“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?

From New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Freida McFadden comes the next installment of the unbelievably twisty, tension-packed and globally bestselling Housemaid series. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone read: and once you start, it will have you up all night racing through the pages until the final explosive twist.

First 100 pages were slow but after that I couldn't put it down
Ok so here is my honest truth. Had this been my first Freida and I stuck to my 100 page rule I would have DNF'd this one.The first 100 pages I struggled to get into, it was slow and repetitive. That being said I'm glad I didn't and stuck with it because I really enjoyed it.This could be a standalone but I don't recommend skipping the first two as they were great.Enzo lying felt unnecessary to me and added conflict where there didn't need to be in my opinion. I liked the twist and it made sense but I was really hoping it would have been something else that I can't say without a huge spoiler warning so I won't. Same vibes as the first 2, if you liked them you'll like this one.

Well another Freida McFadden book shelved as read! Book 3 of the trilogy did not disappoint. It was fast paced and it had some crazy moments, especially in the second half of the book. It was very entertaining and that's what I look for in a book. It wasn't as thrilleresk (I know that's not a word but I couldn't think of one to use) as some of McFadden's books are but enjoyable none the less. I gave this book a 4 star rating.

The 2 books of the Housemaid were original, humorous and full of surprises. The last one is slow moving, repetitive which makes it heavy. The reader is rewarded for its patience at the very end but it barely makes up for the 2/3 of the story which drags itself. I would not have bothered buying the last book if I had known.

The 1st in this series was a SOLID 5 out of 5...probably even higher!! Book # 2.....A solid 4.5... Was excited about this wrap-up 3rd in the series...however....I was absolutely BORED for the 1/2 day...just a boring day to day life of the Acardi family...ummm.... The 2nd half did pick up a little..but, psychological thriller I think NOT. The twists were odd, a little too heavy and the ending just meh.. Anyway..another miss for this author. I HAVE been a major Freida fan and have bought ALL of her books, probably up to near 20 at this point. However, the last three of her books have been, I am sorry to say, under-whelming to me! Maybe she is just pumping them out too fast?? I really don't know? Sorry to say, all I can give this book is a 3.

Spoiler free review.

WOW! just WOW!!

From the beginning I was extremely surprised and did not expect what we were introduced to, but I was extremely happy with it as well.

It was absolutely brilliant trying to figure out what Millie was going to end up involved with this time round as she always finds herself in situations like the first two books, but I was surprised by this one.

The whole book was brilliant, kept me guessing which is what I liked about the first two, but the introduction of a few new characters was good as well, but I was really surprised by the return of some old characters as well, even the mention of old characters was perfect.

From chapter 58 onwards I was shocked to be honest, and the last chapter (epilogue) definitely surprised me, but it was written amazingly and I was drawn in even more than I was with the rest of the book.

I really shouldn't be surprised anymore with one of @fmcfaddenauthor books, but I was genuinely surprised and shocked with this one, but I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it 😊.

If you have read the first two books and haven't got this yet, you definitely need to get it, or maybe sweet talk a family member or friend in to getting you a copy 😂.

Mejor que la segunda parte aunque no llega a la fascinación que me produjo el primero pese a estar muy pero que muy bien.
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.
