The Locked Door

I have been slowly but surely reading through Freida McFadden's entire backlist. I want to share my feelings on this book, which honestly blew me away.

Summary:
Compared to the other books I've read by this author, this one is the best so far. We follow surgeon Nora Davis who has worked hard to leave her past behind her. Her life is turned upside down when her patients start to get killed off. The killer takes a unique trophy from each of his victims, similar to Nora's father, notorious serial killer, The Handyman. With her father still in prison, Nora wonders if the copycat is closer to her than she may think.

Review:
I'd like to say I'm a seasoned thriller consumer, so it takes quite a bit to get a 5 star rating. I genuinely only give a book 5 stars when I get a certain ✨feeling.✨
I swear I'm not that crazy. It's just a physical reaction I feel in my chest after reading a book. This one did it for me. I didn't see the twists coming, and I really enjoyed the pacing, characters, and the narrators tone. It created an intoxicating cocktail for a 5 star read.

Unlike McFadden's other work, this book really stood out. There was something about the main character that drew me in and by the time the ending came around I was so consumed by the story I didn't want it to end. Although I'm still going through the author's backlist of novels, I definitely recommend you pick this one up if you're looking for a good introduction to her books or thrillers in general. The writing is easy to digest and captivates you from the first chapter.
