Ingen ved, at hendes far var en berygtet seriemorder. Og sådan vil hun gerne have, at det bliver ved med at være. Men så opdager Nora, at en af hendes unge kvindelige patienter er blevet myrdet. På præcis samme unikke og forfærdelige måde, som hendes far dræbte sine ofre. Nogen ved, hvem Nora er. Nogen arbejder på, at hun skal få skylden for denne frygtelige forbrydelse. Men hun er ikke en morder som sin far. Politiet kan ikke hænge mordet op på hende. Så længe de ikke kigger i hendes kælder. ___ "Forfatteren Freida McFadden gør det ikke let at regne denne spændende thriller ud." – Book Club Reporter "McFadden er hurtigt blevet en af mine yndlingsforfattere, jeg hiver frem, når jeg har brug for en bog, der holder min opmærksomhed og leverer et spændende plot med imponerende plot-twists." – Shannon Hollinger "Historien er godt skrevet og spændingsfyldt og fuld af vendinger og drejninger." – Fresh Fiction "En fars kærlighed er mesterligt skrevet: præcis, gennemtænkt og hæsblæsende" – Cannonball Read "En fars kærlighed af Freida McFadden var en skarp og uforudsigelig psykologisk thriller, der sad lige i skabet." – Digital Reads Media "Dialogen er utrolig velskrevet, og hver karakter har sin egen genkendelige stemme og attitude." – Quick Book Reviews Blog

En fars kærlighed

Millie każdego dnia sprząta piękny dom Winchesterów. Odbiera ich córkę ze szkoły. Gotuje pyszny posiłek dla całej rodziny, zanim uda się na górę, aby zjeść samotnie w moim małym pokoju na poddaszu. Stara się ignorować to, jak Nina robi bałagan tylko po to, by patrzeć, jak pomoc domowa musi go posprzątać. Jak opowiada dziwne kłamstwa o własnej córce. I to, że jej mąż Andrew z każdym dniem wydaje się coraz bardziej załamany. Życie Niny jest idealne. Garderoba, wypasiony samochód, idealny mąż. Tylko raz Millie robi coś, aby przekonać się, jak to jest żyć tak, jak jej pracodawczyni. Ale ona wkrótce się o tym dowiaduje. A drzwi pokoju na poddaszu zamykają się tylko od zewnątrz… Uwięziona Millie uspokaja samą siebie: Winchesterowie nie wiedzą, kim naprawdę jest. Nie wiedzą, do czego jest zdolna...

Pomoc domowa

Nowa pomoc domowa w penthousie Douglasa Garricka ma jeden zakaz. Nie może zaglądać do sypialni, w której przebywa obłożnie chora żona pracodawcy. Millie woli dostosować się do tej zasady i nie ryzykować utraty pracy. Ma przecież sekret, który musi zachować. Skupia się na swych zadaniach – sprzątaniu luksusowego apartamentu, gotowaniu wymyślnych posiłków w lśniącej kuchni. W ciszy robi swoje, aż dostanie to, czego chce. Wszystko byłoby idealnie, gdyby nie odgłos płaczu pani Garrick. I fakt, że nikt nigdy jej nie widuje. W przeciwieństwie do śladów krwi na koszulach nocnych, które pomoc domowa znajduje podczas prania. Przejęta Millie w końcu puka do drzwi sypialni. A gdy te lekko się uchylają, widzi coś, co odmienia wszystko. Kobieta wie, co robić – nie będzie to przecież jej pierwszy raz. Ochroni panią Garrick i swój własny sekret. Douglas Garrick postąpił źle i zapłaci za to. Wszystko jest kwestią tego, jak daleko posunie się pomoc domowa. Poleca: Freida McFadden potrafi robić z czytelnikiem coś absolutnie niezwykłego – zapiera dech w piersiach, szalenie mąci w głowach i zawsze zaskakuje na sam koniec. Ale nie tylko fabularnie, bo również poziomem swojej błyskotliwości i inteligencji. Jest to jedna z najbardziej fascynujących autorek, jakie znam, a jej książki bardzo szybko wskoczyły na listę moich ulubieńców! Zuza Grupa, Zaksiążkowane

Pomoc domowa. Sekret

Niektóre drzwi są zamknięte z jakiegoś powodu... Podczas gdy jedenastoletnia Nora odrabiała lekcje w swoim pokoju, jej ojciec dokonywał w piwnicy koszmarnych zbrodni. Dramat mordowanych kobiet przerwało pojawienie się w domu policji. Mija dwadzieścia sześć lat. On odsiaduje wyrok, ona odnosi sukcesy w chirurgii, prowadząc spokojne, samotne życie pod nowym nazwiskiem. Nikt nie wie, że jest córką seryjnego mordercy. Któregoś dnia lekarka dowiaduje się, że jedna z jej pacjentek została zamordowana. W ten sam charakterystyczny i przerażający sposób, w jaki swoje ofiary zabijał jej ojciec. Ktoś wie, kim jest Nora. Ktoś chce, żeby wzięła na siebie odpowiedzialność za tę niewyobrażalną zbrodnię. Ale ona nie jest morderczynią jak jej ojciec. Policja nie ma dowodów na to, że zrobiła coś złego. Pod warunkiem, że nie zajrzy do jej piwnicy.

Zamknięte drzwi

'Welkom bij de familie,' zegt Nina Winchester terwijl ik haar elegante, verzorgde hand schud. Ik glimlach beleefd en kijk de marmeren gang rond. Hier werken is mijn laatste kans om opnieuw te beginnen. Maar ik zal snel ontdekken dat de geheimen van de Winchesters veel gevaarlijker zijn dan de mijne... Elke dag maak ik het prachtige huis van de Winchesters van top tot teen schoon. Ik haal hun dochter op van school. En ik kook een heerlijke maaltijd voor het hele gezin voordat ik alleen ga eten in mijn kleine kamer op de bovenste verdieping. Ik probeer te negeren hoe Nina er een zooitje van maakt, alleen maar om te zien hoe ik het opruim. Hoe ze vreemde leugens vertelt over haar eigen dochter. En hoe haar man Andrew elke dag meer gebroken lijkt. Maar als ik in Andrews knappe bruine ogen kijk, zo vol pijn, is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe het zou zijn om Nina's leven te leiden. De inloopkast, de luxe auto, de perfecte echtgenoot. Ik pas een van Nina's smetteloze witte jurken maar één keer. Gewoon om te zien hoe het is. Maar ze komt er al snel achter... en tegen de tijd dat ik besef dat mijn slaapkamerdeur op zolder alleen van buitenaf op slot kan, is het veel te laat. Maar ik stel mezelf gerust: de Winchesters weten niet wie ik werkelijk ben. Ze weten niet waartoe ik in staat ben...

‘Kom niet in de logeerkamer.’ Er valt een schaduw op het gezicht van Douglas Garrick als hij met zijn vingertoppen de deur aanraakt. ‘Mijn vrouw… Ze is erg ziek.’ Terwijl hij me hun ongelooflijke penthouse laat zien, heb ik een vreselijk gevoel over de vrouw achter gesloten deuren. Maar ik kan niet het risico lopen deze baan te verliezen – niet als ik mijn donkerste geheim veilig wil houden… Het is moeilijk een werkgever te vinden die niet te veel vragen stelt over mijn verleden. Dus ik ben dankbaar dat de Garricks me op wonderbaarlijke wijze een baan hebben gegeven. Het is bijna perfect. Bíjna, want ik heb mevrouw Garrick nog steeds niet ontmoet. Ik weet zeker dat ik haar hoor huilen vanuit de logeerkamer. Als ik de was aan het doen ben, zie ik bloedvlekken rond de hals van haar witte nachthemden. En op een dag kan ik niet anders dan op de deur kloppen. Als die zachtjes openzwaait, verandert wat ik daarbinnen zie alles…

Wat de hulp weet

Gennem nøglehullet ser hun alt “Velkommen til familien,” siger Nina Winchester og rækker en elegant, perfekt plejet hånd frem mod mig. Jeg smiler høfligt, mens jeg ser mig omkring fra midt på marmorgulvet i entréen. Det her job er min sidste chance for at få en frisk start. Jeg kan være lige, hvem jeg vil. Men snart går det op for mig, at Winchester-familiens hemmeligheder er langt farligere end mine egne … Hver dag gør jeg rent i det smukke Winchester-hjem, fra gulv til loft. Jeg henter familiens datter fra skole. Og jeg forbereder et lækkert aftensmåltid for hele familien, før jeg går op på mit lillebitte kammer på øverste etage for at spise for mig selv. Jeg prøver at ignorere, at Nina roder, bare for bagefter at kunne nyde at se mig rydde op efter sig. At hun fortæller mærkelige løgnehistorier om sin egen datter. Eller at Andrew, hendes mand, ser mere og mere nedslidt ud for hver dag, der går. Men når jeg ser ind i Andrews flotte brune øjne, som er så fulde af smerte, så er det svært ikke at forestille sig, hvordan det ville være at leve Ninas liv – med walk-in-klædeskabet, den smarte bil og den perfekte mand. Kun én gang prøver jeg en af Ninas sarte, hvide kjoler. Bare for at mærke, hvordan den føles. Men det finder hun snart ud af … og da det går op for mig, at døren til mit loftsværelse kun kan låses udefra, er det allerede for sent. Én ting kan jeg dog trøste mig med; Winchester-familien ved ikke, hvem jeg i virkeligheden er. De ved ikke, hvad jeg er i stand til … --- Forfatteren Freida McFadden har ligget nummer et på bestsellerlisterne hos New York Times, USA Today og Amazon.

Nella casa dei segreti

Första boken i den internationella succéserien - över 1,8 miljoner sålda exemplar »Det finns bladvändare och så finns det BLADVÄNDARE. Hembiträdet var så spännande att jag tog ledigt från jobbet.« Sofie Sarenbrant »Hembiträdet är en fullträff.« Sandras bokinspo »En psykologisk thriller när den är som allra bäst.« I min bokhylla Millie har avtjänat ett tioårigt fängelsestraff och bor i sin bil när hon får jobb som hembiträde hos den förmögna familjen Winchester: mamma Nina, pappa Andrew och nioåriga dottern Cecelia. Bostad ingår - ett minimalt vindsrum i familjens jättevilla. Millie satsar allt på att sköta jobbet perfekt - hon städar, tvättar, tar hand om parets dotter, lagar fantastiska middagar till familjen och äter själv ensam i vindsrummet. Men snart börjar hon ana att familjen Winchester döljer betydligt mörkare hemligheter än hon själv. Varför beter sig Nina så bisarrt? Och varför går det bara att låsa vindsrummet från utsidan? När Millie faller för frestelsen att försöka ta reda på vad som egentligen pågår i huset tar allt en chockerande vändning. Det visar sig att familjen Winchester spelar ett farligt spel - men de vet inte vad Millie är kapabel till... I översättning av Åsa Brolin. FREIDA MCFADDEN är en bästsäljande amerikansk författare.

Hembiträdet

Du ser hende hver dag, men ved du egentlig, hvem hun er? To kvinder. Et kontor fuld af hemmeligheder. En frygtelig forbrydelse, der aldrig vil kunne tilgives. Dawn Schiff er mærkelig. Det synes alle i hvert fald i kosttilskudsvirksomheden Vixed, hvor Dawn arbejder som bogholder. Hun siger altid noget forkert. Hun har ikke nogen venner. Og hun sidder altid på sin pind præcis klokken 8.45 hver morgen. Så da Dawn en morgen ikke møder på arbejde, kommer det som en overraskelse for hendes kollega Natalie Farrell, der er smuk og populær og virksomhedens topsælger igennem fem år. Så får hun en meget foruroligende anonym opringning, der ændrer alt … Det viser sig, at Dawn ikke bare var en særling, der holdt sig for sig selv – nogen var ude efter hende. Og pludselig er Natalies skæbne uløseligt knyttet til Dawns, da hun bliver viklet ind i et sygt spil som kattens leg med musen og må spørge sig selv: Hvem er egentlig offeret her? Men én ting står utroligt klart: Nogen hadede Dawn Schiff. Nok til at dræbe. --- ”Lad være med at begynde på en Freida McFadden-bog sent om aftenen. Du vil ikke kunne lægge den fra dig!” – Natalie Barelli ”Freida McFadden er meget hurtigt på vej til at blive min yndlingsforfatter. Det her er min fjerde bog af forfatteren, og jeg har elsket hver eneste af dem ...” 5/5 – Kristen’s Book Korner ”Kollegaen er en isnende, psykologisk spændingsroman fuld af forviklinger og fortalt af to ekstremt utroværdige fortællere, som gør det nær ved umuligt at nå frem til, hvem den egentlige skurk er.” - Crossmyheartbookreviews “Jeg elsker Freida McFaddens måde at skrive på; hun får mig altid til at blive ved med at gætte på, hvad der kommer til at ske. Og hendes seneste bog, Kollegaen, er ingen undtagelse. Kollegaen var fuld af så mange overraskelser. Netop når jeg troede, at jeg vidste, hvad der var på færde, skete der noget uventet, som pegede mig i en ny retning. Jeg tabte underkæben så mange gange og sad bare og måbede. Hvis du er på udkig efter en overraskende psykologisk spændingsroman, så anbefaler jeg bestemt Freida McFadden’s Kollegaen.” – The Bookish Libra ”Jeg blev oppe til klokken et om natten for at læse den her færdig, for jeg kunne ikke lægge den fra mig. Freida har bare en måde at fange én på, og jeg elskede hvert minut.” @mamaisallbooked

Hun gav dig et liv. Nu vil hun have dit. Abby ønsker sig en baby mere end noget andet.

Rugemoren

Regler er til for at blive brudt men ikke uden konsekvenser ... Der er tre regler, Brooke Sullivan skal følge som ny sygeplejerske i et topsikret fængsel for mænd: 1) Behandl alle fanger med respekt. 2) Afslør aldrig nogen personlige oplysninger. 3) Vær aldrig NOGENSINDE for venlige over for de indsatte. Men ingen af de ansatte i fængslet ved, at Brooke allerede har brudt reglerne. Ingen kender til hendes tætte relation til Shane Nelson, en af fængslets mest berygtede og farlige indsatte. Og de ved bestemt ikke, at Shane var Brookes kæreste i gymnasiet – den populære quarterback, som nu tilbringer resten af sit liv i fængsel for en række grusomme mord. Eller at det var Brookes vidneudsagn, der fik ham sat bag tremmer. Men Shane ved det. Og han glemmer det aldrig. --- "Indespærret var fuld af forviklinger, der gjorde, at jeg helt til det sidste ikke kunne gætte, hvad der nu skulle til at ske. Og sikke en slutning det var!" – The Bookish Libra "Det, der virker som et simpelt mysterium, tager dig med på en vild tur fyldt med bedrag, ulykkelig kærlighed og familieløgne, som vil få dig til at flyve gennem siderne." – Northshire Bookstore "En meget underholdende og fascinerende thriller!" – Judith D. Collins "... [En] letlæst bog, som vil lade dig genfinde din læseglæde." – Medium "... Indespærret giver en spændende og underholdende læseoplevelse, der viser McFaddens evne til at væve en indviklet og medrivende historie sammen." – Lost in Bookland
