Synopsis (taken from Goodreads):
Quinn Alexander has committed an unthinkable crime.
To avoid spending her life in prison, Quinn makes a run for it. She leaves behind her home, her job, and her family. She grabs her passport and heads for the northern border before the police can discover what she’s done.
But when an unexpected snowstorm forces her off the road, Quinn must take refuge at the broken-down, isolated Baxter Motel. The handsome and kindly owner, Nick Baxter, is only too happy to offer her a cheap room for the night.
Unfortunately, the Baxter Motel isn’t the quiet, safe haven it seemed to be. The motel has a dark and disturbing past. And in the dilapidated house across the way, the silhouette of Nick’s ailing wife is always at the window. Always watching.
In the morning, Quinn must leave the motel. She’ll pack up her belongings and get back on the road to freedom.
But first, she must survive the night.
Do Not Disturb: 3.5/5
Apparently I’m on a Freida McFadden author binge right now. Yesterday I was in the car for ~11 hours traveling back home from a Thanksgiving visit so I had lots of time to kill. I made a dent in Me (Elton John’s autobiography) and read Do Not Disturb in its entirety. A great reading day 🤩
Since I just finished another book by the same author (scroll back one post for my review of The Inmate), it was easier to see her writing style in Do Not Disturb. I enjoyed Do Not Disturb more than The Inmate because I really didn’t see the plot twist coming and I thought I had it figured out all along. With The Inmate, I guessed the twist well before it was revealed.
To be honest, these books are never going to rank super high on my list of all time favorites or get 5 star reviews, but for some reason I can’t stop reading them because they’re soo entertaining and quick.
Freida McFadden has so many books that are on Prime Reading/Kindle Unlimited, so if you’ve seen mixed reviews and you have Amazon Prime, it wouldn’t hurt to check one or two of them out!
