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.

Nora Davis the daughter of a serial killer has grown into a successful women while her father sits behind bars. However after one of her patients is killed Nora wonders who found out about her past.

This was one of my favorite Frida books. Frida always delivers in her twists and implicating everyone in the crimes. The flashbacks were very creepy! My only issue is the endings can sometimes feel rushed or anticlimactic.

Thanks to NetGalley for an ACR of The Locked Door!

Strong 3,5 stars.

The Locked Door is a relatively short, fast-paced mystery that although doesn't serve anything new, still makes for a pleasurable read,

The author's writing style is simple but that only helps to keep you turning the pages, eager to uncover what is going to happen to the main protagonist, Nora.. However, I found myself anticipating the ending well before its revelation, which diminished the element of surprise that I often seek in mystery novels.

The pacing is generally well-executed, though there are moments where the plot gets repetitive, potentially hindering the overall experience. It's a quick read that will keep you entertained and it goes perfectly with the current Halloween-y mood.

Freida McFadden is definitely an author I have grown to love as of lately and you can always count on her books to be a solid thriller!

Aaron Nierling is a well known serial killer known as the Handyman, but to Nora, he’s just dad.

The story is told from the POV of a serial killers daughter and I found it so interesting and addicting right from the first chapter! It flashes back and forth between the past and present, 26 years after Aaron was found out and arrested.

It was a quick read and very hard to put down! I was invested in the story and had many theories as I was reading as to what was going on and overall, I enjoy this one and it’s a great spooky season read!

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Locked Door was my first Freida McFadden novel and I can’t wait to read her others.

Nora is a successful surgeon who is living a seemingly normal quiet life however she holds a secret that she is actually the daughter of a notorious serial killer. She has managed to keep her secret until suddenly two of her patients are murdered in the same fashion as her father and then everything starts to unravel.

This was such a quick and easy read for me I just flew through it and couldn’t put it down once I’d started it. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading thrillers.

I want to thank Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press, an imprint of Sourcebooks, Inc for generously providing me with this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love Freida McFadden’s books and this one fell perfectly in line! This was the character development and typical unexpected twist that you don’t see coming. Great read and was hard to put down.

I love everything Frieda writes. But this one just didn't hit like her others. I felt the ending was very rushed and came out of left field. I know her twists are what we love. But this one, I was like where did that even come from? iBut other than that, it was really good. and doesn't change how i feel about frieda. and I would def still recommend this one to others.

This was my first book by this author. It wasn’t too bad. Kinda bounced around on who Nora really was.

I LOVE Freida McFadden. I’ve read a lot of hers and still have a lot left to go and nothing has been disappointing thus far.

I’ve seen a lot of Readahs say that this one is as good, if not better than Never Lie. I don’t agree with that, BUT it is still so good!

26 Years ago, Nora’s parents were put in jail. Her father was a serial killer who killed upwards of 30 women and was committed for 15. And he did it all in his basement. Nora changed her last name and began a successful surgeon, but now her patients are turning up dead and the killer has the same MO as her father. But isn’t he in jail?!

I haven’t read anything from Freida that has a specific plot line involving a serial killer before and I’m a true crime junkie, so I was really looking forward to this one. It was really good and the perfect spooky, eerie, serial killer read for spooky season!

If you haven’t read anything from McFadden yet, you need to get started. I’m convinced it doesn’t matter what she writes , it’s going to be EPIC!

Freida McFadden does it again! What a great book. I truly had no idea where it was going to go and I was SHOCKED with the ending. I love how easy of a read this is too. You can definitely not this out in a day! It holds your attention from the first page to the last. I would highly recommend to add this to your TBR!

Omg I devoured this book. Freida really outdid herself with this one. She is great at keeping the reader guessing and the twist!!! I really thought I knew how it was going to end but I was taken for a loop.

I didn't realize this was a re-release, but I still enjoyed reading again! I am so glad McFadden is finally gaining in popularity. Much deserved!

This book was cleverly written. From the 1st person vantage point, it immediately draws you in, and just when you think you have figured the mystery out, HUGE twist. The suspense keeps you guessing. It is a truly amazing book. It's the first that I have read from Frieda McFadden,and you can guarantee that I will be reading more!
