AP Language teacher Dr. Lela Crowder is currently reading “The Housemaid is Watching” by Freida McFadden.

Freida McFadden is the pen name for an American bestselling author, who is also a practicing physician specializing in brain injuries. 

“I have a Kindle unlimited subscription, and I had read another mystery book,” Crowder said. “That’s probably what caused it to recommend me the book.”

“The Housemaid is Watching” is the third book in a series about a woman named Millie Accardi. The previous books followed her work as a housemaid who built a livelihood off of helping abused women with their relationships. Although in the third book, time has passed and she has settled down with a family of her own. However, her neighbor’s wife, Suzette, has been acting strangely.

“The thing that makes the story really scary is the fact that it’s realistic,” Crowder said. “It feels like this is something that could actually happen to another human being.”

“The Housemaid is Watching” is a dangerous, thrilling mystery that entraps the reader in a web of secrecy and lies.
