Publisher's summary

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.

Limited potential

This book held so much promise. I selected it because of a review I read. There was a lot in the review that was true and some stuff that wasn’t mentioned. I was extremely disappointed in the book. The premise was interesting and the beginning was good.

The impression I got was the author was under pressure to finish the book so she phoned in the ending. Zit was not good. I really wanted to like this book. In the end, it was silly.

If not for the narrator….

The main character got on my nerves being so mean. The narrator had ZERO range, I didn’t know who was talking a lot of the time. Overall, not a bad story, but not great.

Horrible narration

The narrator is so bad I almost couldn’t finish this book! I think more people would listen if they did!

Make or Break

.This book had some good twist and turns but not enough to get me through the end.
It became tedious about half way through. I think for a really good audible book, the author sketches the scenery and characters, and the narrator's inflections shade and color it in. The narration was a little humdrum for me. Still if it were the only book on the shelf, I'd give it a go.

Shocking!!!!

Great story! I LOVED the huge surprise at the end! I was totally shocked. I will definitely read more of McFadden’s books. I did not care for the performers voice, at all. I almost stopped listening to the book because of her voice. Her voice be be okay if it was only one character.

Ok book

I found this book entertaining but the twists were a little hard to swallow. The reader’s voice grated on my senses. It would have been an easy book for me to have not finished.

Great book, bad narrator

The narrator was way over the top. I love Freid'as books so I'm pushing through.

Skip the audible for this one.

Narrator’s tone was distracting, really had a hard time with this one. Would suggest reading the physical book.
