THE HOUSEMAID

Locked Attics, Dark Secrets & Freida McFadden: A Late-Night Reflection.

Millie in prison, Nina in her riches. From the magnificent chandelier to the modest attic — the journey shapes in a 10-year-old beaten-up Nissan. Endless are these pieces, I meant ought to be, by Frieda — Freida McFadden. She is a genius, the real one!

This surely is a good one from Freida’s quiver of many! I looked up at the clock — it’s night, deep, and it’s 2 AM. In a dilemma to read or go back to sleep — this is so intriguing. I continued.

They are locked in the attic; despair is what they felt. Evil is on the other side, footsteps fading away. Their world is cramped, with a window that does not open — a fridge with three small water bottles, and comfort is called a bucket.

There are eyes on you; you can’t falter — with love and lies. Consequences are deadly — the bloodied ones. Garbs everyone wears are fabricated — everyone is attentive, at least they think so. Cobwebs are messy here, and misleading is the demeanour. Lonely are the nights and sometimes not — not because of what you feel.

Perilous are the days in that house, the dreadful ones — would they survive? If yes — then who? A journey to find freedom — all in the queue: a parolee, a mother, a brother!

Freida unveils the curtain slowly, albeit in an engaging manner; you persist all the way — you don’t have any other choice. Discipline is supreme; punishment is parlous.

Teeth on the floor, blood on the rag, heads tremble with anticipation of the dread — that’s the end. They move on, from the casket to the beaches. The attic waits for another victim — will it find any?

Catch this gripping thriller by none other than Freida — Freida McFadden! A binge-worthy, one-sit read.

And don’t mind the prickles on the throat — those are usual because the attic is stuffy, and its window does not open!

Observe them closely, because everyone is chasing their interest — they are ruthless.
