The Locked Ward
by Sarah Pekkanen
dark
mysterious
fast-paced
Once I saw it was written by Sarah Pekkanen, The Locked Ward was an immediate yes. This compelling page-turner tells the story of wealthy socialite Georgia Cartwright turned murderess. But then Mandy, small town bartender, receives a message from Georgia and a plea for help, and I was completely sucked in!
With every single chapter, new secrets were revealed. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I loved the mystery and intrigue!
Then about 80 percent in, when the big reveal happened, I wasn't really feeling it. It was a surprise, but the reveal just felt a little underwhelming.
Okay... I also didn't loooove the ending. There were some weird events that felt a little out of place, and some loose ends that weren't really discussed.
Obviously, I'm still gonna grab the next book she writes, but I wish the ending were a bit different for this one. It's still a good one to grab when you're wanting a quick read with some intrigue.
Read this if you like:
Short chapters
Alternating POVs
Sister drama
Wealthy families
So many secrets!
