Another Freida that did not disappoint…even though this one didn‘t have a huge twist as her other books, it was still a great fast-paced thrilling read to me😱🩷

What can I say about this book? 😬
I didn‘t like Tegan or the other “main” characters, in fact they irritated me a lot 🤪😒🫢😬- considering I had only read The Housemaid series by this author, this wasn‘t a great start to the rest of her books, it was readable and kept me gripped just enough to get to the end
Read for reading challenges
3.75/5
Really good thriller! 4 out of 5 stars
“Sometimes it's not the people that change. It's the mask that falls off.”
Dark psychological thriller with several POVs and timelines that threw me around a bit and became confusing. But good twists and voices to for audioscrapbooking.

September 6, 2025 I would give this book 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The book, as usual, was put down maybe twice, or three times. However, when I picked it up the fourth time, I actually continued to read because the pages would go by fast. After halfway, the story sped up and@more was revealed.
September 6, 2025 Welp, good news is that Abby and Sam are alive. Monica shot herself because she knew that Abby had won. As a result, in the end, Abby and Sam were able to keep the baby. The baby that was delivered safely in the NICU. The baby was named David: very small, beautiful, and looked a lot like Sam.
Abby was very happy to have finally called herself a parent because she and Sam were waiting to have a kid of their own.
September 6, 2025 Almost done with the book!!!! Abby is being questioned for murder. Is Abby really a murderer? Did she KILL Denise Holt?? Or did Monica frame Abby for killing Denise Holt because she knew too much??? Now Abby and Sam are heading home from the police station when Abby spots Chelsea - Monica's roommate. Although when the talk, she finds out that Monica paid her $200 to say that she was her roommate: FALSE. Monica deceived Abby
September 6, 2025 On page 213 and have reached Chapter 30. Abby met with Gertie who was a co-worker of hers because she wanted to show her a picture of Monica, who may have been the one to push her down the stairs from behind her back. Gertie is retired now - thank goodness. Suddenly, Denise Holt calls to meet with Abby. Once Abby agrees to meet with Denise, she finds that Denise is dead inside her office - no response! Who killed Denise Holt?
Ella is an FBI agent who has a photographic memory of every serial killer, every victim and every case. Ella's career and probably her life is at stake when she faces an actual serial killer who might just be copying the most infamous serial killers.
Enjoyable story with a good pace.
3.5/5🌟
