Why read it?
1 author picked The Locked Door as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoyed this novel about a serial killer's daughter. The main character is flawed but very rootable, and the ending took me by surprise.
I especially admired the way all the different strands of the plot came together. The author laid out some good cookie crumbs for the reader to follow, and I missed several of them in a way that was very satisfying when they were revealed to me. I also liked that the main character gets a happy ending that I found very believable.
From Matt's list on The best thrillers you'll devour in one sitting.
