Has a few minor plot holes, but I really enjoyed this while reading it. Not a book that makes you think, and probably won't stick with me for long (it's very much a "vacation read"), but the chapters were short and punchy when all the action started happening and it left me saying "just one more chapter" several times toward the end

I mean it kept me reading, clearly, but the ending was kinda terrible and so rushed

The Locked Door is yet another Freida McFadden book that I binged in a day. However, I was not satisfied with the ending. While it wasn't out of left field, I felt like there wasn't enough throughout the book to support the ending, and it rendered some parts of the book useless.

Freida’s books are always a go to for a quick thriller read. They arent perfect but they get the job done.
