The Housemaid Is Watching
“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?

I want this series to continue!!!!!
Finished the third and final book in The Housemaid series and I am so sad!!! I want this series to continue! One of McFadden’s characters in this book mentions that the “third book in a series is usually not that good”, but I beg to seriously differ and say, this was a very gripping read as well! It may have taken me sometime to get into the story early on but after a few chapters, I was glued to the book once again! There were multiple twists in this one and I loved every single one of them!

really good!
I loved the housemaid series. While this book took a little longer for the twists and turns – I did enjoy it! The story line is good and I never felt like something was missed!

The third in a series…
SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEWIf you make it that far in the book, that seems to be some foreshadowing that this one is not on par with the rest of the series or McFadden’s other books. I usually enjoy her books as a fast, entertaining read with 2 (or more!) sides to every story and an interesting twist at the end that at least I don’t often see coming. This book was slower getting started and never really gained speed. There was a LOT left unexplained and at the end, even the plot twist was a big “ummm, what??” moment.So we are to believe Nico was horribly traumatized because he had to play with toys in a room? So traumatized that he started beating up other kids, flushing pet insects, not eating and acting up? I thought maybe this was not so stated pedophelia but TBH, the vagueness took away from the credibility. And he’s so traumatized that his sister felt compelled to stab the person doing this? And then other references (ok, maybe 2) to what a horrible person Jonathan was but no previous evidence? The no details about the other kid who went missing 3 years ago but nothing until all of a sudden there’s a boy in the neighborhood? The weird Martha stuff all throughout… The weird 11 year old boys stuff in Ada’s part? There really were far too many odd little tangents that didn’t line up, make sense, or get resolved.I dunno, this one just didn’t work for me. I finished it but it all left me scratching my head because it just didn’t make much sense.

Satisfying conclusion
Review of The Housemaid is Watching by Freida McFadden:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️How many dark and twisted people can one person meet in a lifetime?! Poor Millie just can’t catch a break – every corner she turns, there’s another secret, another manipulative mind, another moral mess.Just as I was starting to get a little tired of Millie’s choices, Freida McFadden pulled me right back in with the introduction of Ada and Nico. I loved the addition of the kids and how their presence gave the story a fresh, eerie edge that tied perfectly into the series.Like the first two books, this one is fast-paced and full of red herrings that kept me flipping pages long past bedtime. Every time I thought I had things figured out, I was proven wrong – though I did call the ending early on (and still enjoyed watching it all unfold).So many morally gray characters, so much tension, and a finale that truly wraps up the chaos in classic McFadden style. What a twisted, satisfying conclusion to an addictive series!

Great series of books. Ending is always a twist! Suspenseful and you can’t put it down until you finish. I read the whole series in a week.

Twists and Turns
I was surprised yet again by this story of the Housemaid. Without giving anything away I’m just saying communication is key.I do like the characters in this series. Millie and Enzo are strong characters that play of each other well. They are a couple that makes the story better.I do recommend this series.

読みやすくて面白い小説。英語の表現も平易、スラスラと読めます。人間心理については、国が違っても共通な部分を感じます。
