I love this author so much, so this was a no brainer for me! Thrilling and fast paced as always, I was second guessing what was going to happen right until the very end! I work in an office, so having one of her books with that setting was a delight for me. I was not disappointed, and you won’t be either!

I was given an advanced reader's copy via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own

This author is one that constantly delivers and never disappoints for me. The kind of books you inhale in one sitting and share with friends, Really great read and the usual twists and shocking turns.

Generally this book was good, but not Freida’s best thriller. I found it a bit predictable. I look forward to reading The Teacher that comes out soon. I will always buy Freida’s books as she’s a favorite author. This one just wasn’t as jaw dropping as usual. I adored the turtles though!

Another amazing read by Freida! She manages to inject a lot of her humour into this book, despite it being a psychological thriller. Fast paced, I read this in one sitting! Dawn is a … quirky main character but I loved her all the same! 4/5 ⭐️, thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks!

Chilling and fast paced. The author does an excellent job of introducing and describing the characters. There are a few twists and I definitely did not want to put it down.
Many thanks to Poisoned Pen Press and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

The coworker was a crazy tale. I honestly was not sure who to root for and who was the villain. Just when I thought I knew what was going on, I was thrown for another loop.

Freida does it again. Always!! I can never guess the twist and I don't even feel like I am reading when I read her books!! 5 stars!!

As someone who has read every book written by Freida McFadden, I was a bit surprised by this one. It, unfortunately, was not one of my favorites but it was still a good read. I did understand the main character and why she was so fascinated with turtles. Had the main character been written any differently it would not have sold that aspect of her. Major props to Freida for this. Look forward to her next book. Thank you NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press, and Freida McFadden for the advance reader copy of this in return for an honest review.

This was really more of a 3.5 than a 4 for me unfortunately.
I had really high hopes here, the cover is absolutely killer and I just finished Never Lie which was a 5 star for me, so I was really going into this thinking it would be another 5 star.

With previous books of hers I've demolished them in 24 hours or less, this one took like 4 days. This book is still really good but it was just a little more predictable and took a long while to build up.

I will say the ending was damn good, she has a thing for secrets and adding an additional extra cherry on top at the end.

4 ⭐️This thriller kept me on my toes the entire time through all its twist and turns in the story. I could not put it down! The complex personalities in this story are addictive. If you like a psychological cat and mouse type thriller then this would be a great book for you!

Thank you NetGalley, Source Books, and Poisoned Pen Press for the early eARC of The Coworker by Freida McFadden in exchange for my honest review.

In true Freida fashion, this was a great fast paced thriller that I couldn’t put down! Every time I thought I had it figured out, there was another twist. This was a quick and easy read that kept me guessing until the end!

Freida McFadden doesn't let us down and this is another book to add to her greatest hits list. The story is fast-paced and propulsive, and as her fans know, the McTwists are sprinkled throughout. The effortless storytelling is what makes this so readable and as we move along and uncover more secrets, the harder it becomes to put this down.
What a shocking finale and fans of her will devour this.

Omg this book was such a fast pace read from begining to end and which such twists. I legit thought I figured it out and Nope I was wrong!! My new favorite book of this author!

This is the first book of Freida’s that I’ve read which is additional to her Housemaid series. I adored those books so was keen to read some of her other thrillers.

This one took me a few chapters to get into at first I wasn’t sure why as it wasn’t the format, as I loved that, I was thinking maybe it was the extensive detail in the emails but I soon came to realise why and by this time I was hitting the quarter way mark and once I had that realisation, I was settled in.

I love the email format, I love how Dawn’s personality and quirks come through so brightly and understoanding her traits and how they made her who she is really adds a deeper level to the story. Her character is written so well, the person she is shines through McFadden’s writing especially with other character interactions with her.

There is also one other great character, you can understand their frustrations and the want to be successful, however you can’t help hate them regarding their part in the story. Don’t want to say too much or give spoilers.

What I really loved was the two timelines. You know you are reaching ‘the’ point as you read and as the two timelines interlink you realise how bloody good the book really is.

Everything is perfectly concluded and I loved the ending despite the anxiety I was feeling as I progressed through the book.

I did guess a couple of twists pretty early in the story but as I progressed I loved how it all came together. I just loved the book for the pure brilliance that it was and how the author orchestrated it.

Fabulous story and I’m really glad I stuck with it.

I have fallen down a Freida McFadden rabbit hole this year and wow what a wonderful trip it is. This is one of my new favorites by her (second only to Never Lie). This is a twisty book that makes you second-guess everything you thought you knew. It was unputdownable up until the very last page. You will finish this book and just stare at the ceiling thinking about it for a long time after.

In typical Freida fashion this kept me constantly guessing and unable to put this book down. Dawn is such a sweet though quirky person. She has never fit in anywhere, struggles to make friends, and is always the weird one. She never seems to have similar interests as others and lives by a strict never wavering schedule until one day she just disappears.

Natalie is the coworker that doesn’t necessarily befriend Dawn but she is friendly enough to her. Or is she? Nothing is what it seems and when blood is discovered I’m Dawn’s house craziness ensues. Who is responsible for her murder? You’ll never guess.

This is my 5th Freida McFadden book and probably my least favorite. I still really enjoyed it and loved the ending, it’s just not my favorite of hers but still enjoyable

This is my favorite Freida read so far! Enjoyable, quirky characters, with lots of twists and turns. Read it in 2 days, which was tough to do with a stubborn potty-training 2 year old. And I think turtles will always make me think of this book! lol. I will definitely recommend this book to family and friends as a quick, fun, easy read.

Another great book by Freida McFadden. This wasn't my favorite but I really enjoyed it. Never Lie will always be my number one :-)

The more I read of Freida McFadden the more I like her. Like Locked Door this one kept me guessing. The Coworker centers around Dawn Schiff-the oddball new hire who just can't seem to fit in, and Natalie the office "It" Girl who shares the cubicle right next to hers. Their fates are intertwined when Dawn goes missing and as her disappearance is investigated more and more about Natalie and Vixed (the workplace they share) starts to come to light. So, the downside to this book is that even though Dawn is an oddball, her actions make her not very likeable and Natalie is blatantly just not likeable by her attitude and actions so its hard to feel that satisfaction of the baddie getting their just desserts when the protagonist throws up huge red flags too. What does work well here is the perspectives of the characters being shared make it so you really can't guess whose version of events is the correct one, and that ups the intensity factor enough for it to be an enjoyable read. If fast-paced juicy thriller reads are your thing this is probably one you'll want to try.
