I always love a fast-paced thriller that keeps me on my toes and this book was that and more. The character development was spot on, especially that of Nora and I looked forward to reading the chapters that took place during Nora’s childhood.
In typical Freida fashion, I was constantly questioning how this book was going to end, having multiple theories until the very last page. She’s also so good with those mic drops 😮‍💨. If you’re a Freida fan, this one did not disappoint and I definitely recommend. If you’ve never read a Freida book I highly recommend you pick one of her books up!

Thank you NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press and Freida McFadden for a #gifted ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is the best book I've read by the author to date (only read 3 so far, so luckily have many more).
I was kept guessing to the very end, and was transfixed from cover to cover, not wanting it to end.
It will have you questioning everything and everyone, including the ones you shouldn't.
Or should you?

This book… left me speechless. I honestly don’t even know what to say right now. The way I kept flipping through every chapter wanting to know the truth and about Nora’s past. Everything kept getting revealed and still coming up with all these theories in my mind but to be completely wrong. I thought it was Henry at first, then Brady, then literally Philip but for it to be Harper? Talk about a freaking plot twist that I did not see coming. I seriously enjoyed this book and finished it in one day. Freida never fails. Her books are always so interesting and always wanting to read more.

4.25 stars

Another enjoyable thriller where I wasn’t able to figure out the big twist(s) until getting right to the end of the narrative; I love that. This was a fun, dramatic, and descriptive story that pulled me in quickly and kept me interested until it finished. So far, I’m really liking what I’ve read from this writer, and I’ll be waiting to see what intriguing elements her next book contains.

I have recently gone down a rabbit hole of Freida's books, and this one did not disappoint. There were dual POV - current day and 26 years prior. I enjoyed the way the two were intertwined and how the story developed. It was complex and the whole time, I was unsure what to believe opr think. I love an unreliable narrator!I did not predict the ending AT ALL! I never saw any of the twists coming. I definitely recommend this to thriller readers.

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen for an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I received this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion and review. I love a good thriller and this one was no exception. the twists and turns were so good and I was still surprised by the ending.

3.5 stars rounded up.
I loved a good book with a medical twist. To me it read like every other book from this author.
Not too complex but twisty and thriller enough to keep me reading late into the night. I saw the twist coming but maybe not every tiny aspect of it. Which was just fine with me.
I’ll keep reading each new book she publishes!!

Everything a great book should be! Thoroughly enjoyed it and there were so many curves I didn't see coming! Keep up the amazing work Freida ❤️

Growing up, there was one big rule. Don’t try to go in the basement. At 11, Nora finds out why. Her father is kidnapping, torturing, and killing women instead of “building things in his workshop.” It’s been years, and Nora is now a successful surgeon while he father rots in jail. When two of her patients wind up dead I the same way her father killed, she is an immediate suspect. Nora knows someone is framing her…but why? How do they even know who she is?

McFadden’s books are always amazingly quick reads, and great slump busters. Needless to say, I was excited to pick this one up. I found myself rooting for Nora, and coming to many of the same conclusions she did about who could be trying to frame her for these murders. As with all of McFaddens novels, this story moved quickly and kept me on my toes. I really enjoyed this one, and if you have enjoyed her books in the past I highly recommend grabbing a copy!

I couldn't put down The Locked Door! This novel follows a successful surgeon, Nora Davis. But Nora is hiding an intense path and is constantly worried she will follow in her father's footsteps. A twist at the end I did not see coming, kept me guessing throughout the entire book!

Thank you, NetGalley, for an advanced copy of this novel!

Loved the multi timelines and the twist at the end!
I think the pace was great and made every chapter a page turner.

An easy to read fast paced thriller! My second Freida McFadden book where I enjoyed the switch between past and present timelines to unravel the story. This book left me wanting to know more about the characters to make their motives more believable throughout the book which made it difficult to root for Nora & left me with more questions to make the plot twist make sense.

However, I didn’t guess the plot twist & the short chapters made this a page turner so worth a read if you want a quick thriller!

3/5
Alright, let's spill the tea about this book! I'm not usually into this genre, but hey, it kind of won me over.

The characters were well written and it was an okay book. I liked the story line and the plot twist, however the book didn't stand out that much to me. I liked that the book was easy to read and the
I am however confident to say that this book has opened up my eyes to Freida McFaddens book and I will continue reading her books now.
I think I would recommend this to some of my friends.

I absolutely love this! Freida is the queen of psychological thrillers and always has the best twists. One of my favorite reads of 2023! Thanks NetGalley, Freida McFadden, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC

Love all books by Frieda McFadden!
This book had me from the beginning! Definitely hard to put down. 5 stars !!

I have enjoyed every Freida McFadden book that I have read and The Locked Door is no exception. This book will keep you guessing until the very end. I highly recommend this fast paced thriller.

Loved this book but didn’t realize I already read it. Not sure why this was on NetGalley since it’s not a new book.

Friedas books never disappoint. Just when you think you have it figured out plot twist! Nora is a surgeon whose dad is a serial murderer in jail. Nora’s patients start showing up dead with her dads signature on them. I change my mind a dozen times on whodunit. Perfect spooky season read

I've become hooked on this new to me author. I've been happy to discover that so many others have also become hooked and many of her titles are more easily accessible and also being re-highlighted. I understand this is one of her older titles and I'm glad I was able to read and review. This story was as page turning and interesting as the others I've read so far. A premise set in hidden rooms, inquiring minds, and family secrets, this one will be sure to keep you up until the end. You're never really sure who to suspect and what the real story is, until it all unfolds in the end and what you thought you knew is flipped upside down. If you're looking for a quick, suspenseful read, this is a great choice!

Everyone always wonders if a serial killers family knew what he or she was doing and that story explores some answers to that question. Well-written characters and a fast paced plot with a twist and turn thrown in there made for a very excellent quick read. I voluntarily reviewed an advance readers copy of this book.
