ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Reader s Digest
In the end, I have only myself to blame. I m the one who let her in.
Jodi Bishop knows success. She s the breadwinner, a top-notch real estate agent. Her husband, Harrison . . . not so much. Once, he had big dreams. But now, he s a middling writer who resents his wife s success.
Jodi s father, Vic, now in his late seventies and retired, is a very controlling man. His wife, Audrey, was herself no shrinking violet. But things changed when Audrey developed Parkinson s ten years ago and Vic retired to devote himself to her care. But while still reasonably spry and rakishly handsome, Vic is worn down by his wife s deteriorating condition.
Exhausted from trying to balance her career, her family, and her parents needs, Jodi starts interviewing housekeepers to help care for Audrey and Vic. She settles on Elyse Woodley, an energetic and attractive widow in her early sixties, who seems perfect for the job. While Vic is initially resistant, he soon warms to Elyse s sunny personality and engaging ways.
And Jodi is pleased to have an ally, someone she can talk to and occasionally even confide in. Until . . .
She shuts Jodi out. And Audrey s condition worsens rapidly. Who is this woman suddenly wearing her mother s jewelry? What is she after? And how far will she go to get it?

Praise for The Housekeeper
Unexpected plot turns, crisp dialogue and an (at last) emboldened heroine enhance the appeal of this well-crafted domestic suspense thriller. The Wall Street Journal
Joy Fielding [is] Canada s answer to the late, great Mary Higgins Clark. . . . I admire Fielding s ability to write relentlessly paced novels. . . . I never put The Housekeeper down I read it in a single sitting. Sarah Weinman, The New York Times Book Review
Jodi is a very likable and relatable character, and the novel delivers on its promise to wrap things up satisfactorily, but not without many juicy twists along the way. Bookreporter
Engrossing . . . Well-wrought characters carry the story. This insightful exploration of the complexities of caring for aging relatives deserves a wide readership. Publishers Weekly
An exciting roller-coaster ride of family dysfunction, marital dynamics, and gaslighting . . . Fielding s novel is gripping from the beginning, and Jodi is a fleshed-out, relatable protagonist. The plot builds to a nail-biting climax. . . . Recommended for fans of women-led suspense novels such as Mary Kubica s The Other Mrs. and Ruth Ware s The Lying Game. Library Journal
