Millie is back in the third installment of The Housemaid series by Freida McFadden titled “The Housemaid is Watching”, but the only house she will be cleaning is her own. As Millie and her little family try to integrate themselves into their new neighborhood, one thing is certain: don’t trust the neighbors.

After having read the first two books in the series, I did enjoy revisiting Millie, now in her middle age, and meeting her new family. That was enjoyable; however, much of the book is filled with Millie and the many new people in her life, and not as much of the actual psychological thrill I was anticipating.

I always enjoy Freida McFadden’s easy writing and fun plots, but this one was too drawn out and overall unnecessary for the series.

Overall, I’m not disappointed that I read it, but it is certainly my least favorite of The Housemaid Series books.

Thank you to the publisher, Bookouture, for reaching out to offer me a gifted eARC for review consideration. All opinions expressed here are mine alone.

The Housemaid Is Watching by Freida McFadden is available today, June 11th, 2024.
