The Housemaid's Wedding: A Short Story
The day has finally arrived. She's marrying the man she loves, a judge is waiting, and the vows are almost within reach. For all its small imperfections, this wedding day feels like everything she once hoped it would be. There's just one snag: somebody wants her dead before she can say 'I do', and they're not inclined to wait around. This short story from Freida McFadden is a winter-tinged bridging piece sitting between the second Housemaid novel (The Housemaid's Secret) and the third (The Housemaid is Watching). It's written to slot neatly into either position, making it a handy read whether you're mid-series or looking back after finishing Book 3. Brief but tightly wound, it delivers the kind of creeping dread McFadden's fans will recognise immediately. It's not a standalone thriller so much as a gift to loyal readers, a chance to spend a little more time with characters they already care about, wrapped up in a suitably frosty seasonal atmosphere. If you've been following the series, it's well worth the hour or so it takes to read.
