Book Review: The Locked Door by Freida Mc Fadden

 

About:

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 her father was a notorious serial killer. And she intends to keep it that way.

Then Nora discovers one of her young female patients has been murdered. 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 a killer like her father. The police can’t pin anything on her.

As long as they don’t look in her basement.

My Thoughts

This was another page turner by Mc Fadden. This, like the two I read before is full of suspense and jaw dropping twists.

"Locked Doors are never good." Nora knows that all too well. What she discovered in the basement of her home at age 11, changed her life forever and her relationship with her father Aaron Nearling (who as it turned out, was leading a double life.)

Twenty six years later, Nora, a doctor, is intent on keeping the past in the past. Her past soon catches up with her with a strange chain of events. It lead her to question is someone knew who she was? Or what her father did all those years ago.

In piecing everything together, readers are taken down a rough path to uncover the truth. Let me tell you though, the revelations will leave you shook. I was again very impressed with everything in this story.

I recommend this.
