Frieda McFadden strikes again with another jaw-dropping, edge-of-our-seat thriller. I was able to somewhat guess the big twist this time, but I still couldn’t put the book down and finished it within a day.

Intriguing and full of twists ✨

“After all, there’s nothing that binds two people like a shared secret.”

I was in a terrible reading slump, and this book got me out of it. I enjoyed how easy it was to get into, and the writing style, twist, and different personalities hooked me. I wasn't sure what to expect because I went in blind, but I wanted to get more into thrillers, and this did not disappoint. 

The plot was well-developed, and the twists weren't predictable! I enjoyed that each character was layered, and pieces were revealed as the story progressed. I was constantly jotting down different theories and explanations to see if I could solve the mystery before it got revealed. I have to admit that I was shocked a few times! This book had me thinking, gasping, and buzzed with excitement to reach the end. 

Overall, this was a solid read. I'd recommend this book, especially to people getting into thrillers☺️! Side note unexpectedly I did learn a lot about 🐢🤣.

I loved Dawn Schiff! What a multi-dimensional character. I loved this. Guessed the ‘twist’ from the start but that ending honestly left me with chills. This was definitely a creepy one.

This book.  I struggled so much with it. 

Perhaps it’s a different book when read.  I read an audio copy and had a few thoughts on it. 

The narrator breathed really heavily.  I had a hard time with the constant quotes and information about turtles. 

In the end , I really struggled to believe the plot twist and collaboration of the people who “did it” 

It didn’t make sense to me , the connection. 

I feel like this ended up being completely far fetched in all aspects.

Just when you think you know what's happening, McFadden spins another surprise into the story! Characters and motives continue to evolve throughout The Coworker, giving mystery fans fodder for guesswork. One thing I appreciate about this author's characterizations is that no one is entirely blameless, lending an element of realism to the proceedings.
