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.

Good Storyline, Narrator, not so much

Narrator not good. Her voice is not good for narrating. I'm sure she's a lovely person, but, so nasely..distracting.

The Locked Door

I enjoyed the book and the story itself. I just didn’t love the narrator. I felt like it didn’t come easy like it was too rehearsed. Some people are naturals and some are not.

WORST NARRATOR EVER!!

This was a good book and I enjoyed the story, but I wish I had read this instead of listened. The narrator totally ruined it for me. She had a loud, robotic voice with sharp edges, that was incredibly annoying. I almost stopped listening even though I liked the story. Narrator totally ruined it for me.

Good story bad narration

Being firm and trying to sound serious and/or masculine is one thing. Sounding angry and annoying is anther.

Good story…

I thought the story was good but the narrator was very hard to listen to. I think she is probably the worst narrator of all the books I’ve listened to, which is over 700.

Great story. Narrator is the WORST

The story was captivating and held my attention. The twists and turns were unexpected. That being said, I almost gave up on it many times because the narrator was so horrible. She enunciates every syllable with such emphasis it distracts you from the story. This book is probably so much better as a paperback with your own imagination.

Good story, but…

The story was good and I made myself listen to it all because I purchased the book, but sorry, the narration was annoying and very hard to listen too.

Terrible narrator!!!!

I almost had to stop listening because of the narrator. No one speaks how she was narrating. Utterly annoying and over the top! Book was worth pushing through
