But what seemed like a perfect, uneventful family turns out to be hiding dark secrets.

According to the LivresHebdo site (site dedicated to publishing professionals), which recently published its annual ranking of the best-selling books of 2024, it is the book of Freida McFadden in pocket version (J’ai Lu editions) which wins first place in the ranking. It is also classified #1 in sales on Amazon and rated 4.5/5 with 10,742 reviews posted by readers.

The incredible success of the Freida McFadden saga

Faced with the success of the first opus, which continues to be a hit – as indicated by the ranking of best book sales of 2024 – the rest of the saga was published quickly. Secrets of the housekeeper was therefore released in October 2023, followed a year later by The Maid Sees Everything. The recent release of the latter suggests a success at least as significant as those of its two predecessors. Secrets of the Housekeeperagain in paperback version, is also placed in 13th place of the 50 best-selling books according to LivresHebdo.

In the Top 3 best-selling books of 2024there are two works which have also received much praise: the pocket version of The Midwife of Auschwitz d’Anna Stuart et A wild animal of Joel Dicker (Rosie & Wolfe).
