Publisher's summary

Two women. An office filled with secrets. One terrible crime that can't be taken back.

Dawn Schiff is strange.

At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m.

So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell―beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running―is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything… It turns out Dawn wasn't just an awkward outsider―she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim?

But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff.

Enough to kill.

The Coworker is a tense, unputdownable thriller from New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden that explores the dark ways the past can echo through the present―with deadly consequences.

Not the housemaid

It took a while to get into, and at times I thought the treatment of the main character was horrible. It did seem like Natalie was trying to kind, but really just didn’t have it in her in so many ways. My main complaint was that Natalie and Dawn started to sound a lot alike towards end. Was curious is the narrator pronounced A as long sound in purpose to reflect character, or not. Otherwise it really distracted me.

What a twist

Natalie is still a character I can’t like, until the end/ she can’t be redeemed and Don? Wow

Quirky characters

I was not a fan of this story line, especially the unlikable character Dawn and her turtle obsession. It did have an interesting twist at the end however.

I love Freida McFadden’s books and this is no exception!

I don’t know if it’s because I love Freida McFadden that I can’t wait for her books to be released. This is another five star listen.
I think the narrator is great for the part.
On a more serious note, it’s a compassionate look into the lives of people with disabilities. Especially the type of mental/emotional disabilities that aren’t obvious at first glance.
She has an amazing sense of humor in her writing.

Some nice twists

This book feels almost like it was rushed to print. I never settled on anyone to root for and I didn’t identify with any of the characters or relationships. It all seemed a bit shallow and disjointed. In my opinion, the book needed more work before publication.

not her best book!

I've read a few of her books, and this one just didn't hit like the others did.

Narrator isn’t great

The story itself was ok…the end was the best part. Definitely not Freida’s best.
