosphere of suspense and uncertainty, leaving readers guessing until the very end. What I loved most about "The Housemaid" is its unpredictable plot twists. Just when you think you have it all figured out, McFadden throws in a curveball that leaves you reeling.
