McFadden will join us to chat about writing psychological thrillers\, her mega-bestselling hit The Housemaid series\, in particular her forthcoming (June 11\, 2024) third installment\, The Housemaid Is Watching. \nThe next installment is full of unbelievable twists and tension as it continues to follow Millie Calloway. She used to clean other people’s houses—now\, she can’t believe this new home is actually hers. The charming kitchen\, the quiet cul-de-sac\, the huge yard where her kids can play. She and her husband saved for years to give their children the life they deserve. \nEven though she’s wary of their new neighbor\, Mrs. Lowell when she invites them over for dinner\, it’s their chance to make friends\, so they accept the invitation. Mrs. Lowell’s maid opens the door wearing a white apron\, her hair in a tight bun. Millie knows exactly what it’s like to be in her shoes. But the maid’s cold stare gives her chills… \nThe Lowells’ maid isn’t the only strange thing on their street. Millie’s sure she sees a shadowy figure watching them. Her husband leaves the house late at night. And when she meets a woman who lives across the way\, her words chill to the bone: Be careful of your neighbors. \nMillie wonders: Did they make a terrible mistake moving their family here? \nAbout the Author: Bestselling author Freida McFadden is a practicing physician specializing in brain injury who has penned multiple bestselling psychological thrillers and medical humor novels. \nThis event will be recorded and people who register will be emailed a link to the recording. \nRegister now. \nThis event is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant provided by the Traverse des\nSioux Library Cooperative\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.\nThe event is held in coordination with Library Speakers Consortium and presented by Waseca-Le Sueur\nRegional Library System.
