Do Not Disturb – Book Review

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 is a Hitchcock-style psychological thriller that will keep you tearing through the pages until you reach the shocking conclusion!

I have been trying to read all of Freida McFadden books and this is one of the books that I actually read. This is the seventh Freida McFadden book I have read.

Do Not Disturb story follows a woman named Quinn Alexander, who flees from home after she murdered her husband Derek. She was driving through the snowstorm and decides to spend the night at a ramshackle motel Baxter Motel. Quinn gets a room to spend the night. But the motel has a disturbing past–someone was murdered just right next to the room where Quinn is spending the night. And not only that–right opposite the motel, the motel’s owner’s wife seem to be spending the time, watching the rooms, giving Quinn an uneasy and creepy feeling. Quinn has to spend only one ngiht and then she will be leaving the motel the first thing in the morning…

Like all Freida’s books, this was fast-paced, unputdownable and page turner. One of the things I like about her books is, unlike most books, there are no useless descriptions and that the story is pretty much straight-forward. Despite the fact that this is a thriller, there is sort of a horror vibe in the book as well. I did enjoy this book and couldn’t put the book down. The book is packed with twists and turns and the ending took a complete unexpected turn. Let’s just say, like most of Freida’s books, the woman was the antagonist (little spoiler alert)

This book happened to be one of the Freida’s best books I have read. I will be piling up a list of Freida McFadden’s books from least favorite to most favorite. Do Not Disturb worth 4.5 stars.
