Publisher's summary

“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 listen: and once you start, it will have you up all night until the final explosive twist.

Another banger from Freida!!

I think out of all of the Frieda McFadden books I’ve read there has only been 1 or two that I didn’t like. I love her books and how detailed and great they are. The story lines and the twists are always the ones that keep you on the edge of your seat and have you guessing the whole time you’re reading and this book was no exception. One minute I’m thinking one thing and then the next minute something completely different. Another great book from Freida!!!

Freida McFadden never disappoints!

Freida McFadden never disappoints! At times I wonder if book 3 of a series could be as good as the first one but with this author it always is! I’ve enjoyed all of her books and I was so glad she wrote more on Miley. I also have really enjoyed the narrator on audible. She really makes the stories come alive when listening.

Frustrating until it’s worth it at the end

I was so frustrated until about past the half way point. I just wanted to know and nothing was happening but just like Frieda always does there are twists and turns and an amazing ending! The

Freida Did It Again

I think this is a favorite of mine from The Housemaid series - didn’t see the ending coming at all.

She never fails

I would have never thought. When you think you know. There is always a Switch.

Spectacular

This is a series and it is helpful if you read the installments before this one. I was glued to this novel and didn’t want to stop reading. I was on vacation so I had to. Otherwise I would have devoured this in less than a day. Huge fan of Frieda McFadden and two thumbs up for this psychological thriller.

Can’t put down

I have listened to all of The Housemaid books by Freida McFadden and every single one was so good! You can’t put it down there are so many twists and turns and what you think is going to happen is not at all what happens! The narrator of these three books is also just amazing and really brings the story to life!

Wow!

You must listen to the end! Definitely did not see that coming. You think it's going to end one way, then maybe another. Only to he twisted and turned a whole different direction!
