A twisty psychological thriller from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Housemaid and The Coworker!
Some doors are locked for a reason…
While eleven-year-old Nora Davis was up in her bedroom doing homework, she had no idea her father was killing women in the basement.
Until the day the police arrived at their front door.
Decades later, Nora's father is spending his life behind bars, and Nora is a successful surgeon with a quiet, solitary existence. Nobody knows about her past, and she'll do anything to keep it that way.
Then one of her young female patients is murdered, killed in the same unique and horrific manner that her father used to kill his victims.
Somebody knows who Nora is. Somebody wants her to take the fall for this unthinkable crime. But she's not like her father. The police can't pin anything on her. As long as they don't look in her basement…
From New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a riveting psychological thriller about guilt, secrets, and whether it's possible to outrun what's in our blood.

Title: Unexpected and easy to binge read
Review: At this point I think my favorite genre is "books by Freida McFadden." I enjoy trying to predict the twist and being wildly surprised when the twist happens and I'm all wrong. Quick and easy read with such an amazing twist I never saw coming.

Title: Easy read, short chapters. But wanted more
Review: I absolutely loved "The Locked Door" by Frieda McFadden! This book kept me hooked from start to finish. While some readers have criticized it for being repetitive or lacking in character development for Nora, I completely disagree. Every detail, no matter how small, plays a crucial role in the narrative. Even something as so small, like how Nora likes to drink her coffee provides a deeper understanding of her character. These small details give insight into her personality and hint at her similarities with her father, a notorious serial killer.I found Nora to be a fascinating character. Yes, she was cold and distant, and she didn't show a lot of emotions, but this portrayal was intentional and effective. It highlighted her potential psychopathic traits while distinguishing her from her father. The questioning around whether she is like her father or not added a thrilling layer to the story.The alternating timelines between the present and the past were nice to read , offering a view of Nora's character and her relationship with her father before his capture. However, I do wish there was more exploration of Nora's childhood. There were some gaps that left me wanting more about her early years.My one thing was that it felt like it ended too abruptly. Yes, we all want a happy ending, but we are reading about possible suspects and everything that has happened so far and BAM. We get our answer so quickly. Too quickly. That whole scene doesnât last long and left me wanting more.Overall, this book is an easy read with short chapters that make it hard to put down. If you're looking for an engaging and enjoyable read with a plot twist at the end, I highly recommend "The Locked Door."

Title: Crimes of the fatherâ¦.
Review: This book was just okay in my opinion. Like all Frieda books it has an amazing hook in the beginning. And true to form, the person or persons that seem obvious as the antagonist or villain never are. I was wrong again as to who the âbad guyâ was but a little disappointed too because it was too far fetched. Regardless, itâs a decent read. So many of her other books are much better.

Title: it is a thrller
Review: The story was a page-turner. It kept me absorbed in the book, and I was compelled to go back to it every free moment. I've read another of her books, and she writes in the same style. It is definitely a book hard to put down. It is not for the fainthearted but a great read anyway.

Title: very enjoyable.
Review: I enjoyed this book. Slightly predictable but the story still flowed well and the conclusion was done well. Not as good as âNever Lieâ but still worth a read.

Title: A quick, compelling read
Review: The Locked Door is a lightening fast read. The premise hooked me from the start, and the twists and turns keep up the intrigue until the end.Ok. The writing is a little basic. It is not trying to be insightful or literary. It is just about the mystery, which is very well constructed.
