About this listen

“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 listen: and once you start, it will have you up all night until the final explosive twist.

Enjoyable and gripping- listened to story on long car trip. Would recommend. Nothing gory or inappropriate

Good twists

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I absolutely loved the first two books in the Housemaid series, so I couldn’t wait to complete it. Unfortunately, this book just didn’t do it for me. I found the story really dragged in the first half of the book, and actually found Millie really annoying. Her character disappointed me, and I started to find the issues between her and Enzo repetitive and boring. I stuck with it hoping the twist would be worth it, but it just wasn’t.

Disappointing

Loved the book and loved the audiobook! Frieda McFadden never disappoints. Absolutely brilliant series, full of twists & turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Brilliant!

Even though they’re a tad predictable (and have you shouting at the end when they’re not getting the result right…) I love these books because they’re so easy to read or listen to. They’ve been great for a long drive for work or if I’m studying. I’ll definitely be getting more of them.

Fantastic book again

I enjoyed the first book in the house maid series and was hoping for more but this was disappointing. An ok listen, a bit slow and predictable. Both narrators were clear and easy to listen to.
