The Housemaid is Watching by Freida McFadden

 Third book of the series finds Millie and her family living on Long Island, but the people on their cul-de-sac are not the neighbors they're hoping for.

I wish Millie wouldn't always jump to conclusions.

4 stars.

The Intruder by Freida McFadden

4 stars.

She's Not There by Joy Fielding

 Two year old Samantha goes missing during a family vacation.  Fifteen years later, a young lady contacts the family claiming to be their long lost daughter.

Mostly enjoyable.  I subtracted half a star because the old daughter's character was so one dimensional.

3.5 stars.

The Bad Daughter by Joy Fielding

 I really liked some of JF's other books, but not this one.  The characters were one-dimensional and the dialog of the 12 year old was unbelievable.

2 stars.
