The Housemaid Is Watching is the third installment in the globally bestselling Housemaid series by New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Freida McFadden. Published June 11, 2024, by Poisoned Pen Press and Bookouture (Hachette UK), this psychological thriller follows Millie as she and her family move into their dream home on a quiet suburban cul-de-sac — only to discover that danger may lurk behind the picket fences of their new neighborhood.

After years of saving, Millie and her husband have finally secured a charming home with a large yard where their children can play freely. But trouble begins immediately: neighbor Mrs. Lowell reacts strangely upon seeing Millie's husband, the Lowells' maid fixes Millie with an unsettling cold stare, a shadowy figure appears to watch the family from the dark, and a woman from across the street delivers a chilling warning — "Be careful of your neighbors." As Millie's husband begins slipping out of the house late at night, she is forced to confront whether moving her family here was a terrible mistake and whether the secrets of her darkest past have finally caught up with her.

This book is designed to be read as a standalone and delivers the trademark unrelenting suspense, shocking twists, and an explosive final reveal that readers of the series expect. Reviewers have called it a one-sitting read. Available as a paperback (ISBN-13: 978-1464221132), hardcover, large print edition, ebook (ASIN: B0CK4YL5FM), and audiobook narrated by Lauryn Allman and Ina Marie Smith with a runtime of 11 hours and 42 minutes.
