The Housemaid
by Freida McFadden
The Housemaid is by Freida McFadden, a Boston-area doctor who started writing thrillers in her spare time and self-publishing them, and is now a global publishing sensation. This is the first book in 'The Housemaid' series, and McFadden almost didn't publish it. It's a good page-turner, but as McFadden told the New York Times, "I’m just trying to be entertaining...I’m not trying to write War and Peace."
