Perfect family. Perfect home. Perfect target.
When Evelyn Bennett accepts a position as housemaid to one of Boston's most prestigious families, she knows exactly what she's looking for – and it's not just a paycheck. Behind the gleaming windows of their Beacon Hill mansion, the Bennett family's flawless veneer is about to shatter.
With each perfectly folded towel and meticulously prepared meal, Evelyn inches closer to their darkest secrets. She watches. She waits. She learns their routines, their weaknesses, their fears. But the Bennetts are watching her too – and they're beginning to sense that the quiet young woman they invited into their home might be their worst nightmare.
As psychological warfare escalates behind closed doors, no one is safe. Not Katherine Bennett, the powerhouse CEO's with everything to lose. Not her husband James, whose past indiscretions are finally catching up to him. And certainly not their teenage daughter Olivia, who's beginning to realize that Evelyn knows far too much about her private life.
But who is the predator, and who is the prey? In this twisted game of cat and mouse, the roles keep shifting until no one knows who to trust – and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried.
From Victoria Lanne comes a nerve-shattering psychological thriller that will make you question everyone you let into your home. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell's "The Family Upstairs" and Freida McFadden's "The Housemaid," this addictive thriller will keep you up all night – and make you think twice about hiring help.
