What I Liked About “Do Not Disturb by Freida McFadden”
“Do Not Disturb by Freida McFadden” has a good storyline and is well-paced, keeping readers engaged from start to finish. The switch in character POV at the halfway point provides additional details and perspectives, adding depth to the narrative. This is the first Freida McFadden book I’ve read where the main character isn’t portrayed as mentally unstable, which was a refreshing change. The mysteries are all answered by the end, providing a satisfying conclusion. Unlike her usual books, this one felt like it was written by a different author, showcasing McFadden’s versatility.
What I Didn’t Like About “Do Not Disturb by Freida McFadden”
Spoiler Alert: One aspect that annoyed me was the inconsistency in the stabbing scene involving Quinn’s sister, Claudia, and Greta. The event is described differently from each character’s POV, and Claudia’s final revelation didn’t align with these accounts. This disconnect was frustrating and detracted from the otherwise cohesive narrative.
Spoilers and Final Thoughts on “Do Not Disturb by Freida McFadden”
Spoiler Alert: Claudia’s hatred for Quinn is understandable when considering her reasons, but her attempt to kill Quinn feels unnecessary and extreme.
Overall, “Do Not Disturb by Freida McFadden” is a gripping psychological thriller that stands out from her previous works. Its unique narrative structure and well-developed storyline make it a compelling read. Despite some minor annoyances, it remains a good thriller to read
