The Inmate - Freida McFadden
Pub. Date: March 5, 2024
She read
After ten years away from her hometown, Brooke Sullivan returns there when her estranged parents are killed in an auto accident and she inherits the family home. Hoping to make a fresh start with her ten year old son, the only job this nurse practitioner can find is in a maximum security penitentiary. She is not looking forward to the job as the man who tried to kill her ten years ago is imprisoned there; it was her testimony that sent him to this institution.
I chose this book because McFadden’s books are such best sellers and I had never read one. I can see why she is so popular…she weaves a heck of a story. There were the requisite twists, turns, and red herrings. There also were cliches, the story was a bit over the top, there were times I wanted to shake Brooke for her naiveté, and I thought there were a few unanswered questions. Yet, I couldn’t put this book down. Told in two timelines, it was a fast, engrossing read and my life stopped until I finished it. I loved the epilogue.
It is what I would describe as a popcorn thriller.
Thanks to @NetGalley and @poisonedpenpress for the DRC.
