Freida McFadden is great - TikTok loves her books, and I will admit, I've read every one of them - each in less than a day, this one included. McFadden isn't the best writer, but she has mastered the art of suspense, and for that, I'll always read everything she authors.

If you're a Freida McFadden fan you will not be dissapointed. For fans of McFadden's you can expect her signature twist! This, like her other novels was a fast read that kept me turning the page. The book follows Nora who grew up the daughter of a vicious serial killer. When a slew of copycat murders begin with connections to Nora's life, police begin to implicate Nora in the murders. Nora does not know who to trust. The plot unfolds quickly from there in signature McFadden fashion. For fans of McFadden, suspense and mystery and thrillers alike!

I keep trying Freida McFadden books because I have a couple of friends who love them. After four tries, there's only been one I even remotely liked. I've come to the conclusion that this author is just not for me.

"A twisty psychological thriller from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Housemaid and The Coworker!

Some doors are locked for a reason…"

Freida McFadden is the queen of twists and turns! Anything she writes is immediately added to my To Read list and I am never disappointed. The Locked Door kept me reading with it's engaging story and paid off with a great twist!

I have loved some of Frida's books, but every time it gets to a point of the book where it seems like the same thing all over.

At the time, I was interest in mystery/thriller. This had peaked my interest at the time of reading this book, nut I became no longer interested in this.

I want to like Frieda but I just find her books so simplistic, and I’m fairly easy to please. This book was average but I did not feel like it was special or unique. I often feel like she puts her own “spin” on other people’s already published books and I hate that.

This was definitely a twisty read. I believe I rated it somewhat between a 3.5 and 4 stars, because it’s good, but not as good as The Housemaid or The Inmate in my opinion. Freida however never disappoints and leaves you guessing until the end! This book was a bit slower paced in the begging and becomes fast towards the end. All in all I enjoyed it, and love resorting to Freida McFadden books for something short, fast paced, and leaves me guessing all throughout.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book for many reasons! First, I loved the short, quick chapters. Secondly, I loved the fast pacing of this story. Third, I loved the character development of each of the characters, and I especially loved that of Nora.

I read a lot of thrillers and suspense stories, and this one definitely kept me on my toes. I feel that the storyline was different, and I appreciated that it wasn’t similar to the majority of the thrillers that I’ve been reading lately. The only thing I would have liked more of is to learn of Nora’s childhood. I have too many questions about Nora’s childhood that I needed answers to. I felt that part was cut too short (too many unanswered questions and scenarios).

I highly recommend reading The Locked Door. I’m also glad that I took a chance on reading this book, and I will be reading more from Freida McFadden going forward!

This book left me wanting more but was still a really fun fast paced thriller. This book follows Nora a daughter of a serial killer years later as Nora has put all that behind her that is until Nora’s patients start going dying in the same way Nora’s fathers victims had years prior. We follow Nora as she tries to figure out who the real killer is.

I really enjoyed this book it kept me guessing but I wish there was a little more character development in this one. I have always enjoyed Frieda McFadden’s writing and this book is no different it’s fast paced easy to follow and kept me engaged through out. I also really enjoyed learning more about Nora’s childhood throughout the book. I also really enjoyed the ending on this thriller! I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

The Locked Door had my nerves on end! The story line was some what was to follow. When I thought I had the twost figured out, I found I was not even close. Overall I enjoyed the story and give it 4.5 stars.

✨Book Review✨
The Locked Door by Freida McFadden
⭐️⭐️⭐️
.
This book definitely kept me engaged. I read the whole thing in almost a day. However, it was not my favorite book. I didn't love the ending/twist, and overall the characters drove me crazy. I think the narrator's voice had a lot to do with this, as I listened to most of the book on audio. Not sure if I would recommend this book unless you really want a quick super mindless thriller.

Thank you to NetGalley, Freida McFadden, and Poisoned Pen Press for an ARC copy of "The Locked Door".

Nora Davis, a successful surgeon, has meticulously kept her father's dark past hidden from the world. But when a young patient is murdered in a manner reminiscent of her father's crimes, Nora's carefully constructed life begins to unravel.

"The Locked Door" is a riveting psychological thriller that captivates from beginning to end. With its intricate plot, well-drawn characters, and spine-tingling suspense, it left me on the edge of my seat until the final page.

I highly recommend "The Locked Door" to fans of this genre who won't want to miss this chilling tale of secrets, deception, and the sinister legacy of the past.

🔒 Just finished "The Locked Door" by Freida McFadden and it's another gripping thriller! 🔑 Nora's dark past comes back to haunt her when her father's gruesome crimes resurface. 😱 McFadden weaves a chilling tale of secrets, suspense, and spine-tingling twists that kept me on the edge of my seat! 📚 If you're a fan of psychological thrillers, this one's a must-read! #TheLockedDoor #FreidaMcFadden #Thriller #BookReview 📖

Nora had no idea that her father was torturing women in their basement so when she grew up she became a doctor and vowed to help people. It is so intense with fear. I loved it from the start and the characters are interesting. The plot is fast paced and engaging.

I do love reading thriller books and Freida McFadden is one of my favourite authors. Her new book's description caught my attention at first sight. Surgeon Nora has achieved success. In addition, she is the daughter of a well-known serial killer who has spent 26 years behind bars. Abruptly, her father's distinctive method of killing people is applied to the murder of two of her previous patients. A killer who imitates others.

I wasn't surprised by the ending but still I enjoyed the book thoroughly. With many twists and turns it was a fun book to read. I really wanted to know about Nora's childhood and this one gives many answers to my questions regarding that.

This book was fun to read for a lot of reasons! To start, I really enjoyed the brief chapters. Second, I adored how quickly this tale moved along. Thirdly, I cherished each character's growth as a person, but I particularly appreciated Nora's.

The current and Nora's early years are alternated in the chronology. Understanding Nora's past as well as her personality requires knowledge of both timelines.

It was an amazing psychological thriller to read. I loved the time, I had spent with it. I heartily thank NetGalley and Poisonwood Press for that.

4.5 stars rounded up

Is there a Freida book that isn’t good?! This was a super quick read. I love the short chapters and the dual timelines. Each chapter ends leaving you wanting to read the next chapter. I think a chapter at the end with her father’s pov would have been a nice touch!

I could read anything Freida writes! One of my favorite authors knocks it out of the park once again with The Locked Door. If you enjoy thrillers of any kind, you won’t be disappointed with this one!

I loved this book. I was unable to put it down and it was filled with twist after twist. I have not found a book by this author that has not been amazing.

This was a fun quick read. I am pretty new to Freida, but every time I read her books I find myself immersed in her books turning the pages. There were definitely sometimes I felt like I was scared reading them at night lol and feeling uneasy. Frieda has a way with her writing that keeps you fully engaged. I will say that I thought for sure I knew where this was going and once again she had my jaw on the floor with that twist! So so good!
