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.

Terrible narrator.

Was an ok book. I did want to get to the end to see what happened but oh my. The narrator was horrible. I felt like the story and plot would have been much better with a different narrator

Worst narrator ever

I actually enjoyed this story, but the narrator has the worst voice I've ever heard on an audiobook - So whiny and shrill, it made the book really hard to listen too. I will listen to more by the author, but certainly not this narrator.

Good twisty story - bad narration

I never worked this book out!
I usually do, clever twist
Really enjoyed the story but the narration was a bit like a robot
Persevered due to the story and love her books but the narration, it did have me cringe a few times
Worth a listen definitely or read !?

Very well written

The narrators voice took some getting used to. Other than this I very much enjoyed this book. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.

It was ok, good twists.

I read this after recently finding and enjoying frieda McFadden but it wasn’t anywhere near as good, the beginning dragged with huge amount of repetition (just like my dad…..), we get it, you are similar. The end got a bit crazy too but I did like the mis-leads and twisty bits. The narrator though, sounded like a pantomime villain, pronouncing everything as if it was sinister took the emphasis off things that actually were! very off putting.

Not great 😢💔

This suspense story was extremely boring. I loved several elements of it and it had all the correct ingredients to make a perfect thriller, yet the promise of it never quite gets realized.
The story goes back (26 years ago) where we see some of her redefining moments. And present day, where everyone is a suspect and we form a bunch of theories that are most likely wrong.
The plot twists were good and I was shouting at Nora often. I really disliked her.
Another problem was the narration: the narration was terrible, not badly executed, but a terrible voice.
