(as of – Details)
Some doors are locked for a reason . . .
While eleven-year-old Nora Davis was up in her bedroom doing homework, she had 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 his life behind bars, and Nora is a successful surgeon with a quiet, solitary existence. Nobody knows her father was a notorious serial killer. And she intends to keep it that way.
Then Nora discovers one of her young female patients has been murdered. In the same unique and horrific manner that her father used to kill his victims.
Somebody knows who Nora is. Somebody wants her to take the fall for this unthinkable crime. But she’s not a killer like her father. The police can’t pin anything on her.
As long as they don’t look in her basement.

Definitely a page turner!
Such a great suspense novel. I kept trying to guess who it was throughout the whole book, and never suspected the person it actually was. I really enjoy all of Friedaâs books. Fantastic author. I love her writing style. Definitely recommend!

Pace/suspense
4.5 ðThis author is excellent in keeping the plot going with enough details for it to be an enjoyable read. the twist was great. I really enjoyed the book in its entirety, including the ending. She does not typically go into gory details nor does she go into a lot of Bedroom activity. I have already purchased two of her other books, and I will continue reading the rest of her books. Great read.

A little gory but so worth the ride!
Another unstoppable thriller full of unexpected twists!! It’s fast paced reading. Some chapters are about the past childhood of the main character . I typically don’t continue with s book that flips from present to past, but this one was even better because of getting a little of the back story to make the reader keep guessing what will happen next. This author is such an outstanding writer leaving a big surprise until the last page.

The Locked Door by Frieda McFadden
I recently finished ‘The Locked Door’ by Frieda McFadden, and while it had some intriguing elements, I found it a bit underwhelming overall. The premise revolves around a woman with a dark past who becomes entangled in a web of mystery and suspense, which initially drew me in. McFadden’s writing is engaging, and she does a commendable job of building tension throughout the story. However, I felt that some plot twists were predictable, which took away from the overall impact. The character development could have been deeper, as I wanted to connect more with the protagonist. While itâs an enjoyable read for those who appreciate psychological thrillers, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. Three stars for an interesting concept, but it left me wanting more depth.

This book is a masterclass in suspense, filled with unexpected twists and tense moments that will have you hooked from start to finish. McFadden excels at building tension and keeping readers guessing. The pacing is spot-on, with enough twists to leave you second-guessing every characterâs intentions. The dark, haunting atmosphere adds an extra layer of intrigue, making it impossible to put down.

Entertaining and fast paced
3.5: As usual Frieda McFadden delivers a fast paced and entertaining thriller. Was not my favorite of her thrillers, but I still really enjoyed it! It was a great palate cleanser after my last book that dragged and took me 3 weeks to read. I like the short chapters, and a compelling narrative, making it an easy, bing-worthy read. Lacks a little depth, but if you enjoy quick, easy thrillers with a solid premise itâs worth a read, just donât expect anything groundbreaking.

Great read
Was a quick read that definitely kept my attention. I really enjoyed reading it, despite guessing the killer. May have read to many psychological thrillers.

great ending
Another nice Freida read. This one was slower than most of her books, but still suspenseful and had an ending that I did not expect. Still recommend. Freida does not disappoint.

Loved this book, very good! Plot twists and a great story

The Locked Door is seriously awesome! This, after being ðªð¢ðªâð± by The Housemaid reeled me for real!
ðª Itâs got this killer combo of suspense, mystery, and feels. It is fast-paced so I sped through it with the girls and enjoyed it.
ðª The plot keeps you hooked with an irresistible narrative pull. You wonât guess whatâs waiting for you in the next page and chapter which makes the book way more interesting.
ðª And the characters? I got seriously mislead all the way on who really did it. Now, thatâs clever! Everyone are just plain relatable and suspicious! ð I donât blame anyone for getting spooked by Nora. Sheâs her fatherâs daughter after all. ð¤¨
ðª The plot twists and the reveal say so much on McFaddenâs writing style â totally ðððª ðð¥ð¢ð£ð£ðð¡ð like no other! ð¤©
Plus of course, thereâs nothing more fun than reading with a bunch of my book bestiesðOur buddy reads are either filled with spoilers, cheaters, or wrong-guesses! ððð
So if youâre into something different and a page-turner, give this a shot! â¥ï¸
