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.

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 review is for fun and hope its entertaining in some way - enjoy and read this book. In the cold, sterile halls of Vixed, where nutritional supplements are crafted, secrets fester like an unspoken toxin.

McFadden paints Dawn as an enigma, an outsider harboring mysteries that elude the prying eyes of the Vixed coworkers. The suspense tightens when Dawn vanishes, leaving Natalie ensnared in a web of questions with no easy answers. 😂 Office Humor Meets Dark Secrets: In the monotony of office life, McFadden injects doses of humor (she's good at it), transforming the mundane into a comedic escapade. The quirks of office culture find a place amidst the suspense, creating a narrative that oscillates between chuckles and gasps. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, where laughter and tension intertwine in an unusual office tango. Just when you think you got it figured out someone else pops up. 🔍 Twists That Tease: McFadden's trademark twists take center stage, beckoning readers into a maze of uncertainty. The anonymous phone call becomes a siren's song, luring Natalie into a labyrinth where the distinction between victim and perpetrator blurs. With each revelation, the plot tightens its grip, leaving readers guessing until the final, gasp-inducing twist. 👥 Cat and Mouse: Caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse, Natalie grapples with her connection to Dawn. The lines between alliances and betrayals blur as she navigates the treacherous terrain of office politics turned deadly. McFadden expertly weaves a tale of suspicion and mistrust, leaving readers to wonder who's pulling the strings. 💀 Echoes of the Past: The echoes of Dawn's mysterious past reverberate through the present, casting shadows that stretch far beyond the office walls. McFadden, a maestro of suspense, explores the sinister ways in which the past can claw its way into the present, leaving a trail of deadly consequences. In "The Coworker," Freida McFadden concocts a potion of humor, suspense, and office intrigue that proves irresistible. A page-turner that entices you into the labyrinth of secrets lurking beneath the veneer of Vixed, it's a thriller that echoes long after the final revelation. Will you uncover the truth, or will the shadows of the office swallow you whole? 🕵️‍♀️🔍🕰️

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!

Love Freida Mc Fadden books and this one did not disappoint.

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!
