The Housemaid 3 Books Collection Set by Freida McFadden (The Housemaid, The Housemaid's Secret, The Housemaid is Watching)

The Housemaid 3 Books Collection Set by Freida McFadden brings together three connected thrillers centred on a housemaid whose work places her inside other people’s homes and private lives. Across the collection, the narrator moves between households, observing what is said, what is hidden, and what is left unsaid behind closed doors.

From cleaning the Winchesters’ house and caring for their daughter, to taking a job in the Garricks’ penthouse while keeping her past quiet, each story focuses on uneasy domestic routines and the tension of not knowing who to trust. The final instalment shifts to a new home of her own, where a neighbour’s invitation and the sight of another maid at the door raise fresh doubts.

Synopses

The Housemaid

Each day is spent cleaning the Winchesters’ house, collecting their daughter from school and cooking for the family before eating alone in a small room upstairs. Nina creates mess to be cleaned and tells strange lies about her daughter, while her husband Andrew appears more broken with each passing day.

The Housemaid's Secret

Finding work is difficult when employers ask questions about the past, so a job with the Garricks feels like luck. The role involves cleaning their penthouse and preparing meals, while staying quiet for long enough to get what is wanted. But Mrs Garrick has not been met, the guest bedroom remains unseen, and there are sounds of crying.

The Housemaid is Watching

After years of saving, a former house cleaner now lives in a home of her own, with a kitchen, a quiet cul-de-sac and a large yard for the children. Caution grows around a neighbour, Mrs Lowell, and a dinner invitation becomes a chance to make friends. When the door is opened by a maid in a white apron, the familiarity is immediate, but her cold stare brings a chill.
