The Coworker

I’m a new Freida McFadden fan. I’ve only read three besides this one and so far the Coworker is my favorite! This was such a good read! I enjoyed every chapter and every twist and turn!! I’m so glad to be reading again. Sometimes life happens and you can forget the simple things that makes you happy! Anyway this was a great book!!

This was a good read. I enjoyed the plot and the twists throughout the book. I really thought I knew who was a part of it, but I was wrong at the end. There was for sure a love hate relationship with each main character throughout the book. But I have to say that in the end, Dawn was my favorite. She was the real MVP.

I have read several of McFadden’s books starting with the Housemaid series (3). They have all been excellent. Twice I wanted to put this book down and not finish it. The obsession with the “turtles” is so distracting to the reading. I persevered to finish the book. The story itself has so many twists and turns it is an excellent book…but beware of the turtles and all the background information.

I love this author. She gets the hook in the first chapter. it's a mystery as to who did it until the end. This is the 8th book and I have another one ready when this is done.

I'm going to be honest. I love Frieda McFadden books. Even my least favorite of her books I will give a good review just because of the ease of reading them. They are what I consider "easy reads" in that I find them easy to get into. There is just something about the way she writes that keeps you interested enough till you get into the twists. It's like watching a movie that has something at the beginning that grabs you right away and gets you interested enough to see where it goes. I had read other reviews that said they were annoyed by the turtles and talk of turtles. Honestly...I found it a perfect depiction of a person on the spectrum. My son is on the spectrum. He is high functioning and most don't realize it until he stems or starts doing some of the very things that Dawn does in the book. He gets stuck on certain things. Dawn seems obsessed with turtles. My son would get stuck on something but then would move on after a while to something else...but he struggled making friends because of his quirkiness and his inability to stray from his black and white style of thinking. So in saying all of this...I found it spot on. I felt like there were enough twists and even tho I know to never make snap judgements in her stories....I still found myself saying "OMG" at some of the revelations. I had figured out some of it by the end...but there were some things that still surprised me. I took off one star only because I did figure part of it out and I only give 5 stars for my absolute favorite books. BUT, it is definitely worth reading! I read it in one day, in my spare time at work, lunch time, doctor's office and then finished up after dinner before bedtime. It's definitely one that you can finish in one go if you have a lazy day where you can just read!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️😜😰🤩 TLDR; I read this with my mom and we could not put it down. This was a fun, quick, and suspenseful read. Gotta love Freida's twists. I always wonder how she does it but she does. If you are in a reading slump, need a break from a larger series or just trying to get back into reading - read this or start with one of Freida's books.

This book was fascinating because the characters are described in such detail and then you never know what’s truth or fiction until the end. Very good book.

This had a slow start. Parts, you had to use your imagination. Worth finishing but don’t know that I’d recommend.

What a mind-blowing fast paced mystery thriller. A page turner for sure I was glued till the very end. Very well written easy to follow has some amazing twists. Few of them u can anticipate but few really are unpredictable. Loved the read one of the finest i read by far by Frieda McFadden cant wait to discover more of her work.

A great read.

Ce livre m'a beaucoup plus et donné beaucoup d'heures de lecture. On ne s'attend pas du tout à sa conclusion.

Letteralmente “divorato” pagina dopo pagina. E sempre inaspettata la fine .

Surpreendente do início ao fim. Olhem no estilo Freida, leitura super fluida e rápida com vários plot twists. Recomendo a leitura!
