4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I thoroughly enjoyed this book for many reasons! I loved the short, quick chapters, the fast pacing of this story, and the character development of each of the characters!
Nora Davis is the daughter of a notorious serial killer dubbed "the handyman." Her father told her he was working in the basement, but he was actually killing women in their basement. She has since moved on, become a surgeon, and changed her name, hoping no one knows that she is related to a deadly killer imprisoned for life for his crimes.
Her world is rocked when a copycat killer begins killing women she has seen in her medical practice in the same manner of her father.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

The Locked Door revolves around surgeon Nora. She keeps herself to herself with just work and home. She has no significant other or any pets etc. the reason being is that Nora’s father is a serial killer called The Handyman. She doesn’t want to let anyone in and no one knows her true identity and surname. She’s getting by until two of her patients turn up dead - and both have had their hands severed like her father used to do. Who’s the copycat?…

The Locked Door is a super quick read by Freida McFadden. The writing kept me interested all throughout the story and the ending didn't disappoint. Another twisty psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the end. Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the Advance Review Copy.

I love this author! She is amazing at leaving little breadcrumbs throughout the story to make you think one way. She is also the best at including small details to make sure her ending is plausible. I appreciate full-circle and well-thought out stories which is why I like her writing style.

I would recommend to readers that like mystery thrillers with twists and turns. I don't like really gory or violent stories on or off the screen and I was able to read this.

As always freida to hit a home run. I could not put this book down. Absolutely loved it five stars all the way the suspense was incredible. Made me think if jeffrey dahmer had a daughter, this would be it

I will absolutely read anything Frieda writes! Really enjoyed this one! The plot twist was incredible and I was on the edge of my seat half of the book. Highly recommend it!

Frieda McFadden is everywhere lately and I love it! The Locked Door is so fun and engaging I literally couldn't put it down until the very last jaw dropping page! Mor twists than a pretzel it kept me glued far into the night! Bring on the next Frieda book!

Wow this book sucked me in! I loved Nora’s narration, the dual timelines, & the short chapters with its fast pace. And I was not expect that twist, though I thought I’d figured it out. Thank you, Freida McFadden, for proving me wrong! And thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy.

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 ⭐⭐⭐
