Another great thriller read by Frieda as an excellent follow up to The Housemaid. A page turning keep you on your toes book.

I cannot get enough from this author.
I loved this book, the characters were so dark and everyone was scheming their asses off.
This also reminded me a little of that TV show Prodigal Son
That show played havoc on my psyche and so did this book. Well done

3.5 🌟’s. one of those thrillers you read in one sitting (but are we surprised it is Freida McFadden after all). was a pretty slow burn at the beginning. i loved that there were so many people that you suspected did it. kept me on my toes and i loved that! a pretty dark read (serial killer, surgeon/gory a little, basement scariest) but overall a very fun, quick read.

Frieda McFadden is impeccable with how she writes her stories always full of twists and turns! Each book keeps me on my toes and guessing.
I could not put this one down!!
What a story, left me gobsmacked! If you haven’t read Locked Door or any of Frieda’s other books I suggest you add them to your TBR immediately because you will love them all!!

I get the appeal of her books. She wrote straight, direct packed punches of a thriller. For those who are looking for thriller with twists, just you mindlessly following the story you may like this. For me, it left something more to be craved as I wasnt as satisfied with the book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Poisoned Press for the e arc

I enjoyed this book and definitely did not see the twist at the end. It was fast paced and it kept my interest throughout.

Frieda is a quick read which I enjoy this time of year. But, the books are hard to put down and this was no exception. Kept me guessing through the whole things and the ending definitely threw me a bit. You won’t be disappointed.

My first book by Freida McFadden but certainly not my last one! It surprised me in many ways. It has fast pacing, unforgettable main character, a ton of plot twists and simple writing style. Voilà, you have a perfect "popcorn" thriller on your hands. Pick this up for a portion of entertainment that is probably forgettable in the long term, but will not leave you with the bitter aftertaste in the short term. Perfect for a Saturday night in!

I have enjoyed all of Freida’s books and this one was no exception. A quick read that sucked me in and had me flying through to get to the end. It wasn’t a twisty thriller but there was definite mystery and intrigue.

Dr. Nora is stuck in the middle of her father’s serial killer history and the mysterious deaths of her patients. It’s easy to question if Nora has anything to do with the deaths. If it’s not her, someone clearly knows who her father is.

Thank you NetGalley for my ARC of this book.

I loved this book. Freida is one of my favorite mystery/thriller offers because she truly catches me off guard every time. There were several times during this book where I thought I had it figured out, but I was truly surprised by the ending.

Something I also appreciate in a thriller, is being left on a cliff hanger after every chapter - it makes me want to keep reading because I have to know the answer, and Freida does this in a lot of her books.

Can't wait to read everything else she puts out in 2024!

As always, Freida McFadden sucks the reader into The Locked Door from the very first chapter. This book is packed full of twists, suspense, and tension! I wanted to skip ahead so badly just to see where the story was going and I love that McFadden's writing makes you feel so invested.

This was a good read, it started with a bang which completely drew me in. I must admit whenever a book starts like this, it does leave me wondering where is this going to go for the next couple of 100 pages.

The middle did feel like it was dragging a bit, the same situation happening over and over and I found the main character a little bit annoying. My last read was also by Freida and felt the same with that one too, so maybe it’s just her writing style that I struggle with, but her ideas are amazing!

The twist at the end was a total shock, I was not expecting it at all! This is the main reason why I have given this 4 stars!

"The Locked Door" by Freida McFadden is a chilling and captivating read that will leave you breathless. From the very first page, I was drawn into the dark and twisted world of Nora Davis, an unsuspecting daughter of a serial killer. As the story unfolds, McFadden skillfully reveals more about Nora's past, keeping me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The plot is masterfully crafted, full of twists and turns that will leave readers guessing until the final reveal. McFadden's writing is both haunting and beautiful, making this book a must-read for any fan of psychological thrillers.

Im a huge fan of McFadden but found this book to be disappointing. I did not connect with Nora, nor did the scenarios appear believable. Giving this title 3 stars because I was interested enough to finish it but I was not satisfied with this story.

This was the first McFadden that had me guessing until the shocking end! I think that fans will really enjoy this title as well as new thriller readers.

This is one of Frieda McFadden's best novels. It is about a woman, Nora who's father was arrested for killing many young women. It is a story of intrigue and has lots of twists and turns. Nora is a surgeon and lives a very lonely solitary life. It seems she is afraid of everything. Nora's life starts to unravel when she finds out one of her patients has been murdered. And then another one and the murders are just like the way her father did them--same style and the women look like his "type". This is when the novel gets good and has lots of twists and turns and a suprise ending! I recommend this book--it will keep you awake!

I can see what the hype is about with Freida McFadden because I was pretty captivated by this book from the beginning but the ending fell a little short for me. I did like trying to figure out whether or not Nora was following in her fathers footsteps and being a copy cat killer. I’m eager to read more from her soon!

Somehow this was my first book by freida McFadden but it won’t be my last!

Such a clever and interesting mystery/thriller - it was so engaging from start to finish. There was even a bit of humour in there too to make the read even easier.

This book will keep you on your toes the whole way though. It was so easy to keep reading because of the short chapters and wanting to know more. The plot twist was amazing!! I won’t say any more as I don’t want to spoil it but wow!

This is a great read and you should definitely give it a chance. Overall it was a quick easy and enjoyable read.
