Thank you Netgalley, Poisoned Pen Press and Freida McFadden for the eArc of the Inmate.
I am fairly new to Freida's writing and her books and the few I have read have been good. I did however feel that this one missed the mark a little but not sure why. The characters in the book were well fleshed out and mostly likeable in some way or another, Its always good to have a mix of characters, some unreliable, unlikeable, so it was inclusive in the mix of personalities. I really like Freida's writing style, the pacing is always good as this one is medium paced with a few ebbs to then gather pace again. The pay off was good, but I felt a little far fetched. Even though its fiction and you're allowed any ending you like. It just didn't gel for me personally.
Its a 3.25 for me, however, Ill still be reading her books in the future.
