The book was face paced, which made it a quick and easy thriller read! There were a lot of parts that I liked, but the overall story was easy to guess and there were no real twists I didn’t see coming. I’m probably give this author another go, because a lot of people do really love her books!

While eleven-year-old Nora Davis was up in her bedroom doing her homework, she has no idea her father was killing women in the basement. Until the day the police arrived at their front door. Decades later, Nora's father is spending time behind bars, and Nora is a successful surgeon with a quiet, solitary existence. Nobody knows her father wad a notorious serial killer. And she intends to keep it that way. Then Nora discovers one of her young female patients had been murdered in the same unique and horrific way that her father used to kill his victims.

The pace is fast in this action-packed read. My intrigue was piqued, I was guessing all the way through, and the ending was perfectly executed. It certainly kept me on my toes throughout. I would have liked to have learned more about Nora's childhood. Just when I thought I had it all worked out, I was wrong. There are plenty of twists and red herrings. I could not put this book down. The story has a creepy vibe to it. This is a quick and easy book to read.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #PoisonedPenPress and the author #FreidaMcFadden for my ARC of #TheLockedDoor in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this fast-paced suspense-thriller, I read it and couldn't put it down. It was slightly predictable, but I like how the story was built solid to the end. This is a must read, definitely worth recommending.

kinda predicted the plot the whole time (😭😭) but still super entertaining🤚 her books just hit different and there’s NO question about it

This wasn't my favorite McFadden book. It was a little too simple for me. Still an enjoyable easy read. Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book to read and review. All thoughts are my own.

Freida really keeps a person guessing through out her books. She also keeps you very engaged and on your toes. I will say, this is one of her better books that I’ve read. I couldn’t put this down and was so engrossed that I didn’t realize I read it in one sitting until I was finished. I did catch on to somethings but this book really held my attention and was very enjoyable.

If you like fast pace mystery type books, then I would definitely recommend any Freida book to you.

4 stars.

Amazing as any other Frieda book is hands down Queen of Thriller right here. This women doesnt get nearly enough credit for her work and shes so humble and down to earth not something you would see writing these thrillers like you do when you see Stephen King.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read the ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of The Locked Door by Freida McFadden.
Wow!! Loved the twists and turns. She kept me guessing the whole time. It was a shocker. A quick read and I would highly recommend it to those who enjoy great thrillers. I gave it a 5 star rating! Keep them coming Freida McFadden.

The Locked Door is a suspenseful fast paced story that will have you turning pages till you get done reading it. This is my second book by this author and she has done another great job with her writing. I truly enjoyed reading it. You won't want to miss this book! The ending was well done and something you would not expect at all. Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC read in exchange for my honest review.

Another addictive thriller by Frieda Mcfadden! This one gets a hold of you straight away and takes you for a ride. Sometimes creepy sometimes mysterious. It will have you guessing and guessing again. The reveal itself is quite your typical who dunnit type of reveal with the confession etc etc but I don't care its still a juicy quick read!

McFadden has made a McFan out of me! Loved this jaw dropping thriller that had my undivided attention from chapter 1. So many twisty elements that kept me on edge. Will forever be recommending this read to my friends and family, will even purchase as gifts to my fellow bookworms. 5 stars hands down.

This was truly my favourite Freida McFadden book by far. It was a little different than her usual thrillers but the plot was brilliant and I really enjoyed how I was kept guessing

I really loved The Locked Door by Freida McFadden. It is one of my favorite books of hers that I've read so far. It kept me guessing until the very end, and the twist was amazing! I also listened to this book on audio and it was very entertaining, fast paced, and easy to follow.

THIS book moved up to my top Freida reads! It is sooooo good! I was able to finish this book by only reading on my lunch hour and work breaks and zipppped through it! It pulled me in from the very beginning and the characters are so well built it made me love/hate them so hard! This book had me questioning myself and coming up with all sorts of theories.. and I was off by a long shot! I was able to read this as an ARC and I’d read this all over again. I loved it so much I went and purchased the older version before it becomes a collectors item and cannnnot wait to order the new version!

This was such a good thriller and the plot was solid. I had a great time and the twists were well made.
The ending made the book even better.

Thank you Netgalley, the publisher and author for the free copy of this book!

This was my first Freida McFadden novel and certainly not my last. The Locked Door follows Nora Davis who has built a successful life as a surgeon, despite her childhood trauma from being the daughter of a serial killer. As she has built her life, nobody knows the truth of who she really is.

Soon, one of her younger female patients has been murdered with the same M.O as her father. Police soon start to suspect that Nora is the one behind these murders. However, Nora knows that she’s not a killer, she saves people’s lives. Nora starts to suspect everyone close to her as she tries to prove she’s innocent.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The novel was action-packed, a fast read, had twists and turns, and was suspenseful. I also enjoyed the epilogue at the end of the novel, really left for a mind-blowing ending. A massive thank you to Freida McFadden, Poisoned Pen Press, and NetGalley for an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.

I'm new to the mystery/thriller genre. This is only my fourth or fifth title. But Freida McFadden is a new go-to author.

I don't want to give any spoilers. Many people have now read and reviewed this book. So I won't go much into the details of the plot. I will stick to what I did and didn't like about the book.

This story was very engaging and well-paced. For me this was a page-turner. She's a very skilled writer. All of the characters were likable and, importantly, believable. We get enough characterization, and not too much.

Actually that's a good way to describe the entire book: she gives you enough information and not too much. It keeps things from getting bogged down, while giving you just the right flow. She's excellent at adding intrigue and suspense, without really making you feel pranked, only a very little bit.

There is a trope that I think is expected in this genre, that thing where the hero is strapped to the buzzsaw and the villain explains the whole plot just before the hero busts in and saves the day. I find that a bit corny, but again, I think it's pretty much expected in this genre.

I like it that McFadden is a trained physician. So there's some verisimilitude in the medical writing.

There are certain things that may not be 100% logical, but I didn't notice those until hindsight. The story itself, and the way things worked among the characters, kept me engaged throughout.

Let's be clear: this isn't meant to be the Great American Novel. And bless her for not trying to do-all and be-all. Just do what you're doing, while you're doing it. And that's quite effective. She's just telling an engaging story, a workable mystery where people are quirky and full of self-doubts. It's not as wowie-zowie as A Tidy Ending by Joanna Cannon, but then I think few books are.

So I call it a very solid 4-star read. I look forward to another Freida McFadden for a rainy day.

I almost stopped reading this a couple chapters in because I was worried it was going to be too graphic/violent/scary for me. Boy am I glad I kept going!!! There was a point where it almost felt like a Hitchcock movie- so many twists and possibilities. You think you have figured it all out and then that theory crumbles and you are back to square one. I did not see the end coming at all. That’s what makes a great mystery! This was so good!!!

This was my first book where the main plot was mystery/thriller and I was not disappointed! The epilogue really made the book.

I can’t really think of a reason why I gave this 4 and not 5 stars, it just wasn’t amazing, but, like I said, I haven’t read a mystery book before this one so I don’t really have anything to compare it too. Would recommend this book though! Was definitely not expecting that ending!

Thank you Netgalley, the publisher and author for the free copy of this book!
