Publisher's summary

Some doors are locked for a reason....

While 11-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.

Excellent story line-horrid narration

Frieda McFaddens books are very good and always well written. However, this narrator has to be the absolute worst I’ve ever heard. It is BAD!! So bad that the narration should be redone with a better narrator.

Terrible Narrator!!!

Oh my gosh. A good book but the worst narrator I’ve ever listened to! An awful breathy cadence to her voice. Very hard to get through because of the narrator. Would recommend reading this vs. listening to it.

Great read, unbearable narration

I ended up abandoning the audible version of this and reading it on Kindle. So glad I did. The narration was ruining what was otherwise a good storyline. Spooky, twisty, I loved it. The narration, however, was absolutely grating and terrible. It would be wise to re-record with another narrator.

The narrator is overly dramatic

This is the first time after approximately 20 audible books that the narrator really bothered me. Very over dramatic. The story line wasn’t horrible but I didn’t care for the writers style.

Narrator over dramatic

Every sentence was read with excessive drama. It was just overkill. Also, the men voices weren’t great. Story was good though. I was pleasantly surprised.

Narration is not good!

Odd storyline of a surgeon

I was disappointed in this storyline. When the readers voice does not gripe you and the storyline doesn’t either it is difficult to get through. I did continue to finish the entire book but I was disappointed.
