The Locked Ward by Sarah Pekkanen
4.0

The Locked Ward by Sarah Pekkanen is a dark and gripping psychological thriller about estranged twin sisters caught in a nightmare of secrets, lies, and murder. When Georgia Cartwright is accused of killing the biological daughter of her wealthy adoptive family, she’s sent to a high security psychiatric hospital. Her only visitor? Amanda, her twin, who barely knows her. Georgia claims she’s innocent and begs Amanda to get her out, but Amanda doesn’t know what or who to believe.

This story had me hooked from the very beginning. I loved the short chapters and the fast pace, which made it incredibly hard to put down. The eerie setting of the psychiatric ward added an extra layer of tension, and the mystery kept me turning the pages. I was convinced I had it figured out but my prediction was totally wrong and that’s what made it so fun.

If you enjoy thrillers full of shocking twists and complicated family dynamics, I definitely recommend this one.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC!
