The Housekeeper is described as a "nail-biting psychological thriller". It is far from it. Nothing much happens in this book; however, it is an interesting and intense character study about a woman who is trying to come to terms with her past.

Anne Morgan has an obsessive personality. Having no family, she desperately latches onto to whoever is in her life. When her boyfriend, who also happens to be her boss, her world comes crashing down. The only small shred of happiness in her life are the daily affirmation emails she receives from Emma Helmsley, an English version of Martha Stewart/Oprah.

While stalking Emma on instragram, Anne comes across a post that will change her life. She eventually becomes the Helmsley’s housekeeper and immerses herself into the family. She transfers her obsession with Anton onto Emma, her husband, Mark, and their two children. Her love for the family blinds her to their flaws, until it is too late: Anne builds the Helmsely’s up as perfect and protects their secrets until they steal her own.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
