Freida's at it again with the twists, I see! I'm not complaining (maybe my sleep schedule is, but we don't talk about that here). I absolutely loved this read, and didn't want it to end! I love the storytelling that Freida puts into her work, and the level of anticipation she gives us, and this read was no exception. Amazing work!!!

Excellent book with an amazing twist at the end! Freida McFadden books always have that “ I did NOT see that coming” factor that I Love! Thank you for the publisher and net galley for an ARC of this book!

I read this book a while ago, and it stays with you. So compelling, so twisty, and it made be a Freida McFadden fan for life!

Freida McFadden NEVER disappoints. Definitely a must read, one of my favorite Freida books ~ kept me on the tips of my toes, finished this in one sitting!

Another Freida McFadden @fmcfaddenauthor book I read recently was The Locked Door and of course I highly recommend it! Another one that kept me guessing! I didnt know if the main protagonist Nora, a successful surgeon was telling the truth or not! I changed my mind multiple times while reading this one and I'm sure you will do the same!

When Nora was 11 years old her father was arrested for the murders of women he was killing down in the basement of their family home. He will spend his life in prison. Nobody knows Nora is the daughter of a serial killer.. not until....

Years later, when one of Nora's patients is found murdered in the same horrific way her father killed his victims. Someone knows who she is and wants her to take the fall for their doings..the police are on her trail... but hopefully the police don't look in her basement!

Another gripping read with twists that I did not see coming! Freida never fails to suck me in and keep me in suspense!

Thank you to @netgalley and @poisonedpenpress for the ecopy

Kept me engaged after the 1/3 point, but I was expecting a bigger wow factor. Also, I need to know- why was there screams coming from Brady’s apartment- we never found out?! Definitely not my favorite from Freida, but still entertaining

This was a quick read.

I enjoyed the twist at the end, in that she had a relative she didn’t know existed.

There weren’t many plot holes in this book but I did get the feeling that Phillip definitely got the short end of the stick in this story.

Classic Freida. I loved it! Fast paced, bingeable short chapters which I loved. While it was stressful at times and I would have liked a little more character development, it was good!

Wow. I just finished The Locked Door by Freida McFadden, and my mind is trying to collect my thoughts. First. I received a free eARC of this book from Netgalley, but also purchased a physical copy so I can reread it again and annotate the next go around.

Nora is the daughter of the Handyman, a serial killer spending life in prison for his crimes. Nora changed her name and became a very successful surgeon. The story switches between present day and 26 years previously. The flashback chapters explore Nora's childhood relationships and her father's crimes.

This is a fast paced psychological thriller with some amazing red herrings placed. I highly recommend if your in the mood for a bingable mystery.

Dr. Nora Davis did not have the most normal upbringing. Growing up an only child in a family that kept a "locked door", one from which she noticed smells and sounds emanating. When her father is arrested after an anonymous tip, and it is disovered that he is a serial killer, Nora leaves her old life, family, and name behind and never looks back. Until, that is, someone is determined for her to revisit her past.

I love Freida McFadden's books for their twists and turns, dark humor, and jaw-dropping conclusions. While this one was not my favorite (The Housemaid), I really enjoyed it! Ms. McFadden's writing is smart, fun and addicting and this book was no less of a page turner than any others! There are lots of red-herrings along the way, and I was not able to put this book down.

Special thank you to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for this advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

I know a lot of people have read Freida McFadden and I’ve heard a lot of great things about her, but I haven’t read any of her books until this and wow! I will definitely be reading more of her books! I’m a fan of psychological thrillers and when you have a protagonist who is the daughter of a serial killer it sets a great stage. I absolutely loved this book and would recommend to others looking for something with some great suspense, not super predictable, and an awesome dual timeline, this is it!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Freida McFadden did it again! This is for sure a page turner that will keep you up at night. I finished the book in about 2 sittings! This book follows a surgeon who is the daughter of a serial killer. If you love psychological thrillers… read this, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me a free eBook for this story!

Freida McFadden did it again with this one. It’s truly a delightfully disturbing tale—one moment I’m laughing at the characters’ effortless witty dialogue and the next I’m shuddering as the disturbing story unfolds.

This is one that can easily be devoured in a single sitting. Though I did find the ending a bit predictable, I enjoyed the pacing of the book and the way it had me second guessing myself throughout. Bonus points because the story alternates between the past and present, giving a “dual type” perspective while remaining in a single character’s POV.

Definitely recommend this morbidly fascinating tale—a great spooky season read!

I loved this psychological thriller. It is a dual timeline story that follows Dr Nora in the present and when she was younger. You knew where it was headed in one timeline because 🚩🚩🚩 were dropped everywhere, including the title. This confronts the beast that is nature vs nurture, and how kids can end up very much different when raised by the same people, even if one of the parents is a serial killer 🤷🏼‍♀️

Dr Nora is a successful surgeon, and has hidden the fact that her father is a serial killer. No one knows, and that’s the way she likes it, she just wants to operate on people and fix them. He is locked away in prison, so when Dr Nora discovers one of her patients died in the same manner her father liked to kill his victims, she immediately becomes a suspect. She doesn’t kill people though, so as long as the police don’t look in her basement she will be fine.

If you’re looking for a fast paced page turner this is it. FM books are such an easy read, I can’t put them down. This one follows the daughter of a serial killer. He’s doing life in prison, when it appears there’s a copycat. The question is, is she like her father? I’ll leave it at the to avoid spoilers but this is worth the read.

This was my first book by this author. It was entertaining, suspenseful, engaging story. From the first chapter to the last it kept my attention and just when I thought it would end predictably, it surprised me. I definitely recommend this book and look forward to my next read!

Freida freaking rocked my socks off with this book. This is definitely her best writing yet. I loved getting to know Dr. Nora and her complex back story. I want MORE of Dr. Nora! There were some excellent red herrings in this story that kept me guessing until the very end when the twist stunned me. I read this book in one night! The whole thing! I couldn't put it down.

“The locked door”

Yes, she did it again. Just when you think the author will be short of plot twists , she delivers another incredible one.

Although written before “The handmaid” series, this book brings elements that are even superior to the ones used later. It is gripping to the last line.

Nora is a neurosurgeon born to one of the most horríble serial killers ever. Now, 26 years later, someone is copycatting her father’s M.O. Can she escape from this new threat? Can she prove to everybody and to herself that bloodlines aren’t that important?

Another mind blowing thriller from this author

The twists not me like always.

I states uphill night to finish b this thriller.

The store has been selling her books and this one is no exception.

4 stars a must read

thanks you Net Galley the pie and author for the great read.

First off anything written by Freida is amazing. I have made it a mission to try and figure out where the story is going with every one of her books. NOPE. Just when you think you know a twist or turn smacks you right in the face! I purchased a hard copy of this book as well.
