Franziska Oswald leaves her home, takes the train to Berlin, leaving behind a promising career as a young academic and a single-family home in a pretty settlement in Münsterland, where she lived with her partner Johannes. In Berlin she hides in a dark, neglected hovel on the ground floor in the backyard. She signed the lease under a false name. Nobody knows where she is because something terrible happened at home. She wanders aimlessly through the city, meets Henny Mangold, who offers her a cleaning job. A cleaning job is the last thing Franziska wants, but she agrees.

Reviews
"Das ist ganz großes Suspense-Handwerk, von diabolischer Konsequenz ... Die Putzhilfe ist nach Schleierwolken das nächste Meisterwerk von Regina Nössler." (Thomas Wörtche, Culturmag, Bloody Chops, November 2019)
„‚Die Putzhilfe‘ ist das unheimlichste Buch des Jahres. Dem Alltag traut man hinterher nicht mehr über den Weg.“ (Elmar Krekeler, Die Welt, 12.12.19, 40 Bücher des Jahres, empfohlen von WELT-Redakteuren)
„… Die Dynamik kommt aus den Beziehungen zwischen den drei Frauen. Und das Unheil lauert auf jeder Seite, was den Roman vom Anfang bis zum Ende immer spannend und irgendwie bedrohlich hält. Das ist ganz grosse Erzählkunst, wie man ihr – zumal im deutschen Sprachraum – leider nicht oft begegnet.“ (Hans-Peter Eggenberger, Tagesanzeiger, Basler Zeitung, 21.11.2019)
Author Biography
Regina Nössler grew up in Frankfurt and in the Ruhr area, studied German, theatre, film and television studies and lives as a freelance author and editor in Berlin. Awards including the German Crime Prize, Stuttgart Crime Prize. In her novels and thrillers she deals with the paradoxes of everyday human life and socio-political issues from the perspective of individuals. In her thrillers, it is not the investigators that are the focus; sometimes they hardly show up at all. She writes ‚standalones‘: Every thriller has different characters, a different theme, always close to social reality.
