The Housemaid: An absolutely addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist

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 odd lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken on a daily basis. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to consider 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 actually am.

They don’t know what I’m capable of…
