Another great book by Freida! It had great pacing, and I couldn't figure out the ending. Thanks, netgalley!

This book was decent. These books are what I call “palate cleansers.” Which is not a negative in any fashion. They’re quick reads with enjoyable storylines.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed the twist and turns in this book. I read this book quickly. It was definitely a page turner for me. This book was written in a way that keeps your attention from the beginning to end.

A gripping read from Freida. Easy to read books. This one features Nora who is a successful surgeon. Her father is spent g his life behind bars for numerous murders he committed. Nora is trying to,live her life away from her past. It as is usual her past catches up with her.

Unfortunately I was unable to download this book before the archive date, so I'm not able to leave a review. I look forward to reading and reviewing books by this author in the future.

The Locked Door had so many twists! I read this book twice! Highly recommend as you will enjoy the read! Great character development and storyline!

The plot twist was not what I expected but the leading up to it was not as exciting up to the point that I don’t care anymore what happens to the story. It was boring and unimpressive. For a thriller, its not that thrilling. The plot twist was too hard to believe. I also did not like Nora Davis as a main character.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC copy.

The Locked Door id a quick-paced psychological thriller. It follows Nora, a surgeon, with a dark family past, who is suspected in a new serial killer crime spree. This is a very quick, fun read. If you are familiar with Frieda McFadden, then you know you are always in for a fun time/ride with her books. I found this one to be somewhat more basic and was not too surprised by the trajectory of the plot. Except the epilogue, that did get me. But overall 3 star read.

There is nothing that Frieda can write that doesn't captivate me. Her impeccable pacing and engaging writing style keep me enthralled. She has undoubtedly become an auto-buy author for me.

I’m generally a McFadden fan but i found this book kind of lacking and pretty boring in terms of psychological thrillers. In my honest opinion, it seemed like she was forced to publish something so just pulled the story out of thin air without thinking about whether it was actually thrilling or not. I will continue to read her books in the future but this one didn’t do it for me.

I absolutely loved this book, it was beyond twisty! I recommend if you need a quick twisty thriller book. Thank you to the publisher and author for allowing me an arc of this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an advance copy of The Locked Door by Freida McFadden in exchange for my honest review and feedback. I literally squealed out loud when the approval came for this title as I LOVE anything and everything Freida McFadden writes. This book is absolutely amazing (just like all her others) and will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time as there are so many twists and turns that will keep you guessing late into the night. Be prepared for no sleep until you finish this book!

Okay so I went into Freida's books reading spree and I'm hooked. I don't remember why exactly I didn't complete reading this particular book when I got approved but now I have read it and loved it so much. There was a thrill in this book I was looking for a long time and it delivered so perfectly.

Freida usually pulls me in and keeps me guessing. This one seemed quite obvious, and I was correct when the twist was revealed. Not enough character development for me to care about "who's next?" as the story progresses. This trope has been done to death (no pun intended) and this book adds nothing new to the idea. For big Freida fans, this is a must read (because we love her!), but for anyone else I suggest skipping it to read one of her others instead!

This author is amazing- every book is original and Locked Door was no exception. Outstanding plot with good characters and a surprise ending.

4.7 star

The ending was such a twist and so unexpected that it left me on the edge of my seat. Freida McFadden's "The Locked Door" is a gripping psychological thriller that kept me guessing until the very end.

The protagonist, Nora, is a compelling and complex character who is still dealing with the trauma of her father's heinous crimes. Her struggle to come to terms with her past while trying to build a future for herself is both heart-wrenching and empowering.

The pacing of the story is expertly done, with the tension steadily building as Nora's world is turned upside down by someone determined to frame her for her father's crimes. The author skillfully weaves together the present-day mystery with flashbacks to Nora's childhood, slowly unraveling the truth behind her father's dark past.

The supporting characters are equally well-developed, each adding layers of intrigue to the story. From Nora's fiercely loyal best friend to the enigmatic detective determined to uncover the truth, every character feels essential to the plot.

One of the most impressive aspects of "The Locked Door" is the way McFadden keeps the reader guessing. Every new revelation only serves to deepen the mystery, and just when I thought I had it all figured out, the story took another unexpected turn.

Overall, "The Locked Door" is a riveting and haunting read that will stay with me long after turning the last page. Freida McFadden has crafted a truly unforgettable thriller that is sure to leave readers eager for more. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a gripping and thought-provoking mystery..

The Locked Door by Freida McFadden is a quick read with a lot of potential but falls short in execution. The pacing is fast, which keeps things moving, but the writing feels rushed and at times, clunky. While the twists and turns of the plot kept me intrigued, the characters felt flat, and the dialogue often lacked depth. It’s a decent thriller for those looking for a page-turner, but the lack of polish in the writing held it back from being truly great. Overall, an entertaining but forgettable read. 3 stars.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC copy!

An easy to read thriller. I don't often appreciate thrillers in my recent reading journey as I often guess the twist. I did not guess the twist this time but I also wasn't overly surprised by it. I haven't read any other books by this author but I would definitely be interested in trying another as a beachy easy to read type book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5/5)

This book has been on my shelf forever! I finally picked it up and I’m glad I did. I’d say this is more of a slower burn than her other stuff but it worked well for this story. I usually don’t like a slow burn, but it suited this story well and the pacing picks up toward the end.

Of course, as with all Freida McFadden’s books you won’t know for sure who you should trust.

One thing that I thought was weird is the surgeons having a bet between each other to see who can do more surgeries…talk about unethical. I just thought that was the weirdest thing.

I liked how Nora’s patients in her practice would come in complaining…giving us even more suspects to choose from.

The sneaky needle scene that comes full circle was a fun piece of the story. Yaaaas do your thing girl!

I think this would make a cool duology after how everything wrapped up.

I absolutely recommend checking this one out.

Frieda McFadden writes in a way that makes reading fun and easy. You will fly through this book easily and enjoy the story of Dr.Claire who has a family with a dark past. As she tries to move on and make a new name and future for herself, her past is uncovered and threatens to take away her positive reputation.

Claire’s father was arrested for a series of murders that took the city by storm. Someone is back at it again trying to pin a murder on Claire. This book takes you through her journey of trying to clear her name and get her life back.

The book is easy to read as Claire is a seemingly likable person and you want to root for her. If you love family drama and dark secrets that come to light, you will love this book!
