The Housemaid series by Freida McFadden is one of the most popular thriller offerings out there, and the next book, titled The Housemaid Is Seeing, is returning readers to the author’s story in 2024. The Housemaid tells the gripping tale of a young woman who takes a job as a maid for a wealthy family. Millie is desperate enough to stay with the Winchesters, even when it becomes clear that something is very, very off. And her journey takes readers on a psychological thrill ride full of twists that have cemented the book’s success.
The Housemaid‘s ending also set the stage for a sequel, which McFadden released in 2023. The second installment in the series, dubbed The Housemaid’s Secret, finds Millie working for another wealthy family — though this time, she’s aware of the dynamic in the household and trying to put a stop to it. The Housemaid’s Secret is full of McFadden’s signature twists and turns, and it’s little wonder that it’s getting another follow-up in 2024. The Housemaid Is Seeing is one of 2024’s most exciting thriller books, and it’s poised to take readers on another wild journey.
The Housemaid Is Seeing,the third book in McFadden’s thriller series, has a release date of June 11, 2024. That means fans of The Housemaid series don’t have to wait much longer to see what’s next for Millie. And the book’s summer debut, paired with McFadden’s fast-paced storytelling, makes it the perfect beach read. With The Housemaid’s Secret hitting shelves in February 2023, readers won’t need much of a refresher before the next sequel, either. It is important to be caught up on McFadden’s series, though, as The Housemaid’s Secret sets up Millie’s current circumstances.
Although The Housemaid Is Seeing‘s synopsis suggests it takes place a while after The Housemaid’s Secret, the first two books in McFadden’s series set the stage for Millie’s upcoming story. The Housemaid’s Secret sees Millie reconnecting with Enzo, the landscaper who helps her and Nina Winchester in the first installment. This may not seem like a major plot point with everything else going on, but The Housemaid Is Seeing opens with Millie and Enzo married and living a suburban life with kids. As such, it seems the two books lead into one another.
Millie’s actions in the previous Housemaid books may also come back to haunt her, as McFadden’s third installment finds her and Enzo being watched. Their neighbors start acting suspiciously once they move into their new home, and alarm bells go off when Millie is given a warning about the people around them. It’s unclear who might be watching Millie or why, but given her work between the first two books, she’s likely made an enemy of the very wealthy suburbanites she’s decided to join.
The Housemaid Is Seeing is the third book in McFadden’s thriller series, but there’s no word on whether it will be the last. With Millie and Enzo starting a family and moving to suburbia, one can’t help but feel like their journey must be nearing its end. It’s also hard to imagine how McFadden will keep coming up with fresh takes and twists for Millie’s story.
However, McFadden has a knack for delivering surprises, so it’s possible The Housemaid books will continue in some fashion. No end point has been announced, so readers should keep an eye out for updates about this thriller series. It’s also getting a movie adaptation (via Deadline), which could increase the demand for more sequels. All three of McFadden’s thriller books deserve adaptations, and if The Housemaid Is Seeing proves as popular as its predecessors, it could easily get a follow-up.
