Summary

“You must be our new neighbors!” Mrs. Lowell gushes and waves across the picket fence. I clutch my daughter’s hand and smile back, but the second Mrs. Lowell sees my husband a strange expression crosses her face. In that moment I make a promise. We finally have a family home. My past is far, far behind us. And I’ll do anything to keep it that way…

I used to clean other people’s houses—now, I can’t believe this home is actually mine. The charming kitchen, the quiet cul-de-sac, the huge yard where my kids can play. My husband and I saved for years to give our children the life they deserve.

Even though I’m wary of our new neighbor Mrs. Lowell, when she invites us over for dinner it’s our chance to make friends. Her maid opens the door wearing a white apron, her hair in a tight bun. I know exactly what it’s like to be in her shoes. But her cold stare gives me chills…

The Lowells’ maid isn’t the only strange thing on our street. I’m sure I see a shadowy figure watching us. My husband leaves the house late at night. And when I meet a woman who lives across the way, her words chill me to the bone: Be careful of your neighbors.

Did I make a terrible mistake moving my family here?

I thought I’d left my darkest secrets behind. But could this quiet suburban street be the most dangerous place of all?

From New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Freida McFadden comes the next installment of the unbelievably twisty, tension-packed and globally bestselling Housemaid series. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone listen: and once you start, it will have you up all night until the final explosive twist.

The housemaid is watching

The Housemaid is watching takes place quite a number of years after the second book The Housemaids secret. I’m not going to say too much about the actual book as I don’t want to give away any spoilers. I found the first half of this book a bit of a slow burn if I’m being honest. But it didn’t bother my in the slightest as having read all of Frieda McFaddens books I just knew she would have a number of twists thrown in. And boy I sure wasn’t wrong. The second half of the book had me feeling at times that I was on a roller coaster with all the twists and turns. The characters are all excellent and as with all her previous books I am recommending this one to everyone who loves a good psychological thriller. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic book again

Even though they’re a tad predictable (and have you shouting at the end when they’re not getting the result right…) I love these books because they’re so easy to read or listen to. They’ve been great for a long drive for work or if I’m studying. I’ll definitely be getting more of them.

Good

I liked all the twists but there was things that wasn't unanswered (I won't write spoliers) but over all I thought it was really good.

I love this book. There is so much detail throighout that you remember later on. So cleverly written. Look forward to the next instalment. Hopefully there is one.

😮😮😮😮

I couldn’t wait for the release of this book and it did not disappoint! It is, however, a very different feel to the other books in the series but does tie up some loose ends nicely. My face looked like 😮 throughout most of the book lol.

Not a complete thriller

The book was not as good as the first two in my opinion. I couldn’t take to the characters too much and didn’t feel the story had as much depth as the first two books.
Overall it’s a must listen if you have read the first two titles in this book
