Freida McFadden has stated the third book will be the final book of the series.

The Housemaid Is Watching. An absolutely gripping psychological thriller packed with twists. “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…

The Housemaid's Secret. A totally gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist. As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can't risk losing this job - not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe . . .

The Housemaid is a twisted tale of manipulation, deceit, and survival. In the latest psychological thriller by Freida McFadden, ex-convict Millie becomes the maid for the wealthy Winchester family. It was the only job she could find, but there’s something odd about Nina, her new employer. On the other hand, Nina’s handsome husband, Andrew, is kind and friendly.
