This novel is all over the place given that it's being made into a movie in short order. It's a very quick and easy read too, which provides a nice break. Millie is the main character of this novel and she lands a really great job as a housemaid after being released from prison. She's hopeful and wondering if her background is a secret from her new employers, who hired her so quickly that she wonders if a background check was actually performed. Her new boss, Nina Winchester, however, is incredibly odd and really abusive in Millie's eyes. Everything is soon flipped on its head in this novel.
This was a super quick read for me and exactly what I needed after some heavier reads. I couldn't put the novel down and kept reading even when I knew that I should be sleeping, working, cooking dinner, whatever. The plots are pretty good, but sometimes I want an easy read and this gave me that. I didn't have to chart out characters or plots.
I will say this - it's a very gory thriller. There is a lot of abuse, domestic violence and other not so fuzzy or friendly things in it that might give you pause.
Very much glad that I read it.
