The Housemaid Is Watching

Once I read the Housemaid, I was hooked. This series is a fast read, full of unexpected twists and turns. I love how every story was tied together.

I loved the housemaid series. While this book took a little longer for the twists and turns - I did enjoy it! The story line is good and I never felt like something was missed!

SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW If you make it that far in the book, that seems to be some foreshadowing that this one is not on par with the rest of the series or McFadden's other books. I usually enjoy her books as a fast, entertaining read with 2 (or more!) sides to every story and an interesting twist at the end that at least I don't often see coming. This book was slower getting started and never really gained speed. There was a LOT left unexplained and at the end, even the plot twist was a big "ummm, what??" moment. So we are to believe Nico was horribly traumatized because he had to play with toys in a room? So traumatized that he started beating up other kids, flushing pet insects, not eating and acting up? I thought maybe this was not so stated pedophelia but TBH, the vagueness took away from the credibility. And he’s so traumatized that his sister felt compelled to stab the person doing this? And then other references (ok, maybe 2) to what a horrible person Jonathan was but no previous evidence? The no details about the other kid who went missing 3 years ago but nothing until all of a sudden there’s a boy in the neighborhood? The weird Martha stuff all throughout... The weird 11 year old boys stuff in Ada's part? There really were far too many odd little tangents that didn’t line up, make sense, or get resolved. I dunno, this one just didn't work for me. I finished it but it all left me scratching my head because it just didn't make much sense.

I couldn’t put this series down. It was so good! It kept me hanging till the very end. The plot line was so real!

This book like the previous book is certainly a good mystery, however, it’s slow to get going. That’s why only 4 stars. The previous book on the series had quick and twisty threads. I loved it, so I read this one. It really speaks well of a mother who knows how women with children think. Would have enjoyed it more, if there were intermittent feedback from all the parties, rather than learning everything about the true ending, at that last five minutes of the read. Still, I enjoy the writer.

Well written series. All three books were intriguing. The Characters were interesting. There were lots of Twists and Turns which Kept one reading and reading. I would recommend this book to those persons liking a good mystery!

Please read this three book series!! It’s so good, each story is different and familiar at the same time! It’s such a great series

Review of The Housemaid is Watching by Freida McFadden: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How many dark and twisted people can one person meet in a lifetime?! Poor Millie just can’t catch a break - every corner she turns, there’s another secret, another manipulative mind, another moral mess. Just as I was starting to get a little tired of Millie’s choices, Freida McFadden pulled me right back in with the introduction of Ada and Nico. I loved the addition of the kids and how their presence gave the story a fresh, eerie edge that tied perfectly into the series. Like the first two books, this one is fast-paced and full of red herrings that kept me flipping pages long past bedtime. Every time I thought I had things figured out, I was proven wrong - though I did call the ending early on (and still enjoyed watching it all unfold). So many morally gray characters, so much tension, and a finale that truly wraps up the chaos in classic McFadden style. What a twisted, satisfying conclusion to an addictive series!

Great book. Loved the twists and the last adventure it gave to Millie and Enzo. It was a great ending to an epic couples story.

読みやすくて面白い小説。英語の表現も平易、スラスラと読めます。 人間心理については、国が違っても共通な部分を感じます。

Eşim ile bu seriyi okuduk çok beğendik

Truly amazing literature, great twists and turns that got me fully hooked! Could not put this book down, great read!

Che dire? Assolutamente eccezionale. L’autrice ha saputo chiudere la saga con dei colpi di scena inaspettati! Ho letteralmente divorato l’ultimo volume in soli due giorni, e ora me ne pento perché so che non leggerò più di Millie. Ho amato come la trama dell’ultimo libro si incastra perfettamente con i precedenti. Cinque stelle meritatissime.
