literaryrachael 's review for:

Death Row by Freida McFadden
3.5

Short and fast-paced with an interesting twist but a lot of overdone tropes. Maybe it's because I just recently read The Tenant, but the cheating husband and the scorned-woman murderess protagonist felt overused and lacking in originality. Still, I have to give Frieda some kudos for her restraint in making this a novella and not a full-length novel.
