A twisty psychological thriller from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Housemaid! 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.

The Locked Door was my second time reading from this author and I can now say that I have definitely become a Freida McFadden truther and will be devouring everything she writes.
This gave me everything that I look for in a good Thriller. Suspense, characters that feel unreliable — including the main character and plot twists at every turn.
I can't wait to read more of her books.
Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for providing me with this ARC. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Mostly predictable plot. Audiobook narrator's voice very irritating which may contribute to this low rating
2.5
that ending ruined everything like c'est beaucoup trop tiré par les cheveux, nothing makes sense
i will give freida props for the writing style tho, she really succeeded to sell the image of the tormented daughter who can't stray apart from her dad's path until the little revelation (i was kind of seeing it coming but still)
but again the whole harper thing is stupid, novelas type of plot twist
not a bad book, really nice premise but badly executed. imagine she was just delusional all along and actually the killer ? much more interesting.
because her 360° from having des tendances psycho/socio to just being a friendly surgeon makes less sense. you know what maybe the author actually did too much of the “serial killer daughter persona” bc im realizing it really makes 0 sense. fallait plus de subtilité
