The Housemaid Is Watching Paperback – June 11, 2024
Purchase options and add-ons
A twisting, pulse-pounding thriller from Freida McFadden, the New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid and The Coworker
"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 read: and once you start, it will have you up all night racing through the pages until the final explosive twist.

However give this book 3 stars because while the plot is intriguing and the characters are well-developed, I loved seeing what life married to Enzo is like but I found some parts of the story to be predictable and the pacing a bit slow at times. It felt like in some areas it dragged and I was anticipating a "The Shock"
However, Freida's writing style is soooooo engaging and the suspense the second guesses maintained throughout the book! This is by far a decent read for fans that love mystery and suspense.
It did take much longer to finish this book than the first and second one.
Overall it was a good story and twist. Just took a while to get going.
📱 Ebook: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVED it!!!
🎧 Audiobook: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Narrated by Lauryn Allman, Ina Marie Smith
Fantastic narration! The story was told in an enjoyable manner.
The Housemaid is Watching is the last book in the Housemaid trilogy that continues Millie's story. They move their family to a dream house they buy on Long Island. However, it doesn't turn out to be so dreamy once they learn about their creepy neighbors.
✴️ What I liked:
~ "By the end of this night, if I have not stabbed Suzette with one of these forks, it will only be because I'm not sure which one to use to do it." Haha the sass, the characters, what's not to love? 😅
~ Freida has done it again!!! Just when you think you know what's happening, well, just kidding, then there's an unexpected twist. 🤣
~ THE EPILOGUE!!! 👀 Another twist I did not see coming! 😱 I loved the ending!
✴️ What didn't work for me:
~ Some of the beginning was a little slower paced.
✴️ Final thoughts:
The Housemaid is Watching is the most anticipated book I've read so far! I absolutely LOVED The Housemaid, but this one has definitely become my second favorite in the series.
All three Housemaid books have really resonated with me as a DV/SA survivor advocate. Some of the material can be a bit triggering at times, but they are all so empowering! Millie is a bad ass and I love every moment in her world. Thank you Freida for writing this series! 💜💙
I think that this third book in the Housemaid series wonderfully concludes Millie’s story. The way that the story is woven together and ties together all three books is masterful. I always enjoy when series interweave like that.
I would say, although this is a mystery, thriller, suspense genre, I found myself nailing the end of the book. I don’t know what that says about me or the book or that maybe I’m too much of a true crime junkie. Either way, the ending was very much justified.
This series is my first introduction to Freida McFadden, but it’s really gotten me hooked and eager to read more of her work.
I’d like to consider myself another version of Ada, although I think she’s braver than I could ever be.
If you are on the fence about checking out this series, but you are a fan of mystery thrillers and suspense, I highly highly recommend. I wasn’t disappointed by the hype these and other McFadden’s works have gotten over social media.
The praise has definitely been earned.
Enjoy Readers :)
Ps. I would check your possible trigger warnings. There isn’t anything explicitly written about but definitely alluded to. I should also add, that although there are slight triggers, there aren’t very many and they are brief.

Muito interessante e com um final surpreendente!
Adorei!!!
Super recomendo pra quem gosta de suspense!
WOW! just WOW!!
From the beginning I was extremely surprised and did not expect what we were introduced to, but I was extremely happy with it as well.
It was absolutely brilliant trying to figure out what Millie was going to end up involved with this time round as she always finds herself in situations like the first two books, but I was surprised by this one.
The whole book was brilliant, kept me guessing which is what I liked about the first two, but the introduction of a few new characters was good as well, but I was really surprised by the return of some old characters as well, even the mention of old characters was perfect.
From chapter 58 onwards I was shocked to be honest, and the last chapter (epilogue) definitely surprised me, but it was written amazingly and I was drawn in even more than I was with the rest of the book.
I really shouldn't be surprised anymore with one of @fmcfaddenauthor books, but I was genuinely surprised and shocked with this one, but I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it 😊.
If you have read the first two books and haven't got this yet, you definitely need to get it, or maybe sweet talk a family member or friend in to getting you a copy 😂.

Han pasado unos cuantos años desde la última vez que coincidimos con Millie. Ahora es la señora Accardi y tiene dos hijos con Enzo: Ada de 11 años y Nico de 9.
La mudanza a una nueva casa en Long Island removerá el barrio y la existencia de la familia: mentiras, secretos, un asesinato... y tener que esperar al epílogo para tener la última pieza del puzle.
Ha conseguido engancharme, mantenerme en tensión y con la cabeza llena de dudas en todo momento.
