The Locked Door is a classic twisty and completely engrossing thriller from the iconic Freida McFadden. When Nora was young she was completely blindsided by her father being arrested and convicted of killing women in the basement of their home. Nora grew up to be a successful surgeon but she leads a very quiet and lonely life. However, things are turned upside down when one of her female patients is found murdered in the same manner that her dad used.
This story is told in dual timelines which helped build the suspense and mystery of what was going to happen next. The side characters in this book were well done and added layers of intrigue and possibilities. Not only are the police investigating the link between Nora but an ex boyfriend from college has recently stumbled back into her life bringing a whole host of issues.
The short and quick pacing of this book made it the perfect weekend read. McFadden has the great ability of writing stories that completely suck the reader in until the very last page.
