She came to scrub the skirting boards. She stayed to survive the crossfire.

A hilarious, unhinged parody of Freida McFadden's bestselling thriller from the author of the Love Island parodies!

Roxy Rust has a fresh criminal record, forty-two pence to her name, and a hairstyle best described as an electrocuted badger. Desperate for a roof over her head, she takes a live-in maid position at The Manor House in Chipping Snodsbury, a Cotswold estate so aggressively posh that even the pigeons look aristocratic.

At first, Roxy's biggest worries are surviving her attic room with its outside deadbolt, managing her employer's panic attacks over unevenly toasted sourdough, and resisting the brooding, chest-baring hedge-fund manager, Alistair Winchester. But when she uncovers a bloody uniform in the Aga and a bespoke meat cleaver in the basement, she realises the Winchesters are hiding something far darker than a dysfunctional marriage.

Plunged into a wild web of international Brie-laundering, counterfeit garden gnomes, and a rogue maid with a stolen identity, Roxy must use her unique criminal ingenuity to stay alive. Escaping rocket-launcher attacks in a three-wheeled yellow car is one thing, but surviving the ultimate family secret will change her life forever.

Wicked, uninhibited, and completely unhinged, this is the ultimate satirical thriller for anyone who likes their romance torrid and their plot twists utterly ridiculous.
