I really enjoyed this, I did pick parts of the endings, however some of the twists caught me by surprise.
I feel like I now know way too much about turtles.
Overall, I did enjoy this book, just not my favourite Freida book.

QUICK TAKE: I really struggled with this one. Felt half-baked, with twists that were telegraphed from chapter one. Also, a LOT of turtle stuff.

I’m usually left feeling overly excited after having just read one of her books, this one not so much. Maybe I resonated too much with our main character Dawn? Maybe I’m too familiar with characters like Natalie? Either way, I think I was hoping for something a little different…

This story starts off with Dawn Schiff not showing up for work one day. This is very odd as Dawn is always very prompt, meticulous, and never misses work. Natalie, her coworker decides to go looking for her. Natalie seems very worried about Dawn, and insists that she was always kind to her while other people in the office were not. However, Dawn has emails that she wrote to a friend that prove otherwise…

I can see where McFadden was going with this book, as we are all tired of bullies. We are tired of bullies getting away with everything with no repercussions, while the those of us who get bullied continue to suffer. Where is the justice?!

This is book is divided into two parts. I really enjoyed Part I, but Part II- not as much. It did have some nice twists, but they just didn’t “wow” me like I thought they would. All in all, this is a fun read- and I will be looking out for more from McFadden in the future!

Thank you NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press, and Freida McFadden for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! This was a thrilling read that follows two people from the same office - Dawn and Natalie. They’re very different and Dawn is much more awkward and shy than Natalie, who is beautiful and popular. I love this author’s previous books and an office setting really appealed to me. It’s fast-paced and I did not guess the twists, which shows it’s a good mystery/thriller! If you like those genres, be sure to check this one out.

I am not sure how McFadden continuously delivers hit after hit with each of her new novels! This is twist after twist and is utterly magnificent!! Her plot and character development is top-notch!

Freida McFadden is quickly becoming one of my favorite thriller authors. Although this one had a few plot points that were a tad far fetched, it’s still a solid and compelling thriller.

This is the first book by McFadden that I have read, but I have heard so many great things about her novels. I liked the way readers were kept guessing the entire way through the story. The book is full of unreliable narrators and it unfolds in dual point of view, which helps with the mystery aspect even more. How well do you really know your coworkers, and how do you know if you can really trust someone. This book makes you think and it has a lot of twists and turns with an ending I did not see coming.

Fast paced read and enough to keep me interested. Quirky characters and a great plot twist. There's a reason why readers are quickly discovering and devouring Freida McFadden books!

I have become a big Freida Readah so I definitely was excited to read The Coworkers. I am also a fan of turtles so a coworker obsessed with turtles had me hooked. This book had lots of secrets and twists and I never would have predicted it at all.

I read this in one sitting! Freida McFadden definitely knows how to write a page turner. She takes ordinary, relatable life situations (in this case, working in an office with different friendship/coworker dynamics) and adds drama and murder and twists and turns. I highly recommend this to any thriller lover.

Read this one on its release week! I have discovered Freida this year and she is one of my fave new authors. I didn't like this one as much as some of her others like The Housemaid, but it was still a really, quick and fun read.

Hooboy - Buckle up, buttercup, because this was a WILD ride. This was my first Freida book, and I was NOT disappointed. We all have the coworker that can get under your skin, the goody two shoes, the over achiever, and the slacker. None you'd actually want to kill, though, right? WRONG

The suspense was REAL in this book. I was hooked from the get-go. I had to know where Dawn was, if she was dead, and was Natalie really capable, or was she just a scapegoat?

The only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars was the fact I just couldn't stand Dawn's long ass emails. 🤣 I mean. It helped you understand how quirky she was, but every email to Mia had me going l, "Not agaaaaain!"

Many thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the Advanced Reader Copy!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the oppotunty to read the ARC of The Coworker by Freida McFadden. This was the first book I've read by McFadden, but it won't be my last! This was a great workplace murder mystery that kept me on my toes. There were a lot of twists, which I thought I would be able to predict. While I did see some things coming, McFadden was able to make a few of the twists even more obscure than I imagined at first and threw me off the trail. If you're looking for a fast-paced thriller which will keep you on the edge of your seats, I highly suggest this book! Thank you again for the opportunity to read this ARC.

I loved this book! It was just the right amount of turtles. The twists and turned throughout the book were great as well! I will always recommend a Freida McFadden book.

WOW! Another fast-paced thriller by Freida! I liked both of the main characters in this book, and I definitely didn't see the twist coming! I liked the character build of Dawn through the emails that she was sending to her best friend. She was portrayed as the victim throughout half of the book, and then boom, plot twist! I was rooting for Natalie in the end. Can't wait for another book!!

The Coworker is a rollercoaster of a read! Frieda McFadden keeps us scratching our heads trying to figure out what is going on. Just when you think you've got the missing piece of the puzzle, another twist in the plot lets you know you were wrong! Right to the very end of the book, the reader is kept in the dark. This thriller will not disappoint!

I read The Housemaid because EVERYONE was coming into the store looking for it and it was consistently selling out so of course I needed to see what it was about. Before I even started reading it I downloaded The Coworker on the advice of a coworker who reads every Freida McFadden book. I enjoyed The Housemaid but liked this one even more. I can see why McFadden has become such a popular writer, her books are enjoyable, full of twists, and easy to start playing armchair detective with.

Freida is by far the mastermind of amazing writing! The Co-worker is another one of her home runs! Great story line and the book made it so easy

First i want to Thank NetGalley and PoisonedPenPress for the opportunity to read this ARC of this book.
I have to say i kind of was a bit upset with this book. To me the majority of it was predictable and not quite as good as previous books i have devoured by this author. Characters were nice and i loved the storyline but i wasn't on the edge of my seat like normal. I guessed the end before it took place. The first half of the book seemed to be better than part 2. The part 2 to me just seemed meh. Was a good book but i probably wouldnt read it again.

Thank you Poison Pens, Freida McFadden, and Netgalley for this book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the turtle aspect of the story. I thought it was a good, fast paced story. I liked the twist at the end. Definite must read for those who like Freida! 🌟🌟🌟🌟 solids on this one! If you want a fast paced book, this one is for you.
