The Maid

By Jaqueline Alves Souza

A perfect house. A respectable family. A secret buried in the shadows. When Isabella accepts a job as a maid in an isolated mansion in the Scottish hills, she believes she has found the ideal job. The couple who hire her seem elegant, educated, and extremely wealthy. They claim to live off inheritances and successful investments, and the property where they live seems straight out of a fairy tale of luxury and tranquility. But something in that house is not right. The couple's children don't speak. They sleep in a cold, cramped attic. And they live in terror. The residents of the small village comment that many visitors spend a few days in that mansion. People from different countries, business people, wealthy families, and curious travelers. They all arrive smiling, carrying suitcases and stories. But strangely, no one ever talks about them again after they leave. The more Isabella observes that family, the more she realizes that something is deeply wrong. Looks of fear. Violent arguments. Secrets hidden behind locked doors. Until the day she finds a hidden path near the barn. A trapdoor. A staircase that descends into darkness. And a discovery that reveals an unimaginable horror. Now Isabella must make an impossible decision: flee and save her own life, or remain in that house to try to save two children who live trapped in a nightmare. But some secrets have been buried for a long time. And those who try to uncover them rarely manage to get out alive. An intense psychological thriller, full of suspense, mystery and disturbing twists that will keep the reader hooked until the last page.
