The Housemaid Is Watching by Freida McFadden

4.0

This is the third book in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥 series and once again it did not disappoint.  

Millie is back and is ready to move on with her life and moves her family to a lovely cul-de-sac into her dream home.  But once again she finds herself in a precarious position when she is told to “𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴.". 

This was a page turning binge read and once I started I couldn’t put it down. 

I did find the first bit a little slow but it doesn’t take long before it takes off and you get completely hooked.  

And just when I would think I was starting to figure things out Freida throws in a curveball and has me reevaluating all my theories.    

And that final twist in the epilogue completely shocked me, I was not expecting that.  

I highly suggest grabbing this series. 

You can read this as a standalone, but I recommend reading 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙙 and 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙙'𝙨 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩 first.
