About the Book

Book Cover: Author of Beneath Devil's Bridge, Loreth Anne White, The MAid's Diary, A Novel

A cunning, twisty, and unsettling novel of psychological suspense with a startling conclusion by Loreth Anne White, the Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestselling author of The Patient’s Secret.

Kit Darling is a maid with a snooping problem. She’s the “invisible girl,” compelled to poke into her wealthy clients’ closely guarded lives. It’s a harmless hobby until Kit sees something she can’t unsee in the home of her brand-new clients: a secret so dark it could destroy the privileged couple expecting their first child. This makes Kit dangerous to the couple. In turn, it makes the couple—who might kill to keep their secret—dangerous to Kit.

When homicide cop Mallory Van Alst is called to a scene at a luxury waterfront home known as the Glass House, she’s confronted with evidence of a violent attack so bloody it’s improbable the victim is alive. But there’s no body. The homeowners are gone. And their maid is missing. The only witness is the elderly woman next door, who woke to screams in the night. The neighbor was also the last person to see Kit Darling alive.

As Mal begins to uncover the secret that has sent the lives of everyone involved on a devious and inescapable collision course, she realizes that nothing is quite as it seems. And no one escapes their past.

My Review

The Maid’s Diary, by Loreth Anne White is mystery with more twists and turns than I could count. Start with a murder scene with no body, add one missing maid and two missing homeowners and you have a murder mystery of the highest calliber. Once discovered, the answers seem to lie in the maid’s diary… or do they? All is not as it as it seems, and the answers lie twenty years in the past, so hold on to your seats as the story unravels and what really happened is revealed. I bet you’ll be surprised. I was.

A mystery that keeps you guessing to the very end, as all good mysteries should. I give The Maid’s Diary five quills.

Five Quills
