Why am I reading these books that clearly aren’t for me?

My favourite Freida McFadden so far. This was a really fun time, very tense and fast paced and I read about two thirds of it in one day. I really enjoy serial killer thrillers, much more than domestic thrillers which is why I think this one worked really well for me, especially with the added copycat whodunnit which is always a good time. 

At times I found the main character a little inconsistent, but I'm not reading a thriller for the character work so it really wasn't a big deal. Overall a very solid thriller that had me very invested, and one I would be quick to recommend.

Freida McFadden is fast becoming one of my faves.  Her books, at least the ones I have read, have kept me interested from the first page.  In 'The Locked Door,'  Nora Davis is a surgeon, but she has a secret she hopes no one finds out.  The only problem, someone knows her secret.  Whoever it is is setting her up to take the wrap.  If she tells her secret, what will others think?  Who is setting her up?  I don't want to say anything else bc I want you to enjoy this book as much as I did.

😊 Happy Reading 😊
