The Housemaid Is Watching - The Housemaid #3 by Freida McFadden REVIEW 10 stars!


COMING JUNE 11, 2024 The highly anticipated third story to The Housemaid series -- 📖

“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?


REVIEW:  ☆☆☆☆☆

And the award goes to : Freida McFadden for a third in a series of an outstanding psychological thriller book! How does she do it? The first chapter had me hooked, a little mystery, a little intrigue. Millie and her family have moves in to this cozy neighborhood, the house they bought at a price they couldn't refuse. As they are getting settled, they notice little things about their neighbors. Hmmm. Not giving anything away, as the book goes on, the nosy neighbor, is really getting on Millies nerve, she's having bad feelings about her neighbors, about the decision of moving...
Of course as I'm reading, I know "who did it" but, as Fr
eida does, there is a twist you don't see coming. Another highly recommended book!

Ward D by Freida McFadden (Goodreads Author)


From Goodreads: 

Medical student Amy Brenner is spending the night on a locked psychiatric ward.

Amy has been dreading her evening working on Ward D, the hospital’s inpatient mental health unit. There are very specific reasons why she never wanted to do this required overnight rotation. Reasons nobody can ever find out.

And as the hours tick by, Amy grows increasingly convinced something terrible is happening within these tightly secured walls. When patients and staff start to vanish without a trace, it becomes clear that everyone on the unit is in grave danger.

Amy’s worst nightmare was spending the night on Ward D.

And now she might never escape.

288 pages, Kindle Edition

First published May 8, 2023


I very much enjoyed this story! Read it at night in bed, don't recommend doing that lol. This is an edge of your seat, psychological thriller!
The story keeps you interested , wanting to keep you reading to find out what is going on.
Amy is the main character. A medical student who is signed up to work the night shift in a psychiatric ward . Amy is scared, over the top frightened to work at the ward but she has no choice.
The story is told in alternating time periods, when she was a teenager and the present. I really enjoyed reading the past, which helped to understand the characters, Amy and her best friend Jade.
Not saying any more. I loved it and looking forward to reading more from this author!! 10 stars for me
