Freida McFadden is known for her psychological thrillers, especially her 2022 novel The Housemaid. Her thrillers typically feature female protagonists and begin with a murder, a killer closing in on the narrator, or an arrest. They then go back in time to explain how the event came to transpire. As such, they have been called formulaic. They are also widely known for their twists, in which the heroine often has a dark secret, and the characters turn out to be the opposite of what they are initially made out to be.
