Once again Frieda does it. This fast paced thriller will keep you guessing and she has done a great job in creating various red flags where you will doubt every character and the final reveal will make you surprised.
Definitely recommend this !

“The Locked Door” by Frieda McFadden is a fast paced psychological thriller than you can easily read in a day! I love picking up a Frieda McFadden book to get me out of a reading slump! She always delivers! This one was no different, it has a very interesting plot based on the daughter of a serial killer. The plot twist at the end completely got me! Thank you so much to publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

I would like to thank NetGalley, Freida McFadden, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this re-release in exchange for my honest review.
This book packed a punch!
The main character, Nora, is a surgeon who has changed her name due to her father being a convicted and notorious serial killer from over 2 decades ago.
There is a copycat killer who is killing her patients and trying to frame her.
There are several people that Freida makes you think it could be.
Is Nora innocent? If she is, will she still be framed for 2 murders?

This was a fun ride and I could hardly put this book down! I love pretty much anything by Freida McFadden and was excited that this was an opportunity!

How do you cope with a serial killer for a dad and a mother who committed suicide because of it? 26 years after his arrest, a copycat comes to town. I loved this one. It's only my second Fredia book, but so far my favorite. I never saw that twist coming, as I was reading i really thought Nora did it and was hiding it. The line about the apple not falling far from the tree sold me on that theory. I'm definitely hooked on her books now.

I’m obsessed with anything & everything Freida writes. I loved The Housemaid & The Housemaid’s Secret. I started this book & finished it in the same day. I could not put it down. I thought I had the ending figured out but typical Freida-threw me for a loop. Absolutely a great thriller that will leave you biting your nails & wanting to know what happens next!

Nora Davis has secrets. Secrets about her past. Secrets that have haunted her and continue to do so. Has her past finally caught up to her?

Oh, Freida McFadden. I adore your books! The Locked Door was no exception! What a great psychological thriller! I couldn't put the book down! Lots of twists and turns that I wasn't expecting.
Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of The Locked Door!

Nora’s father is in prison. Also known as “ the Handyman”, he is a notorious serial killer.
Nora escapes being known as the daughter of a killer by becoming a surgeon.
All is going fine, until a copycat killer appears.

This was a ‘seat of your pants’ thriller. McFadden writes quick chapters that pull in the reader, with lots of twists!
Good book!
4 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Holy wow! This book! I loved the concept the book and how it followed a serial killers daughter and how for the longest she thought she was just like her murderous father. I did not see that twist coming in the end and was shocked!! I am really becoming a fan of Freida McFadden and will be checking out more of her books as they are thrilling and relatively quick and engrossing reads.

MY THOUGHTS:

I did enjoy this book- Nora's dad as a serial killer was a majorly interesting plot point. I didn't like Nora- she was so mean to Brady! I mean we've all got our issues but at least be kind to people you're clearly using. I saw the ending coming, but still liked reading along. There were some parts in hindsight that very obviously tried to lead readers to think one way, but they seemed too in-your-face to be believable. Still a short chapter, quick read that held my attention.

This book was a quick and captivating read. I was hooked from the beginning, as the story follows the child (now an adult surgeon) of a serial killer. The story is told with chapters switching back and forth from the main characters childhood to now. I liked this because it gave the reader more of the story as you were reading and kept you guessing since you didn’t know the entire history. I didn’t really like the ending that much because of the way things tied up and ended neatly. I also wish there was a bit more character development but this may have been on purpose to keep you guessing since you didn’t know who to trust. Overall a good quick read!

To eleven year old Nora Davis, her dad, is just her dad. A normal dad with a normal, even respectable job, a normal wife, and a normal family. That is, when he’s not killing women in his basement. Nora loves her father, until she’s the one to find this out.

Twenty six years later, Nora Davis is now the surgeon Nora Nierling, distant from her serial-killer father in terms of emotions, location, and even her new name. She is skillful at separating her father’s past from her present, but what happens when someone starts killing her patients in exactly the same way her father killed his victims? Read “The Locked Door” to find out. ;)

I will start with a full disclaimer: this genre normally isn’t my genre, but Freida McFadden had me forgetting that. This book is extremely hard to put down and impossible to stop thinking about. I had multiple theories about who the killer was, and all of them were wrong! Every twist and turn in this book threw me for a loop, in the best of ways. It’s unpredictable without being unreasonable, twisty without being erratic. I love the effortless parallels the author drew between Nora and her father.

It’s worth noting that as a narrator, Nora is fairly unlikable, and definitely LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD <spoiler> somewhat unreliable </spoiler>. (SPOILERS OVER) However, I like reading about unlikable people, as long as they’re interesting, and no one can accuse Nora of being boring.

Tl;de Four stars! Would absolutely recommend, and the twists will take you for a ride.

Like Freida McFadden’s other thrillers, I really enjoyed this one. I wish the book would have added a little more information in the flashbacks, but overall I was very interested.
Nora is the daughter of the Handyman, a notorious serial killer in Oregon. 26 years after her father’s arrest, she has changed her name, moved and became a successful surgeon. Nora lives under the radar, keeping others at an arms length to protect her secret… until a copycat killer begins framing her.
I enjoyed the relationship between Nora and Brady and the looming serial killer gene. I did not see the twist coming, nor did I guess the ending, which always makes for the best reads!

Wow! I have read a few of Freida McFadden’s books and have enjoyed them but I feel like this was at a whole different level. I read the book quickly because I needed to know how it ended. Nora Davis is a successful surgeon who has established a life away from where she grew up. She changed her name and no one has known who she is for the past 26 years. The police question Nora because two women she has treated in her practice are found murdered. The police know who she is….it turns out Nora Davis is actually Nora Nierling and Nora’s father is currently spending life in prison for killing women in her childhood basement. Nora has worked hard to get away from her father’s legacy. Now, the police think Nora is following in her father’s footsteps.

I really enjoyed this book the pace was fast with plenty going on throughout the book and the ending was very good this was my first book by Freida but definitely won't be my last

Nora is a surgeon, but before that she was the daughter of a notorious serial killer. And when a copycat killer surfaces, targeting her patients, it looks like Nora's history is coming back to haunt her ...

This is a very good thriller with lots of gripping twists. I couldn't put it down, and it kept me guessing right to the end!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

I find Freida’s books to be fast paced and easy to read. I liked the whole daughter of a serial killer aspect of this book. It made it interesting to try and put the pieces together. I also enjoyed the plot twists that I didn’t see coming.

Thank you to Freida McFadden, Poisoned Pen Press, and Netgalley for a free copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest review.

This is my first time reading a book by Frieda McFadden. I was not disappointed. I received this as an arc through Netgalley and am providing an honest review. I could not put this book down. I loved every bit of it. I love the twists. Every time I thought I figured it out new information would be presented and I would second guess my theories. This book is great for those that love crime/Thriller stories.

Interesting premise…do the children of serial killers inherit the traits of their parents? The Locked Door kept me engaged but I was left wishing I liked at least one of the characters. Nora seemingly was on the spectrum from a very young age - brilliant but unable to relate well with others. Of course, living in the household she was living in would bring on many emotional issues. There were twists and turns - some predictable and others not. The ending was a surprise. I did have a lot of questions when I finished…one important one was the reports made by Brady’s neighbors.
Freida McFadden knows how to keep readers engaged and reading “just one more chapter”.
Many many thanks to Freida McFadden for a few hours of nail biting reading, Hollywood Upstairs Press, and NetGalley for affording me the opportunity to read an arc of this just published read. Keep writing Freida McFadden!

"The Locked Door" by Freida McFadden follows Nora in her adult life as a surgeon, being framed for murders of two of her patients in the same style as her serial killer father who has been imprisoned since she was young. It is told in dual timeline which gives you perspective on how Nora grew up and what's going on in the story.

This book felt like watching a movie to me. I was very intrigued the whole time and when I couldn't be reading, the story was still on my mind. It was very twisty and unpredictable for me. I found myself doubting the main character and suspecting everyone before we actually found out who the culprit was. I did not see anything coming and possibilities were popping into my head about where the book was going that weren't even close.

"The Locked Door" is a fast, easy read that I would highly suggest to fans of psychological suspense thrillers. I really enjoyed this and if a movie were made of this, I'd watch it for sure.
