Format: Paperback
The Coworker by Freida McFadden is a fast, twisty psychological thriller that turns ordinary office drama into something dark and unsettling. When a socially awkward employee disappears, suspicion falls on her polished, well-liked coworker, and the story unravels through secrets, lies, and shifting perspectives that keep you guessing. It’s an easy, bingeable read with short chapters and steady tension, though the characters are deeply flawed and the twists lean more “dramatic fun” than fully realistic. If you like messy people, workplace intrigue, and jaw-drop moments over literary depth, this one delivers a solid popcorn-thriller ride.

I really like the writers technic of writing. The characters are well dev eloped and personalized. The story line was great. I think everyone could share a bit of every character in the story. Toward the end it got just a bit wordy. Overall another great book.

3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ This one started off a bit slow for me, and it took some time to really get into the story. The buildup felt a little repetitive at first, and I wasn’t immediately pulled in. However, once the plot started to move, it did pick up a decent pace and became easier to stay engaged. Overall, it wasn’t the most gripping or intense thriller I’ve read, and it didn’t have that “can’t stop listening” feeling that some of Freida McFadden’s other books have. That said, it was still entertaining enough to keep me going, especially once things started unfolding. The twists were there, but they didn’t hit as hard or feel as surprising as I expected. I listened to this as an audiobook, and I have to say the narrator did a really good job bringing the characters to life. Unfortunately, I’ve been noticing a pattern with the production quality in some of this author’s audiobooks. While the narration itself was strong, the overall editing felt a bit off. Some transitions didn’t blend smoothly, and it made the experience feel less polished compared to other well-produced audiobooks. It didn’t ruin the experience, but it was noticeable. The characters were interesting enough, though not particularly memorable, and the story felt more like a quick, easy listen rather than something that really sticks with you afterward. It’s the kind of book that keeps you mildly curious about what’s going to happen next, but without a strong emotional or suspenseful payoff. Definitely not one of Freida McFadden’s strongest works, but still a decent distraction when you’re in the mood for something light, easy, and relatively entertaining without expecting too much depth.

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 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. Freida McFadden's "The Coworker" beckons readers into the enigmatic world of Dawn Schiff, the peculiar accountant who vanished, leaving behind a whirlwind of suspicion and a twisted game that not even the office's queen bee, Natalie Farrell, can escape. 🕰️ A Game of Shadows: As the clock ticks towards 8:45 a.m., the strangeness of Dawn Schiff unfurls like a shadowy dance. 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? 🕵️♀️🔍🕰️

Have you ever read a book, and thought, in a very Michael Scott voice: "Where are the turtles?!", well - do I have the book for you! Dawn is a quiet, slightly quirky woman in the office whose obsession with turtles is unmatched. She also sticks to a very strict schedule, valuing promptness above most other things. So when Dawn doesn't show up to work one day, after sending some strange emails to her boss and her coworker, Natalie, it doesnt go unnoticed. Natalie takes the search a step further and goes to Dawn's house to check on her, only to find the makings of a crime scene. Dawn's disappearance quickly turns from looking for her alive to looking for a body. The first suspect on the list? Natalie, of course. The secrets uncovered during the investigation paint a very ugly picture - but is everything as it seems? Turtles. Facts about turtles. Descriptions of turtles. Imagery of turtles. I think I could get a book on turtles and it would probably be less about turtles than this book - okay, maybe that's an exaggeration - but theres definitely a lot of turtleness in this book. Its turtle-y enough for the turtle club, that's for sure. Dawn seemed like an autistic-coded character to me - her fascination and fixation, as well as her difficulty reading social cues had me wondering, although its never said. Maybe I'm wrong in that thinking, but that's how she appeared to me. The twists were pretty good! One or two of them were definitely a bit more predictable than the others, but this was a solid Freida book! I loved the way this made me doubt things just enough while reading, second guessing my theories. I was definitely gripped from beginning to end!
