Brooke Sullivan moved back to her hometown with her 10-year-old son, shortly after her parents passed. Brooke was forced to leave her hometown because of an incident that took place about 11 years ago but now as a nurse practitioner, she lands a job at a maximum security men's penitentiary. She was hoping to leave her past behind but on her second day at the job she encounters the man who tried choking her to death 11 years ago.
This could've been a solid a 5-star rating but I felt like everything just happened really fast without that much detail given to the reader. But listen, I devoured this story in one day because it was so addicting and suspenseful, I was not letting my boyfriend leave my side, I was way too creeped out. I think Freida is utterly talented because her writing is easy to understand, no weird lengthy words, just straight to the point, and left me going in circles the whole time. I got to say that my friend Brooke is a little slow on picking up red flags because how can you be so naïve back then but also not learn from the past? I mean, idk she stressed me out countless times.
The Inmate is a page-turning book and hard to put it down because what you think is your regular thriller story as it unfolds doesn't turn out to be it. As soon as you want to believe you are reaching a conclusion on who killed those people given the description and tiny bits of memory left after 11 years, you are swerved back into confusion. The story is told from Brooke's POV, until the epilogue, and written in both present and past (11 years ago).
