The Cleaner

One of the estate's residents has ruined her life—and she's come for revenge—in a twisty psychological thriller that reveals the danger of underestimating the seemingly powerless.

Esmie Lorenzo is meant to be invisible. A maid on the grounds of one of Ireland’s most exclusive estates, she slips in and out of kitchens and closets, quietly observing her clients’ domestic lives. Seen merely as a humble immigrant by her entitled employers, she fades into the background, her discretion taken for granted as they give her unfettered access to their home.

This is exactly what she wants. Because Esmie is not a cleaner. She’s come to Ireland to get revenge.

Back home, Esmie, her best friend, and her brother, Nico, were an unbreakable trio. When Nico, a bright star with a brilliant future, returns from medical school in Ireland in a coma induced by illegal prescription drugs, Esmie takes it upon herself to find out what happened to him and—more important—who is responsible, whether it be a lowly campus dealer or a resident of the homes she tends to.

Armed with a cunning plan to infiltrate the wealthy family who hosted Nico, she peels back the layers of their lives, exposing the secrets and dysfunction hiding beneath their considerable wealth and power. But Esmie has secrets of her own—and if they come to light before she avenges her brother, her cover will be blown.

Exploring themes of obsession, identity, and privilege, The Cleaner exposes the dark underbelly of high society and the hidden truths that lurk behind the wealthy and the powerful.
