Behind the Red Door by Megan Collins

4.0

Thank you to Atria Books for gifting me a copy of BEHIND THE RED DOOR by Megan Collins.

What an incredibly dark and engrossing story this was! I have always loved a good psychological thriller and this one had all of the psychological components that fascinate me. A lost childhood memory. A kidnapped woman. An absent, self-absorbed, narcissistic father. It was everything that I hoped that it would be.

I will say that I did figure out where the ending was going fairly early into the book BUT Megan Collins wrote in such a way that I started to doubt my guess. I loved reading as she worked her magic and wove such an enthralling novel that kept me on the edge of my seat. I would love to know where her inspiration for this book came from as I can’t imagine having a father (or mother) as Fern did.

There was nothing slow about BEHIND THE RED DOOR. Between Fern’s glimpses into her mysterious connection with the missing woman and the experts from Astrid Sullivan’s memoir, I was completely absorbed into the pages of this book.

BEHIND THE RED DOOR will be published on August 4, 2020, but is available to pre-order now!
