A prisoner on parole, Millie looking for a job is offered to be the housemaid at the lavish residence of Winchesters’. How did she pass the background verification and end up with the offer at such a place? With that still being a mystery, Millie takes up the job only to uncover more mysteries in the Winchester household.
She encounters Andrew - the rich and handsome husband in the house, Nina - the psychotic wife, Cece - a spoiled child and Enzo - a mysterious Italian gardener and each one has a past that remains secret to Millie. When the going gets tough for Millie with all the humiliation she suffers at the household, she is bent upon unravelling the mysteries and save her life from ending up in jail once again. Millie’s secret past and the revelation at the end that gives closure to the tangled story knots makes this novel an engaging read.
The characters are not flawless and the situations drive their decisions and actions - this works in favour of the novel. With consistent high points, the novel is interesting, but the novel has its own share of shortcomings in the form of predictability in many places.
Nothing exceptional, but still a gripping read.
