The Coworker
The Coworker | Freida McFadden
"Dawn Schiff is strange. At least, everyone at work thinks so. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m. So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell-beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running-is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything... Now, Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim? But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill."--

4 Stars • The Coworker by Freida McFadden is a psychological thriller centered around two women, Dawn Schiff and Natalie Farrell, who work at Vixed, a nutritional supplement company. The story begins when Dawn doesn't show up for work one morning, prompting concern from Natalie. ⬇️

suvata The situation escalates when Natalie receives an anonymous phone call saying "Help me," which sounds like Dawn's voice. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes apparent that Dawn was more than just an awkward outsider; she was targeted by someone close to her. 4w

This book was a gift from my kiddo, she ordered it online and told me to stop by Barnes & Noble for a surprise!
I LOVE how this story finished up! The Perfect Son has been my favorite of FM, but this one is right there with it. #🐢

The story centers around an unassuming protagonist who finds herself entangled with a charismatic but enigmatic coworker. As the plot unfolds, McFadden skillfully weaves tension and suspense, revealing dark secrets that challenge loyalty and trust. When I thought I knew what‘s happened - turn the page and I‘m somewhat blindsided. Quick fast paced read! Now onto The Inmate!

Alright, I have been binging this author‘s books this past week and this was the most predictable read. Not to say I didn‘t like it…maybe I am in a Freida McFadden hangover, but this one was easy to piece together. Pushy detective, bullies, health supplements, office romances, emails, a charity run, and turtles…a shit-ton of turtles. You will learn lots of random facts about turtles, and that‘s the cold, hard truth. Give it a read, it is decent.

LiteraryinPA Ha, your reviews about this author make me chuckle. 😋 5mo

It definitely kept my attention. What I am finding in common in the 2 McFadden books I have read thus far, is that she is a really good storyteller, weaving together a truly difficult to predict resolution; however, she relies almost too heavily on the unreliable narrator trope, and on all of her characters being truly unbelievably unlikeable people. I find myself getting irrationally angry at fictional characters.

Freida McFadden certainly has the thriller genre in her hands. The characters in this book were not very likable. Yet the book was a page turner. I give it 4/5 rating.

This wasn‘t great. It was a bit interesting, but I got really sick of hearing about turtles (you‘ll see if you read the book). This book was just meh.

lindarebello24 I know what you mean. I just finished this and I've had my fill of turtle information. A bit more info about cerebral palsy instead would have been better. 11mo

Rarely do I read a book and dislike all the characters. 😩This book was one of those times. It was an ok read and my first by this author. I am not sure if I‘ll read any others by her.💁🏽‍♀️

Boy, I didn't want to put this one down. It had twists in it. I did not expect what happened to happen. If you like psychological thrillers, you should read The Coworker. McFadden looked at a serious subject with this one: bullying. It doesn't just happen to kids, it happens to adults too.

Freida McFadden writes books that keep your attention and make you want to know what happens at the end. And then you forgot about them. This story is about socially dysfunctional Dawn and beautiful Natalie who has it all. They work together, but what is their real connection? And what about the two men in their lives? If it was still summer I would call this a beach read.

This was an easy read that I sped through in a handful of hours. We have two polar opposite coworkers, both unreliable narrators, as you try to determine who is telling the truth. The “who” didn‘t surprise me, but the “how” & “why” was exciting to unfold. There are blurry lines and questions of morality, and McFadden does a good job of keeping it entertaining throughout. Although we could have pulled back on “turtles” as a personality trait!

My first McFadden and this book is filled with lots of twists and turns! Truly an engaging read right from the start, so intense and kept me turning the pages! The ending was not what I‘ve expected as I thought it would be more blood curdling 😅

Oh well, this is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me. Thanks to Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this early copy!

Dawn and Natalie work for the same nutritional company. Dawn is autistic but Natalie is not. Dawn is always on time but doesn't show up for work one morning. Natalie is surprised and receives a phone call that changes everything. Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim?

EadieB But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill. This is another great psychological thriller by Freida McFadden. As the plot thickens, Natalie is arrested for her murder. Turns and twists galore and Freida has me guessing to the very end. I am now looking forward to the next McFadden book as she is an excellent writer. If you like mystery with your psychological thrillers then you will love this book. 1y

It kept me guessing at the end! I enjoyed Ward D and was thrilled to see a new novel coming out from Freida McFadden!

Dawn & Natalie are co-workers. You‘re thrown into the deep end & have to play catch-up. Bullies are bullies?

There‘s a time shift back in forth, a supportive BF, a bully of a detective, a boss that‘s cheating on his wife, a dead plain Jane & everything points at Natalie. Buried secrets will unbury.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
