The Coworker by Freida McFadden

Product Details

About the Book

The Coworker is Freida McFadden's fast-paced psychological thriller of workplace suspicion, obsession, and a disappearance that unravels far more than one office's secrets. Natalie is a beautiful and popular sales representative for a Boston nutritional supplement company, who discovers that her normally punctual colleague Dawn is mysteriously absent from work. Dawn — a socially awkward and lonely accountant obsessed with turtles — had messaged Natalie the day before, requesting a meeting, and Natalie finds a turtle figurine left on her own desk; when she answers Dawn's ringing phone, a voice pleads with her for help.

After Dawn fails to show up at the office, Natalie visits her house, where she finds no sign of Dawn but discovers blood on the living room carpet. Panicking, Natalie gives herself a false alibi to the police, claiming she was with her new boyfriend Caleb, an IT worker at the company, all night. As the investigation deepens, the police grow suspicious of Natalie herself, uncovering her fingerprints in Dawn's home and emails revealing that Dawn had felt bullied and rejected by the woman she'd tried to befriend. Natalie is also revealed to be sleeping with her married boss, Seth, further complicating the case against her. When a body suspected to be Dawn's is found, beaten beyond recognition, and a bloody ceramic turtle is discovered planted in Natalie's own laundry basket, Natalie is forced to untangle who is framing her — and what truly happened to the coworker she never really knew.
