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. Review: Another Addictive Thriller With Great Twists - If you enjoy psychological thrillers that keep you guessing, this book is definitely worth reading. The story pulled me in quickly and had a lot of suspenseful moments that made it hard to stop reading. I kept wanting to know what would happen next, and there were several twists throughout that kept things interesting. The pacing moved quickly and the shorter chapters made it really easy to fly through. It had that “just one more chapter” feeling the whole time. Fans of mystery, secrets, and dramatic thrillers will probably really enjoy this one. Overall, a gripping and entertaining read that kept my attention from start to finish. Review: Now It Makes Sense - Ive read all 3 "Housemaids" books by Freida McFadden now. This one dragged a little compared to the other two, but was still a worthy suspenseful book. I enjoy her style of writing. Shorter chapters with a plot that makes you want to read just another chapter. Plenty of plot twists as in all her books. This latest of them brought the story full circle. I do recommend it.

So long waiting for something to happen!
The whole story took so long to unravel and from all the 3 books, this one is definitely the mild one. Worth to read so you have an idea how Millie is in life, but that is abt it.

Millie all grown up
The Housemaid is Watching jumps time to when Millie is in her forties, has her life together, and moves to an idyllic cul-de-sac, which is when everything goes wrong. It was interesting watching all the events unfold and some sinister secrets were harder than others to accept. The book/series is mostly wrapped up though there were little things I would have appreciated more resolution. I didn't identify the murderer, but if I'd thought harder about it, it would have been obvious. Overall, I enjoyed the series and read the books back-to-back.

Fun casual read
I've been going through all the Frieda McFadden books over the past 6 months. The Housemaid series is definitely her best work. I'm not surprised she got a movie deal. I'm not good at writing book reviews but all her books are good. They're not long, use simple language, no explicit sexual narrative, quick and easy to read. There's a lot of talk in all her books about weight, body sizes, etc. and I am not a fan of that I find it triggering. A lot of oggling at the men. All of her books she has to mention so and so is scarfing food down, she's fat and needs to get her roots touched up. That's the common theme honestly. It's fun to try to figure out the twists and then most of the time it ends up being the most random ridiculous thing. Makes me laugh. I am getting better at figuring them out though.

Best One Yet!
This was in definite Freida McFadden fashion and twist after twist! This time, I thought I had it figured out! Nope. I actually think this was the best of the three. I got a little bored with the thoughts of infidelity, and I think she needs to work on her repetition of plot lines, but it definitely moved faster and was surprising. You could even read this out of order. Great read.

La chiusura perfetta della saga
Che dire? Assolutamente eccezionale. L’autrice ha saputo chiudere la saga con dei colpi di scena inaspettati! Ho letteralmente divorato l’ultimo volume in soli due giorni, e ora me ne pento perché so che non leggerò più di Millie. Ho amato come la trama dell’ultimo libro si incastra perfettamente con i precedenti. Cinque stelle meritatissime.
