The Housemaid Is Watching: From the Sunday Times Bestselling Author of the Housemaid

By Freida McFadden

Book Overview

“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?

A Must Read!!!

Just like the first two housemaid books, this book has a HUGE TWIST!! It’s deff a MUST READ !!

Wow! What a finale!

2/28/26 - 3/3/26 The Housemaid Is Watching by Freida McFadden The final book in the series and what a final! At first I felt the book was dragging and way too long. Some repetition and some obvious plotting- boy was I ever wrong! I did not see that ending at all! But then I wasn’t looking for it I guess! I have to hand it to Freida she knows how to pull a surprisingly big bang out of nowhere when you most likely expect it. Well worth reading the series and seeing it to the finale! I don’t want to say more and spoil it!

Fantastic

This book is very good, a thriller for sure. It will keep you guessing until the end. I was sure I knew who did it. But I was wrong. I have not read the others in this series, but I will look for more books by Freida McFadden. She certainly is a very good writer. I loved this book.
