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.

0Ugh this was so disappointing. Here are my thoughts below :
Pros
✰ Idk what kinda magic Freida puts in her prologues, but they hook me in every time
✰ I think I liked the chapters from when Nora was younger better than the present ones - they were just more interesting & less predictable
✰ The smaller twists were pretty good & not as predictable as the main twists
Cons
✰ The biggest twist was so dumb - like it wasn't predictable for me, I just didn't like what was revealed it was just overhyped imo
✰ I think this book could've been a little shorter than it was
✰ I feel like compared to The Housemaid #1 & The Inmate, there's not much going on - pretty slow & only one main mystery going on, not other little ones if that makes sense
Overall Thoughts
Although I love most of Freida's writing & her stories, I hate her FMC's. Idk why she writes them in a way where they're so naive & make such stupid decisions when the answer is right in front of them lol. This is definitely my least fav book of Freida's so far (edit - I just read One by One & that was so much worse lmao). The synopsis seemed so interesting, but the execution was horrible imo.
