The Housemaid's Secret is the second book in the Housemaid trilogy by Freida McFadden and it is well worth picking up a copy and giving it a read.
In the Housemaid's Secret, we follow Millie continuing to improve her life. She has enrolled in a programme and on her graduation, she plans to be working as a social worker. She is also in a committed relationship with a man called Broc who is a lawyer and completely n love with Millie. However, Millie is still pining for her ex (Enzo) but she is trying to move on with her life. This is probably a part of Millie's story that most people can at some level relate to.
Millie is holding down a part time job as a housemaid. She works for the Garrick's. Millie's main dealings is with Douglas Garrick who is adamant that Millie does not approach the wife Wendy. He tells Millie that Wendy is very ill and she does not like to be disturbed. This is the first housemaid job in which Millie does not have any dealings with the wife and she finds it somewhat unsettling.
Millie is a very curious person (annoyingly so) and she snoops around to find out more about Wendy. She soon learns that Wendy is strikingly underweight and wears some obvious bruises on her face.
Since the first book, Millie has become passionate about helping abused women. So when she senses that Wendy may be in trouble, she has to intervene.
However, not all is as it seems and I cannot speak more of the story without giving away some important spoilers.
The second book has a lot of twists and it really picks up in the end. The story did not go as I thought it would and I think the writer really did manage to pull it out of the bag with this one.
