The Maid's Diary
Synopsis
Kit Darling is the invisible girl: she cleans other people's houses, and while she is in them she goes through their things. Drawers, medicine cabinets, correspondence. She keeps a diary about it. She would tell you it hurts nobody.
Then she takes on a new couple, wealthy and expecting their first child, and finds something in their house that she cannot put back and cannot unsee: a secret substantial enough to take both of them down.
After that, Kit disappears. The last person to see her is the elderly woman next door, who woke in the night to screaming. Loreth Anne White runs the book across Kit's diary, the investigator working the disappearance, and the couple, and the point at which those three accounts stop being compatible is where the novel actually starts.
