Thriller Binge

The Perfect Son by Freida McFadden

Do You Remember? by Freida McFadden

The Inmate by Freida McFadden

The Wife Upstairs by Freida McFadden

July 27, 2022 by esmemoria Leave a Comment

Well, I’ve done it again. I just can’t quit Freida McFadden. This time I’ve read four books in a row. I have a bingo book I want to start but I upended myself. Let’s review! The Perfect Son. The Perfect Son features a series of murders and disappearances that may have been perpetrated by a teenage boy. His mother is convinced he is a sociopath, given things he’s done in the past. When another teenage girl disappears, she tries to find out what her son […]

The Honeymoon, She is Over

One by One by Freida McFadden

July 16, 2022 by esmemoria 2 Comments

So I really got into Freida McFadden’s thrillers for a while there. I liked the first one I read and reviewed a lot, so I went on a bit of a binge. After a few, I realized that they were suspenseful potato chips more than anything else, with the writing being so-so. I didn’t care, I love a cheap thrill. Sometimes you just want a ride, even if it’s in an old Yugo. But with One by One, I have come to the end of […]

These Things are Like Potato Chips

Want to Know a Secret? by Freida McFadden

May 5, 2022 by esmemoria 19 Comments

I have a pile of books I want to read next to my bed (okay, on my bed, I tend to fall asleep with my books like they are so many teddy bears) but I keep buying McFadden’s books. Want to Know a Secret? is yet another quick read, but sadly it’s the weakest book by far. The book centers on a woman named April who has a YouTube cooking show and an unknown enemy who keeps sending her nasty text messages. Is it one […]

McFadden Knocks it Out of the Park Again

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

April 26, 2022 by esmemoria Leave a Comment

After reading Freida McFadden’s The Locked Door, I immediately dove into another one of her books. The Housemaid is about Millie, a young woman newly sprung from prison, who becomes a maid for a wealthy family. This is a thriller, so you know….things happen. Things I can’t reveal because it takes away the fun. Like The Locked Door, I read The Housemaid in a matter of hours. I scarfed them down like so much junk food. McFadden is a strong story teller, and her pacing […]

Excellent Thriller

The Locked Door by Freida McFadden

April 24, 2022 by esmemoria 7 Comments

The Locked Door by Freida McFadden is fun. That may be a creepy thing to say about a thriller, but it is a real romp. The plot centers on Nora, the daughter of a captured serial killer the Handyman, who has been in prison for 26 years. Nora has spent her life under a different name, hiding who her father is. But suddenly copy cat murders start happening that mimic her father’s murders. Nora’s life gets turned upside down and we are off to the […]

    definitely some healing from religious trauma! And, Saved! is one of my favorite movies of all time.
