The Locked Door – Freida McFadden

Summary

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.

Review

Sigh, thought I could now count with Freida for popcorn thrillers but literally NOTHING happened here. If you want to know what the book is about and now it ends, quite literally just read the first 3 chapters and the last 2. This is quite a problem that I had/have with a well known KU author because they always tell all in the last few chapters. SHOW, DON’T TELL!!

Fortunately, I think this is an old republished Freida book because the writing is quite basic, very readable, so not a dig towards her at all, but it does feel like and older work compare to her newest hits.

All in all, not a fan, not a hater, just a bored reader with this one.
