The Inmate

Description

A gripping, twisty thriller from Freida McFadden, the New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid and The Coworker!

The guiltiest people aren't always the ones behind bars...

As a new nurse practitioner at a maximum-security prison, Brooke Sullivan is taught three crucial rules:

  1. Treat all prisoners with respect.
  2. Never reveal any personal information.
  3. Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.

But nobody knows that 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.

They certainly don't know that Shane was Brooke's high school sweetheart--the star quarterback, the golden boy who's serving a life sentence for a series of grisly murders. Or that Brooke's testimony was what put him there.

But Shane knows. He knows more than anyone. And he will never forget.

The Inmate is a propulsive, mind-bending thriller about how we define guilt--and who has to pay for it, from New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden.

This one takes you on a journey back and forth through two timelines. Brooke is hired at a penitentiary where her ex boyfriend is incarcerated for murder. It was another page turner that made me think I knew what was going to happen but I definitely didn’t!

Brooke does a disservice to nurse practitioners everywhere. In general... I don't think they form intimate relationships ONLY with men that they really believe are capable of murder. Very odd. I would like to know the percentage of nurses out there that have ever cared for an inmate and thought "I'd hit that.". Because for this PT that has worked with inmates ... it's a solid 0%. Brooke is TSTL. Google that. Also, she's attracted to assistant pri...read more

I loved reading this book! I read this with Amazon Prime. And having read this and the Housemaid, I now want to read all of Freida's books! I kept thinking I knew what was going to happen, but then a twist happens! Sometimes I was right and sometimes I was wrong! I liked this FMC a bit more then Millie, but she still irradiated me a bit only because she is very easily manipulated.. but that's better then wanting to get with someone's lover.. 😒 ...read more

Well-- the twist I thought was coming-- didn't come-- TWICE! Which of course-- made it such a good book! As usual, McFadden gives us many many options for the "real killer" and little do we know she's got something else planned for us! It's so great to get the reveal-- though this one wasn't as OMG as some of her other twisty twists. I wasn't a huge fan of Brooke-- I thought she was a little TOO gullible and sometimes really stupid. If she went t...read more
