The Housemaid's Secret by Freida McFadden
2.5
dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced

If you're the type to read the occasional silly domestic thriller, then look no further. 

The first book had me hooked, despite myself. However, the epilogue had me questioning whether this sequel would be worth the read. My curiosity prevailed, of course, and I find I have no regrets. While this book, at times, is quite silly, I can't deny that it was fun. It goes to great lengths to be unpredictable. Unfortunately, it fails most of the time, but it tries. 

I guess I'll read the third installment, but that's mostly because I bought it when I bought this one.
