Our Thriller Queen Freida has done it again. She has given us another novel full of twists and turns. 

This time we are 11 years down the road, Millie & Enzo have moved to Long Island (ON Long Island if you need corrected), with their 2 beautiful children, hoping to leave the past far far behind them. They move into a huge house compared to their tiny apartment in the Bronx and begin to live their new life, But little do they know the secrets that this house has in store for them and remember, nosy neighbors are always watching. 

In this book we are met with several different story-lines and Freida has intertwined them so perfectly. The twists and turns we are presented with will have you turning the pages faster and faster. Just when you think you have it figured out, in true Freida fashion, she throws in another curve that will leave you reeling. 

I love that this book is a perfect exploration of the idea the seemingly perfect neighborhood can harbor hidden dangers adds a layer of psychological depth that elevates this thriller above the rest.

I am a huge Freida McFadden fan & read every books she puts out. I absolutely love that she gives us 5 star book after 5 star book while still working a full time job as a doctor specializing in brain injury. I truly think her background gives her the perfect space to create these amazing books.

Thank you NetGalley, Freida McFadden, & Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC of The Housemaid is Watching. I cannot wait for Freida’s next book!
