This book is one of my favorite of Frieda’s. I have read almost all of her books now. I read this in one day

I liked the twist at the end and how she set multiple up to look like the culprit. The plot was solid, suspenseful, and twisty. The wording just seemed over-simplified…very basic and more of a tell-not-show variety - not what I’ve grown accustomed to from McFadden at all. Hence the star deduction. I’d give it 3.5 rounded up.

This book was okay like all of this authors other books. This book and the twists are going to suck readers right in.

Freida McFadden is one of the best at a binge worthy read and this one had me in on the first page!
The story follows Nora, a successful surgeon, who her patients love. Suddenly, quite a few of her patients, are dying. And they're not dying just any way. They're dying in the same way an old serial killer used to kill. But there's no way it could be him, he's been locked up for years right? And no one here knows that, right? That was so long ago when Nora opened the basement door to find out her father was the man killing girls when she was just a young girl.

McFadden had me hooked from the first page on this twisty and turny novel. Watch Nora go on a manhunt to find out who is responsible for these murders before it's to late.

The Locked Door was an easy-read. Psychological thriller with just enough twists to keep me guessing to the end.

Nora, daughter of a serial killer, finds herself at the centre of multiple murder investigations 26 years after her father's incarceration due to their chilling likeness in MO.

Nora is an unreliable narrator who will keep you guessing, whilst the remainder of the characters lack enough depth to make the book truly thrilling.

3 stars ⭐⭐⭐

Special thanks to Netgalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is a pretty standard Frieda book- twists and turns, suspense... everything you love about her writing.

I recommend giving it a read!

Frieda McFadden is an author I can always rely on for a nice juicy twist at the right time!

The Locked Door is a propulsive thriller with interesting characters. I wondered often how involved Nora may have been in her father’s crimes (in a Dexter Morgan, sort of way, and I’m happy with the direction the author took with her. The epilogue brought it home for me.

I love Freida McFadden, but I didn’t like The Locked Door as much as I thought I would. The main reason? It wasn’t convincing enough. The premise of the story was great: is Nora a serial killer like her father? I just found the plot to be poorly executed and the character of Nora too unrealistic.

The Locked Door
By Freida McFadden

Thank you to NetGalley and Poison Pen Press for the copy of this title in turn for my honest review.

How can you not like Freida McFaddens stories? Freida knows how to grip you and draw you into her stories.

Nora is a little girl growing up with what she thought was a normal life until the one night her dad finds her behind the locked door.

As an adult, Nora has left that whole life behind her. Then one night one of her patients was found murdered the same way her father killed all those girls years ago. Nora’s changed her name so no one would know her relation to such a horrible man. Who knows her secret? Who is killing her patients?

This is such a great story, thank you for allowing me to read and review it.

Freida McFadden is an auto buy for me! I’ve been looking for something just as good as The housemaid by her! This one was great! Definitely recommend if you like thrillers. Kept me on my toes and wasn’t too predictable.

The Locked Door. My fellow readers. Wow what and awesome performance played out by the killer. This is a book that took me deep into the mind of a doctor. A doctor who was actually driving her own self insane.
It reminded me of some instances with the reading of Edgar Allen Poe and his writing. In this scenario it’s Nora and her practice as a doctor. I loved all of the interesting characters. The characters that remained on my radar are Brady and Phillip. They seemed so cocky and sure of themselves. That’s the good stuff that made the book all the more interesting to read.
Good move with the pink girls room. It reminded me of a certain movie. Nora’s character was the key to unlocking many doors to the different characters and their story. I honestly believed that Nora was a vigilante. I just thought that her character was amazing.
The plot was perfectly told. Many parts of the storyline worked flawlessly with the subplot to Nora’s story. I enjoyed the suspense and the drama. The entertainment was exceptionally good. The writing is superb.
I give this story two snaps and a, what about the screams from the apartment? Until next time my fellow reader. Read on! I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I've heard so many great things about this author so when I finally got the chance to read one of her books, you best believe that I jumped at it. Zero hesitation.

Now I'm regretting my decision because I want all of the books now lol. Bank account is not happy with me.

This book was everything I expected and so much more. I couldn't put it down once I started. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

I love all of Freida McFadden's books, I'm just going to be honest! The Locked Door was another no-brainer for me. I am always impressed by the twist and turns of her writing and she manages to keep me guessing. This one in particular was interesting as I wasn't sure who to trust and who not to trust - including our narrator. I would recommend this to fans of Ms. McFadden's previous writing, including the Housemaid Parts 1 and 2!

Let’s first start by saying I’m a big Freida McFadden fan. Any thriller where I don’t see the end/twist coming will warrant a 5 star review and The Locked Door did not disappoint.

I was so determined I knew who the killer was that I was starting to get disappointed in the book lol. I was pleasantly surprised.

As always I highly recommend this book and Freida McFadden if you love psychological thrillers.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishing house, and the author for allowing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I've been on a Freida reading streak. This one was OK. Not my favorite of hers but I'm glad I read it. It wasn't disappointing. I enjoy her shorter chapters and her writing style is easy to read.

Freida McFadden's books never cease to amaze me! I have read so many and yet they are all so different. The Locked Door was a thriller full of twists that I couldn't even guess. I love the way everything tied up in the end, leaving no loose ends.

When Nora was 11 her father was arrested for murdering women. Twenty-six years later, Nora is a surgeon keeping her past a secret.

I love it when a thriller has short, action-packed chapters and this one delivered! I wanted to keep reading just one more chapter to see what would happen next. I loved that I thought I knew the twist but I was wrong! The misdirections were well executed. I do wish there was a bit more character development though because I felt that I didn't feel as connected to Nora as I would have liked.

Overall I give it a 3.75/5. It was a good, quick read with a compelling story!

Thank you NetGalley and Poisonwood Press for the complimentary digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is one of my favorites by Frieda McFadden! Twisty, thought-provoking, and entertaining from start to finish!

Thank you to the publisher!

Freida never disappoints!!! Her twists keep on twisting and I’m so excited for this book to become available for more people to enjoy in different formats! It’s the same locked door we all fell in love with on our kindle!

So good! One of my favorite Freida books!

4.5 Stars

Omg this book was so good, I literally could not put it down!

Nora is the daughter of a serial killer and is trying to live her life as a doctor far away from her past. This story was told in the present but also through flashbacks from Nora’s past. It was a great way to tell her story.

The end was full of twists and turns and really surprised me!

One thing I could have done without was the romance. I didn’t really but into it but I’m not sure I was supposed to.

There were also several some loose ends for me making me question if there will be a book two.

Overall I really loved this and I am absolutely loving Freida McFadden’s totally addictive story telling!
