Love this series -took me a while to realize most characters circle around! I love it! Nothing else comes to mind… just keep them coming! Love all the plot twist.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Fredia her books are so fast paced for me I typically get her reads and finish them in one sitting. I am unsure as to why it is but as the Housemaid series has gone on though I love each one just a little less. Book one hands down will always be a heart felt favorite sitting aside Verity by Colleen Hoover for me but this one was just not the best. I think at this point Enzo will always be good looking! I am not a fan of women like Suzette so perhaps that is what turned me away.

The third book in the Housemaid series follows a similar pattern where you know there is a murder, but you don't know the identity of the victim or the murderer. After a fair amount of buildup, you discover who the victim is, but then the twists keep coming until the real murderer stands up, and it is quite twisty and suspenseful. Millie is now a wife and mother of two children. She finally married Enzo! They just bought a house in the suburbs on Long Island (never say in Long Island), but Millie, never gets to live a normal life with normal neighbors. This is another well done thriller from Freida McFadden.

My thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an ecopy. My opinion is my own.

This book started our promising but I felt like the majority of it was exposition. It really did not feel like a thriller to me.

Freida McFadden does it again!

You will not be able to put this one down.
Lots of twists and turns to follow.

You will love to hate and hate to love some characters and others just flat out HATE!

I absolutely love this author and can not wait to read more!

Every book by Freida McFadden is better than the last. This book completed the series in an amazing way. I was immediately captured in the story. There were times where I couldn't breath or read fast enough! McFadden is my go to author when I need a heart palpitating book.

I have read this ARC with a view to providing a review
All opinions and thoughts are my own

I've seen these books hit the bestseller lists and was thrilled to be able to read it
Absolutely loved it
Now looking out more from this author
I suspect they will be become a firm favourite

This was a little too formulaic and parts were unbelievable. There weren’t any characters in this book that are likable.
The ending was too neatly tied up and everyone was able to go on with their lives. I haven’t read the first two books but I feel like this 3rd book might be pushing this storyline and character too far.

Very similar to the other housemaid books. The book was overall ok but not the best mystery book out there. If you enjoy Frieda and don't mind all of her books being the same, then I would Encourage you to read it. If you are over Frieda then I would Suggest skipping it.

Freida does it again! She is a masterful thriller writer. I'll admit, at first, it started off slow and then slowly I got more intrigued in part one. Millie's life has really changed as a wife and mom, so it's good to see her evolve as she got older. When Millie started to have problems with Nico, I suspected that he committed the act. I was completely shocked to find out who it really was. I also didn't know if I could truly believe Enzo or not, but; Freida is great at painting the perfect picture that everyone is not what they seem. If you've read any of the Housemaid series (or any of Freida's books) you know that there is always a shocking revelation in the last few chapters, and this one is no exception. If you want a book that's going to play with all of your emotions, this is it! You're in for a wild, but thrilling ride.

I appreciated receiving the early opportunity to read McFadden’s third Housemaid novel. I read the other two also and found them entertaining, but more like madcap satires of mysteries than true crime thrillers or police procedurals, my preferred genres. In fact, I classify these as Women’s Fiction, not Mystery and Suspense. But I read it anyway, and got really tired of the caricature portrayal of the neighbor women. Then when the murder was finally presented, I didn’t think the plot held together well. The way she described Mr. Lowell’s strange behavior wasn’t very clear. I wasn’t wowed by the author’s formulaic turnaround twist, though it was unexpected. All said though, fans will likely love this.

Freida McFadden’s next installment in the Housemaid series is another twisty, fast moving thriller that can also be read as a stand alone.

The main character, Millie, from The Housemaid series is back now living with family in the suburbs. When Millie and her family move into their dream house on a quiet residential street, she feels like she is finally in a safe place. But with their nosy neighbor and controlling parent Janice on one side and overly friendly neighbors Suzette and Jonathan on the other, the neighborhood is not as perfect as it seems. Millie’s children stumble upon a hidden room, the new maid is creepily staring at her and Millie is sure she hears scratching from inside the house in the middle of the night. As Millie and her husband Enzo struggle with the financial stretch of owning this home, the whole family begins to wonder if it was the right move.

McFadden’s writing propels the story and the many twists and turns will keep the reader guessing. I thought I knew the ending half way through and was sure I saw the twist coming but I was wrong! Fans of Liv Constantine’s The Last Mrs Parish will love The Housemaid is Watching.

Thanks to Poison Pen Press and NetGalley for the advanced reader’s copy.

I don't even think I need to review this - just give it another 5 stars like I always do for Freida! All 3 books in this series were excellent and I tore through them.

I was looking forward to reading The Housemaid is Watching after reading the previous two books in the series. This could be read as a stand alone also but is better to read the other two titles in the Housemaid series to get the full story. I read this book in one sitting as I wanted to find out what would happen next. I would thoroughly recommend this book and I do hope that there is another one to follow on with the story. A great read. Thank you.

Freida McFadden keeps you on your toes! Another great read! I kept changing my mind on who did what.

Everything Frieda McFadden puts out, I absolutely devour!! Love, love, LOVE her! I don’t know what she puts in her books that makes me unable to put them down, but WOAH I loved this!

I really do love the Housemaid series and this one in particular had the wit that I love. That being said, I found it quite a slow start and I was really hoping for that McPhadden oomph she always brings and I just found it lacking. It tied up nicely, as always, but I was never at the edge of my seat. It got me out of my reading slump and it was modestly “okay.”

I would like to thank NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for allowing me to read an ARC of this book.

I am a recent Freida McFadden convert, and have read a decent number of her books, including the other two books in the Housemaid series. While not required reading for this one, as The Housemaid is Watching can be read as a standalone, the other two books do provide helpful background details and information on Millie and her prior experiences. But WOW! This 3rd book is phenomenal! I absolutely loved it (possibly even more than the first one, which was my favorite).

The Housemaid is Watching opens with Millie and her family moving into a new house. There's new neighbors, and a new housemaid to get to know, but it seems like everyone is acting weird or hiding something. The people next door to Millie -- Suzette and Jonathan -- are a bit too perfect which is a red flag, and the other lady, Janice is super nosey. Add in some houses with creepy secret rooms, and a cleaning lady that is stealing stuff and you've got a perfect storm for chaos....and murder. But the true identity of the murderer (and their motives) may surprise you. Because looks can be deceiving and not everyone is who they seem, and all secrets have consequences.

This book was SOOOO GOOD!! A slow burn with a tense build-up to the big reveal. I was SHOCKED! If you are a fan of thrillers you need to read this one. You won't be able to put it down! I will definitely be recommending this one to my book clubs.

As much as I adore Freida McFadden’s novels, I don’t think sequels are her best suit.

The Housemaid Is Watching just felt too much like her previous novels in the series, and I feel that McFadden has downplayed Millie’s characterization. In The Housemaid, Millie is fantastic and you are left enthralled by her. By now, in the third installment, Millie’s character had no substance and just contributed according to the plot. I’m still a huge fan of McFadden, and I will be in the look out for more of her novels, but this one was not her best work.

Wow, another great psychological thriller from this author. Some great twists and turns you’ll never see coming throughout this story.
