The Housekeeper is the second book that I've read by Joy Fielding and she continues to captivate me. The plot appears to be your expected thriller but Fielding puts a few twists and surprises that I really enjoyed.

Jodi is a successful career woman, loving wife and mother. Even though, Jodi is underappreciated by her parents and self absorbed sister, she still tries to do what's best for the family. Like interview plenty of prospect housekeepers to help her father take care of her invalid mother. Enter Elyse who seems way too good to be true. Elyse moves in and starts working but soon Jodi starts to notice that things start to go missing and everyone close to her are beginning to behave suspiciously. There were a few red flags as a reader that I didn't really like of Jodi's character but the author made it easy to get past with the added twists.
