Since October 2022 I have read all of McFadden’s psychological thrillers and each time I think I know what lies ahead, I don’t! Each book is always a wild, twisty ride and that ride continues in McFadden’s latest Ward D.

Where have you been is an excellent question, which has a two-part answer. One, where have I been because I haven’t posted to the blog for a while? Two, how did I not discover author Freida McFadden sooner?
It’s been more than a year since I last posted to the blog. Where have I been? Still reading as usual but mental exhaustion saw the posting of book reviews go by the wayside. The changes that COVID brought to our world plus two job promotions since 2020, meant something had to go and unfortunately, that was blogging. I don’t know that I’ll begin posting on a regular basis again, but I have missed it and would love to get back into the rhythm.
How had I never heard of Freida McFadden before 2022! I was scrolling through one of my Facebook book groups when someone mentioned how good McFadden’s The Housemaid was. McFadden is the author of numerous psychological thrillers. Mystery/thriller/suspense is my most read genre, so The Housemaid was right up my reading alley. The Housemaid was my only 5-star read in 2022! The sequel The Housemaid’s Secret releases in February and I can’t wait to read it.
Since October 2022, I have read eight McFadden books and those I haven’t read are on my TBR list ready and waiting. I don’t know what it is about her books, but each one leaves me feeling as if I’m hanging right on the edge waiting for the next thing. I wouldn’t say they are jammed packed with action, but that is not a bad thing! McFadden writes in such a way that a simple conversation or action by a character has me waiting anxiously for what’s next. Her stories are clever and always closed out satisfactorily.
Never read McFadden? Get on that immediately! All of her books are available with Kindle Unlimited. You can find a complete list of her books at https://www.freidamcfadden.com.
Until next time, which hopefully won’t be too long.
Windsor Horne Lockwood III – his friends call him Win, and even they would be pressed to accurately describe this man. I first met Win in Coben’s Myron Bolitar series and loved his character. When this book was announced, I was eager to get my hands on a copy. Continue reading “Book Review: WIN by Harlan Coben”
The Perfect Daughter, the latest from D. J. Palmer, was not as good as his previous books, both of which I really enjoyed. Continue reading “Book Review: The Perfect Daughter by D. J. Palmer”

Sally Hepworth has become one of my go to authors. I know when I sit down with one of her novels that I’m going to be grabbed and better hold on tight until I turn the last page. That was true with her latest, The Good Sister. Continue reading “Book Review: The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth”
