Even stuff that seems random in the beginning ends up coming together in the end. There aren’t a bunch of cheap scares or fake-outs in terms of the little cliff-hangers in the plot.
Most of the occurrences in Lock Every Door happen for a specific reason. I was genuinely impressed at how well put together the plot is. I never felt like the book dragged at any point. Information, reveals and plot progression is really well paced. The writing is solid, and the mystery progresses at a steady clip to keep things interesting. There’s rumors of murders, hauntings and even Satanic rituals surrounding the Bartholomew, so part of the mystery is that you don’t know exactly what you’re dealing with for much of the book. In this story, it’s not clear until the end what type of story this even is.
Lock Every Door was one of the more solidly constructed mystery/thrillers that I’ve read in recent memory. However, it seems there are those around her that would prefer those secrets stay buried. When she’s offered a chance to “apartment sit” for an apartment at a beautiful, upscale building called The Bartholomew, she jumps at the chance, despite knowing that it all seems a little too good to be true.Īs Jules begins to look into the many stories that surround the Bartholomew, she soon starts to uncover secrets of its dark and haunted past. Jules Larsen is a young woman with less than $500 bucks in her checking account, a broken engagement and no job. Plot Summaryįor the Detailed Plot Summary, click here or scroll all the way down.
