Wow. Don’t F with Millie! My legit new hero! The third book was so good. I literally finished it in an entire day! Absolutely could not put this down today! I’m not even sure where to start, every time I thought I had it all figured out there was another twist and turn that assured me I did not! Absolutely beautifully wrapped up! This book did not disappoint at all! The series was completely closed up perfectly! I wish I could give this 10 stars! By far one of my favorite mystery series ever!

Very twisted plot. The charterers reappear from the previous books. The plot is completely different from Book 1 & 2. great read.

"I was so excited to move here, but it’s starting to seem like I’ve chosen the least friendly cul-de-sac in town. One neighbor is hitting on my husband, and the other is judging my dedication as a mother…I wonder if moving here has been a terrible mistake.” Janis is a widowed stay-at-home mom who walks her child to the bus stop on a leash; Suzette is a realtor who is married, childfree, and audaciously flirtatious. “I wish I could say that I’m relieved when they drive away. But it’s hard to ever get rid of somebody when they live right next door to you.” Millie has always trusted her husband, and “I’ve always known my husband is an excellent liar. It just never bothered me until I suspected he was hiding something from me…His desire to help women in danger is something I always loved about him and a passion I shared.” But “Of all the people I would have thought my husband might cheat with, my sixty-year-old cleaning woman was at the bottom of the list.” Suzette’s maid Martha “was always looking out the window, watching her house, waiting for a time when I could get her alone and spill my guts. I was sure she would help me…Nobody ever suspects the housemaid.” One neighbor Janis has taken suggestive pictures of Millie’s husband not with the maid but with the other neighbor Suzette, who has recently upped her own husband’s life insurance policy. A motel about an hour away has a record of Millie’s husband checking in with a woman a few days ago. Millie’s husband also just bought a gun using a thousand dollar cash withdrawl he “forgot” to mention to Millie. Then Janis sees him going into the neighbor’s house, and the next thing we know, Suzette’s husband is dead. “This woman basically told the police she thought my husband killed a man. That’s not exactly neighborly…After all this is over, my family is going to need therapy.” Fry up a skillet of pasta alla Norma with chocolate chip pancakes for dessert and close the blinds—because you never know if The Housemaid Is Watching!
