About this listen

Newlyweds Tricia and Ethan are searching for the house of their dreams. But when they visit the remote manor that once belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale, a renowned psychiatrist who vanished without a trace four years earlier, a violent winter storm traps them at the estate… with no chance of escape until the blizzard comes to an end.

In search of a book to keep her entertained until the snow abates, Tricia happens upon a secret room. One that contains audio transcripts from every single patient Dr. Hale has ever interviewed. As Tricia listens to the cassette tapes, she learns about the terrifying chain of events leading up to Dr. Hale’s mysterious disappearance.

Tricia plays the tapes one by one, late into the night. With each one, another shocking piece of the puzzle falls into place, and Dr. Adrienne Hale’s web of lies slowly unravels. And then Tricia reaches the final cassette. The one that reveals the entire horrifying truth.

A twist too far?

I’m a big fan of The Housemaid but the other books of hers I’ve read so far are a bit too contrived. I really appreciate her dark story lines but this is too clever for its own good and leaves you feeling lied to too many times.

Finished the book in a day!

Fantastic book! Listened to it in 1 day! Jaw dropping, and lots of twists I wasn’t expecting.

Thrilling and twisty

Loved it. Great voice and slight tweaks for character voices. The story itself had us guessing (wrongly) and wondering what twist might be coming up, didn’t expect that! The story did a great job at setting up a likely twist and throwing a curve ball, but the journey itself was enjoyable and engaging throughout. Recommend!

I thought I had it all worked out but I’ll tell ya I was happily surprised at the twist I didn’t see coming. Well written story, kept me intrigued the whole way through

Great twist

Just when you think you've figured out the characters..... nope. Enjoyed the multiple characters and their foibles.

Predictable

The ending was too predictable and the story line was a cliche. The narrator was clear and spoke well but lacked the ability to build suspense and give the character tone. Freida is a talented writter but this wasn't her best.

loved it

Such a great book, had me hooked the whole way thru I finished it in one day! I enjoyed the way it was pieced together and the ending was well done. The narration was great too, easy to know which character was speaking. I think I've found my new fav author
