Friday on My Mind by Nicci French
4.0
Friday on my Mind by Nicci French is a 2015 Penguin publication.
This is the fifth book in the Frieda Klein series.
This book started off with a real shocker! Frieda’s former lover is found murdered and so naturally, Frieda becomes the prime suspect in his death.
Instead of going through the due process, Frieda goes AWOL, sliding just under the radar and one step ahead of the cops, while she investigates the murder. But, it soon becomes clear that Frieda could be a target, and must tread very carefully.
The developments that took place in the book four was the segue into book five, but I never could have imagined things turning out like this.
I thought Frieda did the right thing by avoiding arrest and taking the risks she did. Once the police hone in on her as a suspect, they were like a dog with a bone, refusing to open their minds to other possibilities. If something like this happened for real, Frieda would probably have been sent up the river, innocent or not.
However, her actions do cause some problems for her friends, and for Karlsson, who gets stuck between a rock and a hard place.
The revelations that came out during the investigation totally blindsided me! Wow, who could have seen THAT coming!!
I read this installment at warp speed, so I guess I was really into it this time around. The ending was truly chilling and literally sent a shiver down my spine.
Overall, I thought this chapter in the series was a lot better than the last. Now if I could only find a copy of the sixth book somewhere, I’ll be set to go.
