It’s another Sunday and I am back with Yet another Freida Mcfadden. ‘Do Not Distrub’ is one of the earlier works of Freida which has got a Paperback version recently and I couldn’t help picking this one up as soon as it got released. This one is more of a fast paced Domestic Thriller which you can devour in one sitting and has that typical Freida Mcfadden signature all over it .
This one starts off with a Bang. Quinn Alexander has just killed
her super-rich husband and she is on the run. But an unexpected snow storm
forces her to take refuge at a broken down inn, the isolated Baxter hotel
located in the outskirts of the City. But pretty sure, she figures out that the
Baxter’s Motel might not be that safe place to be in and the handsome and
kindly owner of the place, Nick Baxter might have sinister plans for her!
Told from Multiple Perspectives, (besides Quinn, we have
Rosalie-the hotelier’s wife, Claudia (Quinn’s Sister), Rob (Claudia’s husband)
narrating the story at different points), ‘Do Not Disturb’ is a real page – turner. Though Freida has used this
same narrative trope (of a young woman getting stranded in an isolated
Home/Hotel due to poor weather) years later in ‘Crash’ , this one still feels fresh
as some of the twists are really good (that
twist involving Claudia was really good) and the narrative really fast paced .
On the down side, I felt that a few of the climax reveals were
a bit of a let down (especially the one involving ,Greta’) and some of the
characters are not really worth sympathising for. Neverthless,these minor flaws aside, this one delivers as a really enjoyable
pop-corn read!
