Vuelve LA EMPLEADA que ha revolucionado el thriller.
Yo solía trabajar limpiando las casas de otras personas, ahora apenas puedo creerme que este sea mi hogar. La encantadora cocina, la calle tranquila, el enorme jardín en el que los niños pueden jugar. Mi marido y yo hemos ahorrado durante años para que mis hijos tengan la vida que se merecen.
Aunque siento algo de recelo hacia nuestra vecina, la señora Lowell, veo su invitación a cenar como una oportunidad para hacer amigos. Cuando su doncella abre la puerta con un delantal blanco y el pelo recogido en un moño tirante, sé exactamente cómo se siente. Pero su gélida mirada me produce escalofríos…
La doncella de los Lowell no es lo único extraño de nuestra calle. Estoy convencida de que alguien nos observa. Y cuando conozco a la mujer que vive enfrente, sus palabras me dejan petrificada: «Ten cuidado con tus vecinos».
¿Cometí un terrible error mudándome aquí con mi familia?
Pensaba que había dejado atrás mis secretos oscuros. Pero ¿podría ser este apacible barrio residencial el sitio más peligroso de todos?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A twisting, pulse-pounding thriller from Freida McFadden, the New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid and The Coworker
“You must be our new neighbors!” Mrs. Lowell gushes and waves across the picket fence. I clutch my daughter’s hand and smile back: but the second Mrs. Lowell sees my husband a strange expression crosses her face. In that moment I make a promise. We finally have a family home. My past is far, far behind us. And I’ll do anything to keep it that way…
I used to clean other people’s houses―now, I can’t believe this home is actually mine. The charming kitchen, the quiet cul-de-sac, the huge yard where my kids can play. My husband and I saved for years to give our children the life they deserve.
Even though I’m wary of our new neighbor Mrs. Lowell, when she invites us over for dinner it’s our chance to make friends. Her maid opens the door wearing a white apron, her hair in a tight bun. I know exactly what it’s like to be in her shoes. But her cold stare gives me chills…
The Lowells’ maid isn’t the only strange thing on our street. I’m sure I see a shadowy figure watching us. My husband leaves the house late at night. And when I meet a woman who lives across the way, her words chill me to the bone: Be careful of your neighbors.
Did I make a terrible mistake moving my family here? I thought I’d left my darkest secrets behind. But could this quiet suburban street be the most dangerous place of all?
