The Housemaid Is Watching

De: Freida McFadden

Narrado por: Lauryn Allman, Ina Marie Smith

“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.

Not as good as the others

Very slow to start and I almost gave up but I finished. Didn’t really enjoy this one. ☹️

Slow and unfortunately predictable

I loved the first book in this series. The twist was shocking and end was satisfying. The second book was not as good, but still held my interest. This one, though, was frustratingly slow. It was just so hard to believe some of the smaller things but she also felt the need to describe in detail things that were implied, making it seem like she thinks the reader is dense and wouldn’t pick up on them. I found myself looking forward to it being done. I’m a big McFadden fan- I just think this one didn’t live up.

Disappointed

I had listened to the first two audiobooks and was looking forward to the third. Half way through and I was contemplating not finishing it. It honestly was going no where. It was the last quarter when something interesting actually happened.

Stick with Book 1 & 2

Like Ada said in the story -the 3rd in series is not as good as book 1 & 2.

Loved it!!

It was nice to hear about how much Millie has grown and how far she has come. I love her and Enzos relationship and now their whole little family. These books were such a fun and wild ride to listen to. The narrators always do such an amazing job. Its so sad they have to end.

Absolutely amazing

I have really enjoyed The housemaid series and this one had me in my toes a little. Absolutely love how it was all written and narrated . Highly recommend!

Loved it

This series has taken me on a ride but this book has brought me back to the love I had for the 1st book.

If you truly enjoy a book with Agatha Christie-level twists. You will love this book.

Such a Thriller

Love how it kept me on my toes. Definitely didn’t see a few things coming with this book.

She did it again!

Freida McFadden never ceases to amaze me with her books. They take twists and turns that you don’t see coming. I can’t wait to devour more.

The outstanding description of each character

I am a big fan of Freida McFadden. I like all her books the way she just cries every single character and circumstances and gives detail about every situation in the story. I love the suspense and the unexpected twists at the end.
