Freida McFadden has built a reputation with books like The Housemaid for tight, addictive psychological suspense — and this story fits right into that pattern. The premise hits close to real life: a marriage collapses, money vanishes, and a woman is pushed out of the life she helped build.

But this isn’t a recovery story. It’s a descent. Naomi’s obsession with her ex-husband’s new girlfriend turns the novel into a slow psychological spiral. You’re constantly asking: is she justified, or has she crossed a line?

McFadden’s strength has always been pacing and sharp twists, and the emotional tension here is the hook. Domestic spaces become threatening. Small discoveries feel explosive. The danger grows quietly.

If you like thrillers where revenge, fear, and survival blur together, this one is hard to resist. It promises the same page-turning (or listen-through-the-night) energy that made her previous books so popular.
