The Housekeeper: A Novel by Joy Fielding

I love all Joy Fielding novels! This one was a quick read with some delicious twists, although I wanted to take Jodi and shake her because she was a regular doormat who allowed herself to be emotionally abused by her husband, her father, AND her sister. That went on for far too long! Nevertheless, it was suspenseful, even if you could pretty much figure out how it was going to end - although, there were a couple of surprises thrown in. All in all, a great read!
