I think I’ve read almost all of Freida’s books by now, but honestly, I found The Locked Door one of her weaker ones.
The story follows Nora, the daughter of serial killer Aaron Nierling, also known as “The Handyman.” With her father serving a life sentence, Nora has built a new life under a different name. She’s now a surgeon, and no one knows about her dark past. That is, until new murders start happening—murders that follow her father’s exact methods. But he couldn’t have done it… right?
Soon, all clues point to Nora: the victims turn out to be her patients. But Nora knows she’s innocent. So who’s framing her?
While the story itself was decent, I didn’t find it as gripping as some of Freida’s other books. Maybe I’ve read too many of her works and am harder to impress now. The plot felt a bit too slow in the buildup, only for the ending to feel rushed.
All in all, not her best, but I’m still looking forward to her next book, The Crash.
