When it comes to thriller authors, there is one fans adore reading for her iconic twists and turns. Freida McFadden, who recently shared her real name, has gone from self-published to published, and readers cannot get enough. With the success of The Housemaid, it was turned into an epic thriller starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried in 2025, but it’s the novel that drew people in first.
Spotify released its list of most-streamed audiobooks of all time. Granted, the addition of audiobooks on the music streaming platform is relatively new, considering Spotify itself has turned 20, but it doesn’t negate that Premium users have adored the ability to listen to audiobooks easily, and McFadden is on the list.
While there’s no doubt that fantasy and romantasy are among the most popular on Spotify, The Housemaid by McFadden sits in a respectable ninth position out of the 20 on the list. It is the highest ranking thriller book on the list, with another of her books, The Boyfriend, also on the list in 18th place.
It’s not surprising that this novel ended up becoming one of the most streamed in 2025. The movie was released at the end of the year, with plenty of hype surrounding it in the run-up. This was one of those twisty thrillers that leaves you guessing until the end, especially as you learn the truth of Nina Winchester’s actions.
The Housemaid is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 73% critic score. The audience was even more impressed, rating it 93%.
‘The Housemaid’ Makes You Question the Charming Guy
This was arguably the novel that put McFadden on the map. Sure, she had some excellent hits before that as a self-published author, but it was The Housemaid that made people sit up and listen. It’s her first to be made into a movie, with the sequel also getting the movie treatment. McFadden’s upcoming novel, The Divorce, is also going to be turned into a movie.
Throughout the thriller, we’re left wondering what is going on with Nina Winchester. Sweeney’s Milly Calloway gets a second chance in life when she lands the job as the live-in housemaid at the Winchester house. Everything seems to be perfect, but then things with Nina change, as she starts accusing Milly of breaking things, messing up dates, and more.
