About this listen

“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.

An improvement over Book 2, with better pacing and more intrigue in the first half. By this point, Freida’s narrative formula becomes familiar — mid-book reveal, POV shift, escalating chaos — which reduces some of the surprise factor. The final twist is small and feels inserted just to wrap things neatly. Certain climactic coincidences feel unrealistic, as if luck replaces logic. Still, it’s entertaining and readable

Same familiar Freida’s narrative formula

I've completed the other two books of the housemaid series and quite enjoyed them.
This book however wasn't half as good.
Firstly, the title really doesn't make sense - the housemaid in fact, is not watching.
Secondly, Millie was supposed to be this intelligent person - how did she get so dumb? Half the reason the story progresses is because she doesn't ask any questions, but rather just thinks about them.
The plot was extremely predictable and irritating, imo.

Mid at best.

An awesome thriller. It definitely keeps you on the edge. The ending was not expected at all. Narrator did a fantabulous job too. An over-all must book. It's better to hear this as the series.

Couldn't put down!
