Resumen del Editor

Some doors are locked for a reason....

While 11-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.

Horrible Narrator!

The story was adequate and a fun creepy read for the Halloween season. It was fairly surface level with undeveloped characters but an easy read. This book needs to be re-recorded as this is the worst narrator I have ever heard.

I wouldn't buy this one

The narration was so grating and shrill, it was difficult to listen to! what were they thinking! She was so affected it was bizarre. It took all I had to put her tone aside to listen. The great "reveals" were flat, did not advance the story well at all. The characters were not well developed, the plot had potential but was repetitive. This was a very disappointing novel.

Big MEH

I have been anticipating posting a review since I started this book. This is the absolute WORST narrator i've ever listened to. I heard really good things about the book so I stuck with it just for the content. It was super annoying having to listen to her. Just terrible.

As for the book... it was okay. Good twist... but that's about the only thing I have to say about it. I bet it would have been a ton better without the narration.

Opinion

The plot and characters are great ! I really was surprised with who the villain turned out to be. But the narrator is horrible! The voice work is annoying, I finished the book by reading it not the audible.

Terrible narration.

The story is, ok. it has potential but the writing is a little flat. The narration, however, is awful. Like nails on a chalkboard.

Great story but…

Great story but the narrator is not good. Her voice is annoying and the way she speaks is off putting. Her emphasis on parts is weird.

Good story.

The story was engaging, but I found the narrarator's voice irritating and would likely avoid audio books read by her in the future.

Trite

I’m glad this didn’t cost me a credit. The plot was thin, no new territory explored there.
The characters were one dimensional, not nuanced at all, the straw man/red herring too obvious by half. His completely illogical devotion to the doctor can’t be explained by two sexual encounters. All in all, plot wise, this book is weak.
The narration on a par with the writing. No vocal character, not much variation in presentation.

A must read

This fast-paced thriller is a must read. I am loving Frieda McFadden’s books and not just because they are available for free on kindle unlimited. The twist- I thought I had it figured out but I most definitely did not.
Side note: the audible narrator sounded a bit robotish.

narration is horrible!

narrator is AWFUL! totally over acting and pronunciation. who decides the narration? book is great. I love freida McFadden books!
