Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This book was a disappointment to me. The characters were single-dimensional, the plot was stagnant and there was zero tension or suspense. I did not like any of the characters, and the book just seemed to meander aimlessly. I don't know why I finished it, but thought it would get better soon, but it never happened. I certainly cannot recommend this book. Cinco anos após os acontecimentos de A Criada, Millie pensa que pode construir uma vida «normal», formando-se como assistente social e trabalhando para outra família rica… mas está muito enganada! MISTERIOSO, INTENSO E VICIANTE COMO UM VERDADEIRO THRILLER DEVE SER! «Millie, nunca entre no quarto de hóspedes…» Uma sombra abate-se sobre o rosto de Douglas Garrick ao tocar na porta do quarto com a ponta dos dedos. «É que… a minha mulher… está muito doente». Enquanto me continua a mostrar o seu incrível apartamento penthouse num dos prédios mais vistosos da cidade, tenho um pressentimento terrível sobre a mulher fechada naquele quarto. Mas não posso arriscar-me a perder este emprego – pelo menos se quiser continuar a manter o meu segredo. É difícil encontrar empregadores que não façam muitas perguntas, especialmente sobre o passado. Nesse aspeto, agradeço a sorte de os Garrick me terem contratado. Posso trabalhar aqui durante algum tempo, ficar sossegada até conseguir o que quero. Arrumar e limpar a sua deslumbrante penthouse de vista panorâmica sobre a cidade e preparar-lhes refeições sofisticadas na sua cozinha reluzente. O emprego quase perfeito. Só ainda não conheci a Sra. Garrick, nem espreitei o quarto de hóspedes. Tenho a certeza que a ouço chorar às vezes. Também já reparei em manchas de sangue na gola das suas camisas de dormir quando estou a lavar a roupa. Um dia, não consigo evitar bater à porta. E, quando se abre suavemente, o que vejo lá dentro muda tudo.. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"It's hard to find an employer who doesn't ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want. It's almost perfect. But I still haven't met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I'm sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I'm doing laundry. And one day I can't help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything...That's when I make a promise. After all, I've done this before. I can protect Mrs Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe. Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay. It's simply a question of how far I'm willing to go..." --publisher's website. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Because I loved the first book, I decided to give the 2nd one a try. It wasn't as intense as the first one but it had its thrill and twists. I did enjoy the book and I enjoy Freida's writing style. I didn't give this a full 5 star rating because I felt in the first book Millie was this street smart woman but in this second installment after supposedly have already helped numerous women in bad situations she somehow falls so easily into a very dumb situation, that's the best way for me to put it without smoking it.
Overall the book was great don't get me wrong, but my biggest pet peeve in series is when in the first book the hero or heroin is super badass but then in the second does the dumbest mistake, like it makes no sense. Glad she makes up for it in the end.I still highly recommend if you love thrillers with a plot twist that is unexpected. ( )
