You Can Actually Save Money With a Grocery Delivery Service, Says a Financial Expert--These Are the Cheapest Ones

The Housemaid starts with a teaser, as someone is waiting for the police to investigate a murder. From there, it only gets more enthralling! A down-on-her-luck woman interviews for a housemaid position at a wealthy family’s house. The only downside? Some strange instances that leave her uneasy. Like when the woman who hired her purposely makes messes and then accuses the housemaid of making them. Or when she discovers weird scratch marks on the inside of her cramped room. But the money is good, so it’ll be fine…right?

And this reader , who loved The Housemaid so much that she read over a dozen more books by the same author!
