The Housemaid is Watching
In 2022, Freida McFadden released The Housemaid, a psychological thriller about a woman who accepts a job as a maid in the home of a wealthy family, only to find herself ensnared in their sinister secrets. The Housemaid immediately became a bestseller, and now, McFadden has released the third installation of this explosive series. In The Housemaid is Watching, protagonist Millie Calloway is no longer cleaning the house, but she still finds herself in quite the dangerous mess after meeting her new neighbors. If you didn’t get the chance to read McFadden’s previous installations, you can still enjoy The Housemaid is Watching as a standalone thriller. No matter how you read it, this new novel will have you up until sunrise eagerly flipping through pages.
