The Housemaid Is Watching by Freida McFadden
1.0
mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The previos two Housemaid books weren't overly good, but at least they had suspense, a solid buildup and some good twists going for them. This book has none of that. How is Millie acting more immature in her 40s than she did in her 20s? Not that I was expecting any depth from the characters, but at least have them act like adults with common sense. 

Anyways. The twists were painfully obvious and didn't really hit. I hated the whole "my neighbour is throwing herself at my husband because he's so attractive and every woman wants him" thing. The only good thing I can think of is that it's a quick and easy read at least. I pretty much couldn't care less about anything else, unfortunately.
