The Locked Door by Freida McFadden – Review by Colleen Noyes

The Locked Door by Freida McFadden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We read this book as part of our book club and holy sweet Jesus what an excellent choice. This story had you from page 1 and kept your head spinning non stop. The characters are very well written, they are equally likeable and scary. The key to a great mystery is making you believe the killer is 80 different people and this book does that. While I did figure it out, most folks in my book club did not and that’s incredible. Watching Nora have to fight so hard to keep her identity a secret while fighting her inner demons was exhilarating. Women once again are being murdered, but you know her father can’t be doing it (or can he), it leaves so many options. One of the things that impressed me about this book was that the author does a magnificent job of making each character feel like a main character and you find yourself second guessing each and every one of them. The twists, turns, and psychological warfare you will go through will leave you invigorated and exhausted. I can not wait to read more by this author as this was my first book by her. If you enjoy a true psychological thriller, run out and grab this story.
