4.0
Overall, a fun, fast-paced thriller. The pacing and plot are gripping, as is typical of McFadden's books – I read the whole thing in
one day. It was un-put-downable. In true McFadden style, it kept me guessing who the murderer was til the final reveal, and the twisty ending is so out there that it's barely plausible, but it all works and I can't wait to read more books by her!
Our main character and narrator is Nora Davis, a surgeon and daughter of an infamous serial killer. Nora's changed her last name and hidden her relationship to her father, and lives a peaceful if isolated life. But when her former patients start turning up dead, and their deaths are suspiciously similar to her incarcerated father's MO, Nora becomes the police's number one suspect.
There's not a whole lot of character development of our main character Nora, and it seems like everything we learn about her is really about her father. The twists require some suspension of disbelief, but it's a really fun read.
If you liked The Perfect Son by the same author, you'll like this one too.
