This was my first Freida McFadden book, and I really enjoyed it! It had plot twists, sketchy characters and an interesting and gripping plot.
Excited to read more from this author ;)

Because of the overuse of the word Turtles, I’m now hiding in my shell! The story was decent but I was just too repetitive talk and omg turtles. I wouldn’t recommend this book.

It was a nice book, and as usual another fast-paced novel by my fav Frieda. Didn't know the twists that were waiting for me. Excellent work!

This one wasn't one of my favorite books by Freida McFadden. It was quick to read but I found it a little bit boring. I just didn't particularly feel attached to any of the characters and I found both of the female characters annoying. Maybe that was the point. But as in typical Freida McFadden style, I did not see the twist coming. I thought I had it all figured out but as usual, I was wrong. It wasn't my favorite book by her but it wasn't bad either.

Freida can do no wrong! She keeps you on the edge of your seat right to the end. Super quick read that you won't want to put down!

This was an incredibly fun quick read because once you start it, there is no putting it down! There were many suspenseful twist and turns which kept me totally engaged and anticipating what was coming next. Classic McFadden surprising ending developments did not disappoint.
Super enjoyable read!

Wow, now this was a goodie, I didn’t expect this. From the characters to the story line and the plot unfolding!
-1st I’d like to say well done with Dawn and the representation of Autism (I’m assuming) but well done, as a mom of a high functioning autistic child, the social interactions, the specificity of things to Dawn and the routine and hyper fixation on her turtles I enjoyed that a lot and for her to be a lot smarter then what her co workers at Vex thought of her.
I enjoyed how the story was told and laid out and the twists were so good!
- and the very end, the greeen emerald that got me lol
Definitely a 4 star read for me!

One of my favorite popcorn thriller authors! This was so much fun and such a fast-paced read. I always love Freida’s twists and two-sided stories. Thank you to Poisoned Press for the early copy!

This is really worth it! I've been a Freida McFadden fan since I don't know when and all her creation is *chef's kiss*.

A bit underwhelming

I give this book 3.5 stars. I can’t say it’s my fav of Freida McFadden. The plot twist was just meh, no wow factor. No the turtle is creepy and Dawn was lowkey annoying.

I absolutely love Freida but I didn’t think I could stand one more turtle fact or reference. Then the emails got on my nerves. I’m glad I stuck with it and finished because I love her twists and humor.


Thank you Poisoned Pen Press for my copy.

I really enjoyed this book. I was looking forward to reading it and glad to get a copy early! I read this book in a day because I had to know what was happening and it did not disappoint! It was fast paced and kept me guessing until the end.
I always know a Freida book is going to be good but this one is one of my favorites!

This is going to be an unpopular opinion.... but this was a let down. The story was so far fetched that it was annoying. What do turtles have to do with coworkers and a murder? They are mentioned so many times in this story. Not my cup of tea.

Wow!! This storyline will definitely be sticking with me! Such interesting & strange characters! I loved getting to know them! This was a great, fast paced book in which nothing is as it seems, even in the final pages!

Another amazing thriller from Frieda! I didn’t see the ending coming, as usual! Would 10/10 recommend!

This book would have actually been enjoyable without the four hundred mentions of turtles. The story was interesting enough to have me wanting to know how it ended with a surprising twist at the end.

I read this book in one sitting! Kept me up all night! The plot twist were definitely twisting in this one! Absolutely loved it.. Freida never misses!

I LOVE everything about her books. She is fantastic and keeps readers on a rife the whole time. There are twists and turns around every corner and every time you think you know... you don't. That's saying something to....because I've been an investigator haha. I can't wait to see what she does next!

I’m a huge fan of this author. This writing was ok. It did not wow me. The turtle throughout the story was annoying. This is different from her previous writings too.

This is not my favorite by the author, but a descent read. I did not see the twist coming. Fans of the author will enjoy it.
