The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins follows Jane, a broke dog-walker for the rich and wealthy in Thornfield Estates. It's a well-paid gig with even better perks, like getting away with swiping high-priced jewellery off bedside tables. Things quickly change when she starts to fall head over heels in love with one of the residents, Eddie Rochester, who may just be holding on to a few secrets of his own.
