She was afraid he would kill her this time so she did what she had to do. She ran. She left what appeared to be a good life with a career, a good-looking and successful husband, and a beautiful home. Even with all that Quinn Alexander knew that if she wanted her freedom, she had no choice. From the start, everything went wrong. She had to lie to her sister, the weather turned dangerous and the first place she found to take shelter was the Baxter Motel which kind of resembled the Bates Motel from the Hitchcock movie. However, the owner, Nick, seems to be OK and the room was cheap. It's just for one night, right? After what she just left behind, staying there should be a piece of cake. However, she was in for a surprise. DO NOT DISTURB, by Freida McFadden, is a cautionary tale. All the characters have a backstory and they will surprise readers. Some are not who they seem to be and what they are capable of is shocking. Well plotted and multi-layered, the suspense runs through the story from start to finish. The story is told in different voices which adds to the depth of the story. What I found fascinating is that I never knew what to expect. DO NOT DISTURB is everything a good psychological thriller should be. Highly recommended.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a story of sinister secrets...
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.
