The Maid's Diary: A Novel

Written by Loreth Anne White

Narrated by Jane Oppenheimer

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.

I absolutely couldn’t stop listening! I’m from the west coast and so it was super cool to read a book set in parts I know so well! It was a great story and very engaging! I’m so glad I found this author!

Really fun, a bit more gritty than what I usually prefer, but not too bad. Has no idea who done it, and it kept me listening. Super sad in how it really does mimic the reality of those icky predictors out there.

Kip is a really good maid with a really bad snooping problem. Now she has found something. Something dark. Something evil. Something that connects her to the family she is working with. Something some one might kill for. You know what they say. Curiosity killed the cat. I'm not gonna lie I was lost for a good part of this book but the ending was really good.

[Laurie Sue Dunn · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great story - great book! The twist slowly unfurled without being too “over-the-top”. Truly one of the best books I’ve read/listened in a very long time!

[Eedge Eeva · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved it so much! It was confusing at the beginning, I struggled to picture who is who and why they are there but once I picked up what was happening it went so smoothly! The final twists just blew my head off! And I so much enjoyed the ending! It's a fantastic thriller with fast paced actions and good twists!

[Eve Gilliam · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Um, I need to talk to someone about this book!!!!! Whoa so good!

[Annis Rowan · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The novel was fantastic, deserving of all the compliments it has received. The narration was uneven, especially when the narrator attempted (and failed) foreign accents - of which there are many in this book.

[Kathy Pennington · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The writing was fair. Narration was fair. #Toomanyhashtags! Not recommending.

[mehgannblaise · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

[Cathryn Harris · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Loved every minute of this twist and turn story. White continues to be one of my favs!

[Ray Mo · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is overall a really great book. Very well written. I was so confused in the beginning and that’s why I gave it 4/5

[Liisa Liisa · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Not graphically violent, like some of her other books. More of a psychological thriller, but common enough that you can listen to it as your drifting off to sleep. Well done!

[Lara Pretorius · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great book! I loved how it was told by multiple people and I also loved the revenge. The story was well written with great characters! The narrator was amazing! I highly recommend a listen!

[Yvette Bonett · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Absolutely brilliant! Constant edge of your seat back & forth timelines & unfolding scenes, which all finally come together. There are a few tell tale signs but you still can't figure out how & what happened until all is revealed! Towards the end I kept thinking that a crucial part was still unclear, but I wasn't dissapointed! My thirst was quenched with a top notch ending. Brilliant author and excellent narrator!

Good, twisty turns. I didn’t have it figured out even when I thought I did!

Wow. This was good. Started and finished it all in a day.

[Glenda Groce Daniels · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

A million characters. All boring. Kept trying, but ultimately, didn't finish. Just not worth wading through.
