My review of The Housemaid by Freida McFadden:

Torture Porn For Mommies

I read this book to fulfill a Goodreads challenge. I also was curious to experience a book that topped popularity rankings. I was not disappointed in the damp trash within. Everything else was a disappointment.

Where do I start? No plot advancement until page 250, loads of body shaming, pandering to anti-vax mommies, ethnic stereotypes, and more kidnapping fetishization than a British procedural. The thing that was most troublesome? The promise of horniness yet this author only delivered barely more than a clinical, paint-by-numbers illustration of sexual content. Not much swinging and definitely a miss.
