Book review, A Look at House Maid

Many things will drop from every book Frieda has read before, but it's still in good shape, and I still like it.

The Housemaid is Watching | A Look at the House Maid

8 Points or ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The story of the same "Milli" is that there is a family, because this is a story that has passed more than ten years from the previous book. Milli and her husband decided to buy a house so that their children could grow up in a nice and safe environment, but where? When the neighbor next door lured her husband all the time, the house opposite acted strangely, constantly watching her family, making Milli think that this might be a big mistake.

The plot / storyline is good, it's fun, it's easy to read, it's easy to understand, what's missing is the excitement. The first half is almost nothing but the story of the Milli family and their neighbors, it's a bit frustrating, and I think it's the end of a hasty house maid. The story in this book is so many years away from the previous book, it's very interesting that the previous story is, but there's a lot to like that: there's still a connection to the previous characters.

The action is not very fast. Chapter 1 or the first half is not very interesting. Read and get bored, but I don't want to paste it because I know that Frieda's work has to have a peak, and it looks like that. Chapter 2 is more interesting. When chapter 3 is very attached, it can't be laid down.

Predicting the content in chapter one is not very difficult, but in the next chapter it is difficult, there is a certain peak or unexpected, which is not that difficult, because it is so fucking free, I think no one can guess. At the end of everything, there is still a reversal, there is a peak, but a reversal, because it does not make much sense.

Overall, it's fun. Chapter 1 isn't very interesting, but the next chapter gradually improves. There's a lot of peak stuff. There's a lot of twists and turns to Frieda, even though she's a little disappointed in the first half, but the second half is definitely what she hopes. Finally, "Frieda's work doesn't miss a book." Every book fits her nickname, "The King of Twists."

... Read moreถ้าคุณกำลังเสิร์ชหา “การเฝ้ามองของเฮาส์เมด” หรืออยากรู้ว่า The Housemaid Is Watching คือแนวไหน อ่านแล้วให้ความรู้สึกยังไง แบบไม่โดนสปอยล์ ฉันสรุปมุมที่ช่วยตัดสินใจก่อนซื้อ/ก่อนอ่านให้ค่ะ เรื่องนี้เป็นเล่มที่พามิลลีกลับมาอีกครั้งในสถานะ “มีครอบครัว” และย้ายเข้าบ้านใหม่ที่ดูเหมือนบ้านในฝัน แต่บรรยากาศกลับค่อย ๆ เปลี่ยนเป็นฝันร้าย เพราะมีทั้งเพื่อนบ้านที่ทำตัวก้าวก่าย ชวนหงุดหงิด และบ้านฝั่งตรงข้ามที่ให้ความรู้สึกเหมือนมี “ดวงตาจ้องมอง” อยู่ตลอดเวลา (ฟีลเดียวกับภาพปกที่เล่นกับสัญลักษณ์กุญแจและการถูกเฝ้ามองมาก ๆ) เลยทำให้โทนเรื่องเป็นระทึกขวัญแบบชีวิตประจำวันค่อย ๆ พัง มากกว่าการไล่ล่าหวือหวาตั้งแต่หน้าแรก ในแง่ “เรื่องย่อ The Housemaid” แบบจับใจความ: เป็นนิยายที่ใช้พล็อตบ้านใหม่-เพื่อนบ้านประหลาด-ความลับในชุมชน แล้วค่อย ๆ เปิดเผยว่าใครกันแน่ที่น่ากลัว และใครกำลังเล่นเกมเฝ้ามองใครอยู่ จุดที่หลายคนควรรู้คือจังหวะเรื่องจะไต่ระดับชัดเจน ช่วงแรกอ่านเหมือนปูความสัมพันธ์และความน่ารำคาญของสถานการณ์ (บางคนอาจรู้สึกเนิบ) แต่พอเข้าโซนครึ่งหลังจะเริ่มมีจุดพีคต่อเนื่อง และมีหักมุมที่ “กลิ่นฟรีดา” มาก ๆ คือทำให้เราย้อนกลับไปคิดว่าเออ…รายละเอียดเล็ก ๆ ก่อนหน้านี้มันมีความหมาย ถ้าถามว่าเหมาะกับใคร: เหมาะกับคนที่ชอบนิยายระทึกขวัญ/ฆาตรกรรมที่อ่านง่าย ภาษาลื่น มีจุดหักมุมเป็นช่วง ๆ และชอบธีมความลับในบ้าน/ละแวกบ้าน โดยเฉพาะคนที่เคยอ่านซีรีส์ The Housemaid มาก่อนจะสนุกกับการเชื่อมโยงบางอย่าง (แต่ถ้าคุณคาดหวังความลุ้นระทึกหนัก ๆ ตั้งแต่บทแรก อาจต้องปรับใจนิดนึง) ทริคส่วนตัวก่อนอ่านให้สนุกขึ้น: อย่ารีบสรุป “ผู้ร้าย” จากบทแรก ๆ เพราะเล่มนี้ตั้งใจหลอกด้วยมุมมองและความรู้สึกไม่สบายใจในชีวิตบ้าน ๆ และถ้าคุณชอบเล่นเดา ให้จดไว้เลยว่า ‘ใครได้ประโยชน์จากการเฝ้ามอง’ กับ ‘กุญแจ/การเข้าถึงพื้นที่ส่วนตัว’ โผล่มาตอนไหนบ้าง—มันช่วยให้ตามทันตอนเฉลยโดยไม่เสียอรรถรส สรุปสั้น ๆ: ถ้ากำลังมองหา housemaid นิยาย ที่เน้นความพีคช่วงหลังและหักมุมสไตล์ Freida McFadden เล่มนี้ยังตอบโจทย์ค่ะ แค่ต้องผ่านช่วงปูเรื่องแรก ๆ ไปให้ได้ แล้วจะเริ่มวางไม่ลงเอง
