The Locked Door by Freida McFadden

1.75

mysterious slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

What I thought was going to be a quick read, turned out to be a slow read because the narrator’s voice (for audio) was awful in my opinion. It was like listening to a boring news anchor- no inflection, no emotion, just monotone the ENTIRE TIME! The concept was alright, but the voice definitely deflated the “mystery/thriller” aspect. What saved this book from being a DNF was the plot twist of “who done it”:

I had my money on Brady or Phillip but it was Harper who turned out to be her psychotic sister, who was pretending to be an admin/assistant to her and Phillip. Glad Brady was actually the good guy after all.
