From Little Stack

Freida McFadden knows how to write a psychological thriller stuffed full of secrets and twists, and this one certainly has a father you’ll fear. Eleven-year-old Nora Davis had no idea her father was killing women in the basement until the day the police arrived at their front door. But decades later, and now a successful surgeon, one of her patients is murdered in the same unique, horrific manner that her father used to kill his victims.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Housemaid, this one will keep you guessing and is very cleverly written. It’s thrilling, engaging and unexpected, as well as the perfect binge read. Classic Freida McFadden!

Publisher Description

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.
