Thank you Poisoned Press Pens and Netgalley for a copy of this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I have enjoyed every Freida McFadden book I've read and this book did not disappoint. I was gripped by the first chapter and flew threw the rest of the book. I even got my fiance to start reading it and he loved it as well. The characters were quirky and crazy, but they made me laugh. Freida is the queen of twists and just when you think you have a puzzle piece solved, she throws a wrench in the story. Overall, it was fun and I would recommend it to any mystery lovers.

Everyone at the company where Natalie works thinks Dawn is a bit strange, with an obsession for turtles. The one thing about Dawn is , she's a creature of habit, from her arrival at work to her bathroom breaks. One morning Dawn doesn't show up for work and Natalie becomes concerned starting an investigation that you won't see coming.
This is my first book by this author and although I disliked the characters, I will still try other books by her. The story did keep me interested and the writing was good I just didn't feel satisfied by it.

This was my first book by this author. Great read, full of suspense and lots of twists! I'll absolutely be reading more of her books

I really enjoyed reading this book. A little too much of the turtles could tone it down a little. Definetly kept my interested and would recommended this book. I cant stop reading Frieda McFadden. Thank you for my advanced copy.

This book was very easy to get into. The story is told through two POV's. Both women seem to be unreliable narrators. At times I became frustrated and bored. I felt the pacing needed to be a little faster.

With Freida's books, I ALWAYS think I'll be able to guess the twist. This is the first time I came close. Although the characters were shady, I felt like I connected with Dawn the most. Her mannerisms were different than most main characters I've read about. Each character was inscrupulous, and they had their own end game, so it was interesting to see how that interacted with each other. Things would have gone much easier if everyone had been honest with one another, but that's not what would have made this book so engaging. There's always a root cause to the drama, and I wasn't able to determine what it was right away. I'd definitely recommend this book.

I'm an absolute McFadden fan.
But, this one didn't grab me like some of the others.
This one is told in dual POVs, by two female coworkers with way more secrets than you can imagine.
There's of course murder, lies, deceit, and some pretty heavy triggers like bullying and suicide.
Even with all that, a perfect recipe for something magnificent, I just could not connect with these two MCs.
And, I did not get that satisfying gratification in the end, something was just missing.
I'm still giving it 3.5 stars, It was well-written and did have a few twists and eye-opening moments that made me gasp a little.
Will definitely continue reading her books either way.

Frieda has done it again! I felt the story was great however, somewhat predictable! With that being said, I still feel like I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to others. Beware...you will never look at turtles the same way again!

I have been hearing about Freida McFadden about some time, but never had the opportunity to read a book by this author so far. What I have been missing!! I can't praise this book enough! I was immediately captured in this book. It is so well written and the plot unveils bit by bit. It keeps you guessing till the last pages, and the twist at the end - brilliant!! The author made me connect with BOTH characters, Nathalie and Dawn, so it felt I couldn't choose sides - which made this book more amazing. I will definitely check other books by this author, and will definitely recommend this book to others!

I've delved into many of McFadden's novels, and while The Coworker might not top my list of favorites by her, it certainly surpasses Ward D. If you're already acquainted with McFadden's work, you'll find her signature style here, although the setting in a vitamin company adds a unique twist. The recurring quirk with turtles was endearing initially but became a tad overused.

The story revolves around Natalie and Dawn, who work at Vixed, a vitamin company. When Dawn mysteriously disappears, the legal aspects left me slightly perplexed, although I'm no lawyer. It's a light and enjoyable read, perfect for a few entertaining hours, but it's best not to set your expectations too high.

. 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 always enjoy McFadden books!

Many thanks to NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press, and the author for an e-ARC of this book.

Who would’ve thought the supposed victim was the actual villain? Every book that I’ve read by Freida McFadden has had major plot twists that no one would ever expect, and here we are with another one in the books. I enjoyed the exciting title schemes, although it made Dawn extremely weird, but it was cute. However, I am a bit concerned about the topic of bullying. It’s a serious subject for many, but didn’t make things weird in the story at all, just the fact that Dawn held onto this grieving grudge for so long is beyond me.

I would’ve never expected Natalie’s spouses boyfriend was a part of paying back Natalie on the bullying of “his sister Angela,” which I had no clue about as well, never thought he would even consider the weirdness of Dawn and her excessive love for turtles either. Another great read, I’m looking forward to the next book to come.

I loved this book! I will definitely recommend it. Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Thank you so much to Freida McFadden, Poisoned Pen Press, and NetGalley for this ARC of The Coworker. This was my first book to read by McFadden but I had heard so much hype regarding the Housemaid series. As I began to read the book I was starting to feel like I was reading just any other thriller that had been played out but I was so wrong. I didn’t even guess the twists of this book and I loved the writing style. I can’t wait to read the next book that she puts out. I now understand all of the excitement about McFadden’s books! 5/5 stars!

Shy turtle obsessed Dawn is just trying to fit in at her new job where she knows no one. Dawn is Very predictable always on time, almost to the annoying know it all. When she isn't at her desk on time and no one has hear from her, her co worker starts to get concerned.
Natalie is the popular type, everyone loves her, too in sales, she could sell sand at the beach. Once she realized Dawn is no where to be found, she gets worried. Does she try to figure out where Dawn is or just ignore that feeling that something is wrong. Freida had her twists and turns, once again I thought I knew exactly what was happening, but I was so wrong. Another great book with a fast read

A questionable relationship between coworkers leads to an investigation when one turns up missing. It’ll lead you through so many differing views that you won’t know who to believe.
Overall I enjoyed the book but am a bigger fan of some of McFadden’s other books.

I just got done reading this book and wow, it was really good. Freda McFadden always takes you on a journey and escape. I loved reading this book and the ending was a surprise go and get this book you will not be disappointed.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks and The Poisoned Pen Press for an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Freida McFadden is quickly becoming one of my favorite thriller authors. I am working through her books and she has failed to disappoint me yet. In the Coworker we have the disappearance of Dawn Schiff, a coworker of Natalie Farrell. One day Dawn disappears from work and Natalie becomes entangled in finding out what happened to her. This books is very fast paced and I didn’t want to put it down. I was not sure what to think and the author really had me stumped. I just love it when a book stumps me like this because it makes it so much more fun. If you like thrillers then Freida McFadden should be on your list.

This fast-paced psychological thriller was so much fun that I couldn't put it down and read it all last night in one sitting.

Mean girls, bullying, workplace competition, manipulative behavior, secrets, and lies. This will keep you guessing as you rip through the pages wondering what in the heck will happen next. The two main characters, Natalie and Dawn, are so well-drawn that your opinions of them will shift and flip several times through the narrative as each point of view is shared. No spoilers.

You never know who you are working with and an office can be a hotbed of gossip and game-playing. Your coworkers might be quite different outside of the job to the way they act around their colleagues and the boss. If one of them suddenly did something completely unusual you likely would never dream that it might have something to do with you.

Just go in without reading too much about the plot ahead of time and enjoy good storytelling and some crazy twists that you might not guess were coming. I certainly did. I was also so happy this was not part of a series but a standalone.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend.

This book was incredible!! There’s not a single book she’s written that I haven’t devoured! I love how every one of Freida’s books make you think you have it figured out & boom there’s a plot twist!
