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.

A Riveting Tale of Family Dynamics and Suspense

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2024

Verified Purchase

"The Housemaid is Watching" is a captivating read that kept me hooked from start to finish. The novel intricately explores the complexities and challenges of raising children, weaving in twists and turns that add depth and suspense to the narrative.

One of the standout aspects of this book is its portrayal of the delicate dynamics within a household. The story delves into the nuanced relationships between parents, children, and caregivers, highlighting how communication—or the lack thereof—can significantly impact family life. The author masterfully demonstrates how keen observation and subtle interventions can help manage and guide the behavior of children.

The plot is full of unexpected twists that keep readers on their toes. Just when you think you have everything figured out, another layer of complexity is unveiled, making it difficult to put the book down. The suspense is well-maintained throughout, and each revelation adds to the rich tapestry of the story.

In summary, "The Housemaid is Watching" is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that skillfully addresses the intricacies of child-rearing and family communication. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in psychological thrillers and family dramas. I highly recommend this book for its engaging plot and insightful commentary on family dynamics.

I loooooveeee all Freida McFadden books and this set was no exception!
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.

Not the shocking book I was watching for…

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024

Verified Purchase

As most of you know, this is the third book in the Housemaid series. And unfortunately, it’s my least favorite. Books one and two were highly entertaining and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, but this third book was repetitious and it read very juvenile.

Millie (our favorite former housemaid) is back with her husband Enzo, and their two children. They have an eleven year old daughter, Ada and a nine year old son named, Nico. They have finally moved into their dream house on 14 Locust Street. They then meet their new neighbors, and start to wonder is this really going to be their dream home?

After some not so shocking turn of events and twists in the story, we see Millie’s family start to fall apart. We also learn that moving into this neighborhood that Millie and Enzo could not afford was not at all worth it.

I went into this book with super high expectations, but I feel it just didn’t deliver the entertainment and twists that the previous books did. If there are any more books moving forward in this series, I probably won’t be reading them. I know many others enjoyed this book more than I did, so please read their reviews before deciding on this book.

4.5 stars!!

This is the 3rd book in “The Housemaids” series and can be read as a stand alone. Though I think the first two books were even better!!

I am a huge fan of this author. I was super excited for this book and yes I devoured it. It had a great twist like I knew it would. She leads you one way but it’s never the correct way.

I like Enzo, don’t get me wrong, but in this book he was different. I mean I know he was meant to be but I think I like Millie as sooo bad ass. So weird seeing her as a mom too.

The twist to this book was freaking good. I just think the rest of the story was good not great. The twists are what keeps me coming back!!

Great wrap to the series!

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2024

Verified Purchase

Terrific ending to a fabulous series! Way to call it a wrap Ms. McFadden! In the third and final book to the Housemaid series, Millie is married to handsome landscaper Enzo and together they have two children, Ada and Nico. After moving from their small apartment to a home on Long Island, Millie is sure she has finally achieved everything she wanted. But the neighbors on her cul-de-sac are strange, each in their own way. And the maid that is now cleaning Millie’s house seems peculiar as well. Will life at Number 14 Locust Street be all that she wished for? A quick-paced, thrilling ending to the series that was all the rage. Freida McFadden never disappoints and how she conjures up her book ideas, is a mystery of its own.

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024

I have read all these housemaid books about Millie. I have read online reviews on this book where people said it was awful. I totally disagree. It may not be as wonderful as the first book in the series, which is probably usually the case, but I think it is another good book about Millie. It kept me wandering and wanting to read more. I read this book in three days. A friend of mine read it and loved it as well. I think this book left a lot hanging about many of the characters. I think Freida could write many books on some of these character’s backgrounds. I connect so well with her writing and never get bored. I think it was totally worth the read and I’m praying she writes a book 4 very soon because I will be buying that and reading it as well!! You go, Freida!!!

Twisting Page Turner!

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2024

Verified Purchase

If you have never read any books in this series, you should really begin with the first book and work your way through. You won’t be disappointed!

Although McFadden’s books start out a little slow, it is because she is building the characters and plot for you. Then she hooks you and keeps you on the edge with the twists that keep coming. Her unique style of telling the book from one character then letting you hear the other side is fantastic and adds to the twisty plot. Each book in the series has been this way and the last book sure didn’t disappoint! Just when you think you have it all figured out, there is another twist! I highly recommend this author, series, and book!!

Spoiler free review.

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 😂.

Mejor que el segundo

Reviewed in Spain on June 18, 2024

Mejor que la segunda parte aunque no llega a la fascinación que me produjo el primero pese a estar muy pero que muy bien.
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.
