The Housemaid Is Watching Paperback – June 11 2024
Purchase options and add-ons
A twisting, pulse-pounding thriller from Freida McFadden, the New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid and The Coworker
"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?

Nice twist at the end.
When the book begins the family have moved from a small Bronx apartment to a single detached home on Long Island. Millie has completed college and is a social worker, and Enzo is expanding his landscaping business, but money is tight. They meet the Lowells, their next door neighbours, and Mrs. Lowell, a real estate agent, promises to recommend Enzo to her clients.
All, however, is not good in the neighbourhood, and the reader becomes engrossed a suspense situation leading to the death of Mr. Lowell. Enzo is initially arrested, but he is covering for someone else. So who committed the murder and why?
I found the plot engrossing, and the book is a very good read.

Han pasado unos cuantos años desde la última vez que coincidimos con Millie. Ahora es la señora Accardi y tiene dos hijos con Enzo: Ada de 11 años y Nico de 9.
La mudanza a una nueva casa en Long Island removerá el barrio y la existencia de la familia: mentiras, secretos, un asesinato... y tener que esperar al epílogo para tener la última pieza del puzle.
Ha conseguido engancharme, mantenerme en tensión y con la cabeza llena de dudas en todo momento.
Since first and second were absolute bang 💥
I had high hopes with this one.
Overall good read
I found the whole storyline uninteresting and predictable. I guessed the twist practically straightaway which isn’t what one likes
