A twisting, pulse-pounding psychological thriller from Freida McFadden, the Sunday Times bestselling author of the highly addictive global bestselling Housemaid series.
***
"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 still, 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?
Unbelievably twisty and tension-packed, The Housemaid is Watching 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.
