This book was a good read. I could predict most of the ending, but not everything! I was surprised at a lot of things that happened! Especially in the epilogue! Wow. Will definitely pick up another Frieda McFadden book in the future!

From a tragic past to a now hopeful future, can Brooke move on or will something or someone make that difficult?

The Inmate is a thriller  suspense, semi-who-done-it that is fast paced and very enjoyable.  There is some back and forth in the book between present day and the past but this helps with the plot.

The characters were well written. However you do find yourself at times questioning the main characters logic and choices, but this actually aides in the reader questioning if their theories are correct or if they have been lead down a wrong path. Characters: 4/5

The atmosphere is mellow without any true tension. I did not fine myself feeling that sense of dread or worry that sometimes comes with a darker style book. However, I was not bored and was pleased with the over all settings within the story. Atmosphere/Setting: 3/5

The novel is fast paced and easily read within a day or two, depending on a persons schedule. The writer uses common vocabular whoch means the book would be an easy read for most. Writing: 4/5

A woman deals with a tragic past and the ramifications of what happened alone with deciphering if the memories she has from the incident are real or something she created. During this she sturggles with trusting those who are around her. Plot: 4/5

Overall the book was a delightful quick read. And I will pick up more novels by this author. Enjoyment: 4/5

This book was really great until the ending. There were twists, there was suspense but like other Freida McFadden books I've read the ending seems really far fetched. It was too contrived. 

<Spoiler> I would have loved to see Tim be the bad guy. It would have been more of a redemption story for Shane to have been the good guy.

Also, a kid as a killer? Nah!
