Really enjoyed this one! The plot twist was incredible and I was on the edge of my seat half of the book. Really recommend it!

I’ve never found a Freida McFadden book i don’t like.
Her written style keeps you hooked, but is easy and fun to read. I always have a good time.

By the end of the Locked Door. i had so many different theories on who was killing the girls and truly the one that was the killer wasn’t even on my radar! It was definitely a twist i didn’t see coming but i truly did enjoy the ending and the second epilogue had my jaw dropped.

definitely recommend.

4⭐️ | this was a good Freida book, nothing obvious and kept me wanting to read more and more. The whole premise was interesting because you already know her dad is in prison and what he did. So when shit starts getting crazy, you’re like wtf is actually happening. You even start to doubt the main character. I listened to this and the narrators performance was rough to listen to. I would recommend reading this one.

I love that I was immediately gripped by the story. I liked that there were a number of paths for my mind to take on who I thought the murderer could be and it could change from one moment the next. The twist at the end got me! I’ll definitely be reading more of Freida McFaddens works.

Say what you want about Freida McFadden but she knows how to writing a freaking thriller!!
I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and couldn't slam my finger fast enough on my Kindle to get to the ending.
I read The Locked Door in less than 24 hours. 😅
It was an intense page-turner and I loved every second of nail-biting nervousness I got from this book!
My only issue was that I predicted who the killer was so that plot twist fell a bit flat for me.
I've already picked up another McFadden book to read, so if you need any incentive to pick up one of her books, know that I can't keep to put them down!

Special thanks to NetGalley for the advanced audiobook of 'The Locked Door' by Freida McFadden. The Locked Door is yet another book by McFadden that is written in the voice of an extremely ignorant and dull-witted female. While, I did not see the twist at the end coming, I just can not read another book where the main character is a brainless female.

Nora was 12 when her father and mother were arrested for horrible murders of young women. Her father was sent to prison for life and her mother committed suicide. Nora was then raised by her grandmother and went on to school to become a successful surgeon. 26 years later she is a surgeon and has a successful practice with her partner Philip. Life is great and she has not even thought of her past until two of her patients end up dead and their hands are found severed which was the signature of her father when he killed young women. Who is responsible for these copy cat crimes and why are they trying to frame
Nora for these murders. Who wants to bring up the past and cause problems? Great book. Read this one in less than a day! Need to check out some more by this author.

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!
