Book Review: Death Row

I have to hand it to Freida McFadden once again. Her book, Brain Damage, was short, fun, and amazingly twisty. I’ve loved all her books so far, and this is no exception.

Death Row book cover

With all hope of an appeal fading away, the fate of a condemned murderess takes a shocking turn in a breathtaking short story by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid.

Talia Kemper is on death row for murdering her husband. She had an alibi and no known motive, yet Talia’s unwavering protestations of innocence have always been ignored. Then one day in the visiting area, she sees a recognizable stranger she’s certain is her husband. It turns out the man she’s been convicted of killing may not be dead after all. But as the days tick away toward Talia’s execution, what will it take for her to be believed?

I highly recommend this book. The twist was great, just like you expect from Freida. Talia knows she’s seen her dead husband, the one she’s on death row for. But no one believes her, obviously. And as she’s about to be lethally injected, there’s a twist you won’t see coming!
