Publisher Description
There are three rules Brooke Sullivan must follow as a new nurse practitioner at a men’s maximum-security prison: 1) Treat all prisoners with respect. 2) Never reveal any personal information. 3) Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates. But none of the staff at the prison knows Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary’s most notorious and dangerous inmates. And they certainly don’t know that Shane was Brooke’s high school sweetheart—the star quarterback who is now spending the rest of his life in prison for a series of grisly murders. Or that Brooke's testimony was what put him there. But Shane knows. And he will never forget.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A nurse’s new job forces her to confront the darkest day of her life in this electrifying thriller. Looking for a fresh start for herself and her son, single mom Brooke Sullivan returns to her hometown and takes a less-than-ideal job at the local maximum-security prison. But she has a secret she’s keeping from her new bosses: One of the facility’s inmates is Shane Nelson, the man who tried to kill her 11 years ago. Alternating between the present and the night Brooke was nearly strangled with her own necklace, author Freida McFadden takes us on a truly wild ride. We listened in awe through each mind-blowing twist, falling for multiple wickedly clever red herrings along the way. Narrator Leslie Herald adds to the tension, letting us hear Brooke’s evolution from a fragile victim into a seriously tough mama bear. If you’re looking for a thriller that will have you totally enthralled, don’t pass up The Inmate.
Customer Reviews
The twist
I didn’t see the twist at the end and I appreciated it more than I thought because it seemed to be leaning in a cliche way half way thru
McFadden Magnificent
Although I predicted a major twist, I enjoyed the storyline. The author’s character creation is first class. Her ability to put the imagery in our mind, makes you feel like you could direct the movie version.
Plot twist
This book is hands down the best I’ve read so far—full of unexpected twists and turns that keep you hooked and guessing the whole time. I was constantly left in disbelief! Definitely a must-read.
Can’t wait to dive into book two 😉🤔
