Summary
Two women. An office filled with secrets. One terrible crime that can't be taken back.

Dawn Schiff is strange.

At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m.

So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell―beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running―is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything…

It turns out Dawn wasn't just an awkward outsider―she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim?

But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff.

Enough to kill.

The Coworker is a tense, unputdownable thriller from New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden that explores the dark ways the past can echo through the present―with deadly consequences.
Reviews
Profile Avatar Maree G. Oct 2023

Felt like a 'Nancy Drew' novel about her first job. All characters boring and in early 20s. I have enjoyed other books from this author. Disappointing

Profile Avatar Amber M. Nov 2024

Not the best FMF book I've read. I couldn't get past the overly annoying obsession with turtles.

Profile Avatar Rimas G. Sep 2023

Good book, keeps tension and mystery all the way to the end.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2024

Great read

Profile Avatar Joanne V. Dec 2023

Enjoyed this story as I do all of Freida McFadden’s books.

Profile Avatar Rachel J. Nov 2024

Another great book by this author!

Profile Avatar Sandra F. Oct 2024

Much of the first part of the book is written in emails, which was different. As expected, there was a huge plot twist that I never saw coming. Not my favorite of her’s, but 5* worthy.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2024

Crazy plot twist. Absolutely loved the book!

Profile Avatar Jenn C. Nov 2024

this was the 1st FMF book that i was just not that interested in. Her other books I have always been captivated by. This one fell short.

Profile Avatar Bianca1976 Nov 2024

Disappointing and Meh...the narrator was irritating and every character was completely unlikable. I thought I liked this woman's novels but every time I read one after her first I realize they get worse and worse. This book was not good...

Profile Avatar Ashley H. Nov 2024

Very underwhelming and overly repetitive.

Profile Avatar P K. Jul 2024

Amazing read

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

shows there's a little devil in all of us.

Profile Avatar Khloe m. Dec 2024

the explanation of the book was really well explained and soundedinteresting I have a feeling i'ma love this book they better make this a series if I love it .

Profile Avatar Eric L. Dec 2024

Nice little twists at the end.

Profile Avatar William Troyk Nov 2024

Too much back and forth with Mia and Doncha. However the plot was a good surprise.

Profile Avatar Haley A. Nov 2024

Good book, weird twist but I liked it

Profile Avatar Trish P. Nov 2024

Loved it. Full of surprises and twists. I would hate to work with Natalie though.

Profile Avatar Heather M. Nov 2024

I really enjoyed this author’s other book “Want to Know a Secret?” However, this book seems as though it was rushed and there is an almost hyper fixation on turtles. I’m not sure if I will finish this book.

Profile Avatar Stephani G. Nov 2024

Kept me from getting bored during my commute, but this wasn’t a very exciting story and the ending was so unrealistic. She has much better books!

Profile Avatar Valerie B. Apr 2024

It was just okay

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

It was a great story I totally recommend

Profile Avatar Maria E. Sep 2023

Terrible , big mistake terrible 1970 writing

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2026

As always a good twist!

Profile Avatar Brittani F. May 2026

Another loved book by Freida

Profile Avatar Jennifer M. May 2026

Per usual, didn't see that one coming!

Profile Avatar KHolton May 2026

The story was well written and interesting, but the emails (how they were written in), was over the top annoying.

Profile Avatar Irene L. May 2026

Thrilled and a big surprise at the end. Loved it!

Profile Avatar Ryan L. Apr 2026

Good read but veryyyy drawn out. It does put you in the story but unnecessarily long.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2026

Another page turner from Freida McFadden!

Profile Avatar BG Mar 2026

Was a little predictable…didn’t really like the ending.

Profile Avatar S 2. Mar 2026

Loved it!!

Profile Avatar Krystal C. Feb 2026

Was pretty good, I feel like the narrators fit the characters.

Profile Avatar Janice D. Oct 2025

really enjoyed the book

Profile Avatar Valerie G. Oct 2025

Quick and easy, enjoyable.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2025

slow at first then I was hooked

Profile Avatar KateinSD Sep 2025

Middle of the road book and narration.

Profile Avatar Jessttam Sep 2025

Honestly crazy story. I loved all of it sat through the whole thing from beginning to end. Couldn’t put the book down. Plus the narrator helped me stay engaged and feel the emotions.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2025

It was a okay book, I was interested in the mystery but the turtle talk was a bit annoying

Profile Avatar Leanne R. Aug 2025

I loved this read. Kept me guessing- true to McFadden form. I had whiplash by the end. Highly recommended.

Profile Avatar Ronya W. Aug 2025

Good book kinda funny too

Profile Avatar Dee B. Aug 2025

Very enjoyable, wanted to keep listening throughout the book.

Profile Avatar Sammie451 Jul 2025

Loved!

Profile Avatar Nancy C. Jul 2025

This is the first time I have read a book by this author. I found 3/4 of the book to be slow and uninteresting. I plodded through and the end did have a nice twist. I did not like either of the main characters. I'm not sure I would recommend this book to others but I understand this author is a very good author. So I will try another book of hers.

Profile Avatar Storytellerdt Jul 2025

The story has some good twisty bits. But it drags on a few places. But that could also be due to the personality of some of the characters. The narrator was pretty good, but again, the voice of the character made it difficult to distinguish what was the story and what were the choices of the narrator. All in all, à solid mystery.

Profile Avatar Kandace E. Jul 2025

This was a fun listen but I guessed the twist at the end about halfway through the book. I love the flow of her writing and it’s an easy story to follow. I really like the narrator! She was amazing!

Profile Avatar Jennifer F. Jul 2025

omg what a great book! did not expect thar ending! loved it!

Profile Avatar Margaret D. Jun 2025

Ok but annoying in places and the ending was dumb.

Profile Avatar Shirley M. Jun 2025

Really enjoyed this book. I raced through it in a day. Listened to a bit and read quite a lot of it

Profile Avatar Julie I. Jun 2025

Interesting plot, but I hated all the characters lol

Profile Avatar Adrian C. Jun 2025

Not too bad, almost had some similarities to “gone girl.” Overall I will listen to it again.

Profile Avatar Chris S. Jun 2025

Good read

Profile Avatar Mike B. Jun 2025

It was a book

Profile Avatar Rinamari R Jun 2025

Love it

Profile Avatar Greg W. Jun 2025

I didn’t finish the book.

Profile Avatar Cindy Lou Jun 2025

Could not finish. It was just dumb.

Profile Avatar David G. Jun 2025

Two narrators, one unreliable, make for an absorbing listen for those, like me, willing to suspend disbelief and swallow a long string of coincidences and barely credible time conjunctions. Great VIP perk pick, though, and a superb narrator.

Profile Avatar Stacey A. Jun 2025

For me I don’t feel like this is one of McFaddens better works. The story was predictable and tedious and then sort of jumps to the end.

Profile Avatar Kevin W. May 2025

A little different but still the same great twists

Profile Avatar MaryLynn May 2025

It was an interesting listen. Very predictable.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2025

Boring

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2025

it was a good thriller with some interesting twist in it. Although it seemed very similar to other books, the author has done, including the tenant. A lot of the same elements are present in this book that are in the tenant. It seems almost the same senses are written.

Profile Avatar Four W. May 2025

i don’t mind a plodding book. sometimes it’s good enough. but this was fairly predictable with really no like able characters, without redemption or remorse. and it lacked any humor. not my cuppa.

Profile Avatar Anitra P. May 2025

Liked the book but hated the email context in the book. There were some wow factors but wasn’t the best

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2025

I couldn’t stand to listen to 1 more email being read! I figured out the killer right away and the narrator’s voice and point of view were irritating to listen to. Sorry for the bad review but just being honest.

Profile Avatar Angelica M. May 2025

Disappointing. Lots of filler and irrelevant info.

Profile Avatar craig specht May 2025

This book was good, narrator was good too.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2025

This book was an absolute waste of time. A boring story that seems to drag on and on. The narration was decent, but it seemed as if it was a story for high school girls or maybe not even that

Profile Avatar Geneva W. May 2025

My first and last read by this author. Not sure what all the hype is with her writing. Not impressed at all.

Profile Avatar Laura R. May 2025

This book keeps you guessing about what’s going on which I enjoyed. I have read other books by this author and she’s a good writer. The reason I only gave it 3 stars is because one of the characters was so annoying, it took away from the enjoyment of the book. Every time the narrator was in this character’s voice I cringed.

Profile Avatar Ginalyn B. May 2025

Amazing twist of the story which I did not expected at all. Great story and written with much thought. Highly recommended.

Profile Avatar Victor W. May 2025

Good story line but the back and forth emails got very monotonous.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2025

Didn't see that twist coming

Profile Avatar Aloysia E. Apr 2025

The twists and turns made this a great book. I really enjoyed it!

Profile Avatar Shirk Mar 2025

Loved it. I can’t wait to hear more of her books

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2025

Nice book

Profile Avatar Neal Jan 2025

Fiction is not a genre I typically read, and we all know that much of the quality of an audiobook experience lies with the reader. This was my first read of McFadden and I feel I nailed both with this selection. It kept my interest, kept me guessing, & Alyson Krawchuk was excellent for the voice actor who I plan on following.

Profile Avatar Katie P. Jan 2025

Another great book from Freida, enjoyed the twist

Profile Avatar Melani L. Jan 2025

Excellent, loved the plot twist!

Profile Avatar Nelia Burger Jan 2025

good listen, great story. loved it

Profile Avatar Lauren K. Jan 2025

Loved it!!!!

Profile Avatar Adriana L. Jan 2025

Great book. Ending was crazyyy, didn’t expect that!

Profile Avatar Devans5 Jan 2025

I don't like this book. there was no character development and everyone in it sucks as a human being. however as stories go it's pretty good just in the end technically nothing happened.

Profile Avatar Hairgrlrachel07 Dec 2024

Her books always have so many twists and man this did not disappoint! All the way to the last sentence.

Profile Avatar RachelO Dec 2024

It is a light hearted mystery. There was nothing scary or sinister about it . A good listen that kept me engaged but not in my top 5 or anything like that.

Profile Avatar Emily B. Dec 2024

I kind of hated everyone in this story

Profile Avatar Bruce P. Dec 2024

Plot has a few twists but all are plausible. Narrator does an excellent job of voicing the various characters. Good listen.

Profile Avatar Sharon H. Dec 2024

I was a little bit annoyed with the style of writing in the beginning, but I eventually got used to it. I was on the fence whether or not I enjoyed it, but in the end, it was a good book.

Profile Avatar Ashley Mckinney Dec 2024

Lots of loose connections for this murder case and somewhat unrealistic but the book was okay.

Profile Avatar Petar V. Dec 2024

I noticed the author was popular, I wanted to give it a try, it was okay!

Profile Avatar NurseAppel Dec 2024

I wanted to like it. Unfortunately, this is the second Freida McFadden book I’ve listened to and both were a bust for me. I don’t know that I will give the author a third try. As for this book- let me start with the narrator. Her voice was painful to listen to. I know it was intentional for the character of Dawn but it was like nails on a chalk board. It is a monotone voice that sounds like an intellectually challenged person. This somewhat fits the character’s personality but it was overdone. Then as far as the story goes, it was a boring and unbelievable plot with an expected outcome. The incessantly repetitive way the story and narrator recall the emails back and forth between characters is so annoying and unnecessary, truly taking away from the intended story. I would not waste the time and money on this book. Just pass.

Profile Avatar danamashley Dec 2024

At the end of the book it started to get better. This author is better than this book. All the emailing in the book just about drove me over the edge. I had a hard time getting through it.

Profile Avatar kiannathevirgo Dec 2024

not my favorite

Profile Avatar Sam J. Dec 2024

Not the best book from the author, but definitely worth a lesson. A bit far fetched, but twists and turns keep you engaged. Feel like this would be a better physical read than audio read.

Profile Avatar Amy K. Dec 2024

I usually like Freida McFadden books, but this one was not my favorite. The reading of emails, while important to the story, was very anno’

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

So easy to get lost in Freida’s books. Before I knew it, it was over!I always try to predict the twists but I was wrong on this one! Great book!
