У цьому домі лише одне правило. Тримайтесь якомога далі від зачинених дверей…

Міллі Келловей намагається знайти роботу. Це непросто. Адже наївно сподіватися, що прискіпливий роботодавець не поцікавиться минулим дівчини. Проте казкова вдача таки на боці Міллі. Нині вона — служниця у неймовірному пентхаусі багатіїв Дугласа та Венді Гарріків. Прибирання коштовних інтер’єрів та готування вишуканих страв майже не обтяжує. А господар не висуває зайвих умов. Крім однієї. Не турбувати місис Гаррік…

Щось у цьому домі не так. Чому господиня не виходить зі спальні? Чому звідти долинає плач? Що це за кров?.. Запитань більше, ніж відповідей. Це штовхає Міллі до дії, спонукає допомогти…

A heart pounding, twisting thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid and The Coworker!

One by one, they will get what they deserve...

Claire Matchett needs this trip. It will be a break from work and raising children. A chance to repair her damaged marriage. A week of hiking and hot tubbing with friends at a luxurious hotel in the woods, disconnected from the pressures of real life.

Then, on a lonely dirt road, Claire's minivan breaks down. With no cell reception, the group has no choice but to walk the rest of the way to their remote accommodation. But the forest is dark and difficult to navigate and, hours later, they are lost. Hopelessly lost.

As they venture deeper into the woods, the members of their party are struck down mysteriously, one by one. Are they being hunted? And by what—or who? As Claire's dream vacation descends into a nightmare, something becomes clear: only one of them will return home alive.

A taut story of betrayal and survival from New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden that will leave you wondering if there's any way out of the woods…

Eve has a good life. She wakes up each day, kisses her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except… Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye. Addie can’t be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that’s what everyone says. But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet…

Millie credea că va face curat în casa lor. În schimb, a descoperit inimi pline de praf și secrete murdare.

— Să nu intri în dormitorul de oaspeți.

O umbră cade pe chipul lui Douglas Garrick, în timp ce cu vârful degetelor atinge ușa.

— Soţia mea... este foarte bolnavă.

În timp ce el continuă să-mi arate apartamentul de lux, mă cuprinde un sentiment îngrozitor. Ce se întâmplă cu femeia din spatele acelei uși închise? Nu, nu trebuie să-mi vâr nasul în treburi care nu mă privesc. Nu dacă vreau să-mi păstrez cel mai întunecat secret în siguranță. Și slujba...

Este greu să găsesc un angajator care să nu pună prea multe întrebări despre trecutul meu. Așa că zâmbesc mulțumită știind că familia Garrick mi-a oferit în mod miraculos o slujbă. Trebuie doar să curăț acest penthouse cu priveliște uimitoare asupra orașului, să pregătesc mese delicioase în bucătăria lor strălucitoare și să mă prefac că... nu văd nimic din ce se întâmplă. Nu e greu, pot să stau aici o vreme, până găsesc altceva mai bun.

Da, este aproape perfect! Dar încă nu am întâlnit-o pe doamna Garrick, deși sunt sigură că am auzit-o plângând. Uneori, observ pete de sânge în jurul gâtului cămășilor ei de noapte, atunci când trebuie să le spăl. Iar într-o zi, nu m-am mai putut abține și am bătut la ușă. Când ușa s-a deschis, totul s-a schimbat...

Atunci mi-am facut o promisiune: o voi proteja pe doamna Garrick. Vinovatul trebuie să plătească, iar eu trebuie să decid cât de departe voi merge pentru a-i provoca suferință.

„Bine ai venit în familie!”, îmi spune Nina Winchester, în timp ce îmi strânge mâna. Acest job este ultima mea șansă de a începe o nouă viață. Șansa de a mă reinventa, de a fi altcineva. Dar în curând voi afla că secretele familiei Winchester sunt mult mai întunecate decât ale mele…

În fiecare zi, fac curățenie în casa familiei Winchester. O iau pe fiica lor de la școală. Le gătesc o cină delicioasă și mă retrag în cămăruța mea de la mansardă. Încerc să ignor faptul că Nina face mizerie doar ca să mă privească cum curăț. Trec cu vederea toate minciunile absurde pe care le spune și îmi mușc buza de jos de fiecare dată când mă acuză pe nedrept.

Îmi este mult mai greu să-l ignor pe soțul ei perfect, Andrew, cu șarmul lui blând și zâmbetul frumos. Visez uneori să fiu în locul Ninei, să am viața ei, hainele scumpe, brațele soțului ei în jurul meu.

Ce nu ar fi trebuit să ignor însă este faptul că ușa dormitorului meu se încuie doar din exterior.

Nu-i nimic, soții Winchester nu știu cu adevărat cine sunt. Nu au nicio idee de ce sunt în stare.

Two women. An office filled with secrets. One terrible crime that can't be taken back.

Dawn Schiff is strange.

At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m.

So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell―beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running―is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything…

It turns out Dawn wasn't just an awkward outsider―she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim?

But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill.

The Coworker is a tense, unputdownable thriller from New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden that explores the dark ways the past can echo through the present―with deadly consequences.

“Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own…

There are three rules Brooke Sullivan must follow as a new nurse practitioner at a men’s maximum-security prison:

1) Treat all prisoners with respect.

2) Never reveal any personal information.

3) Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.

But none of the staff at the prison knows Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary’s most notorious and dangerous inmates.

And they certainly don’t know that Shane was Brooke’s high school sweetheart—the star quarterback who is now spending the rest of his life in prison for a series of grisly murders. Or that Brooke's testimony was what put him there.

But Shane knows.

Quinn Alexander has committed an unthinkable crime.

To avoid spending her life in prison, Quinn makes a run for it. She leaves behind her home, her job, and her family. She grabs her passport and heads for the northern border before the police can discover what she’s done.

But when an unexpected snowstorm forces her off the road, Quinn must take refuge at the broken-down, isolated Baxter Motel. The handsome and kindly owner, Nick Baxter, is only too happy to offer her a cheap room for the night.

Unfortunately, the Baxter Motel isn’t the quiet, safe haven it seemed to be. The motel has a dark and disturbing past. And in the dilapidated house across the way, the silhouette of Nick's ailing wife is always at the window. Always watching.

In the morning, Quinn must leave the motel. She'll pack up her belongings and get back on the road to freedom.

But first, she must survive the night.

While eleven-year-old Nora Davis was up in her bedroom doing homework, she had no idea her father was killing women in the basement.

Until the day the police arrived at their front door.

Decades later, Nora’s father is spending his life behind bars, and Nora is a successful surgeon with a quiet, solitary existence. Nobody knows her father was a notorious serial killer. And she intends to keep it that way.

Then Nora discovers one of her young female patients has been murdered. In the same unique and horrific manner that her father used to kill his victims.

Somebody knows who Nora is. Somebody wants her to take the fall for this unthinkable crime. But she’s not a killer like her father. The police can’t pin anything on her.

Because it turns out Monica isn't who she says she is. The woman now carrying Abby's child has dark, twisted secrets.

And she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
