Freida McFadden is fast becoming one of my faves.  Her books, at least the ones I have read, have kept me interested from the first page.  In 'The Locked Door,'  Nora Davis is a surgeon, but she has a secret she hopes no one finds out.  The only problem, someone knows her secret.  Whoever it is is setting her up to take the wrap.  If she tells her secret, what will others think?  Who is setting her up?  I don't want to say anything else bc I want you to enjoy this book as much as I did.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

I love that these books always have a twist at the end that you are not expecting.

This was okay. The plot twist was really surprising but a bit far fetched, and I wish we got more flashbacks from her childhood. The story felt very rushed towards the end and needed more development.

Not bad, but I wasn’t happy with it. Yelling at the MC for most of the book. Dragged on at some parts — I skimmed past a few chapters. Unexpected twist though! I did not like the RI —he felt manipulative and boring.
