Du ser hende hver dag, men ved du egentlig, hvem hun er?To kvinder. Et kontor fuld af hemmeligheder. En frygtelig forbrydelse, der aldrig vil kunne tilgives. Dawn Schiff er mærkelig. Det synes alle i hvert fald i kosttilskudsvirksomheden Vixed, hvor Dawn arbejder som bogholder. Hun siger altid noget forkert. Hun har ikke nogen venner. Og hun sidder altid på sin pind præcis klokken 8.45 hver morgen.Så da Dawn en morgen ikke møder på arbejde, kommer det som en overraskelse for hendes kollega Natalie Farrell, der er smuk og populær og virksomhedens topsælger igennem fem år. Så får hun en meget foruroligende anonym opringning, der ændrer alt … Det viser sig, at Dawn ikke bare var en særling, der holdt sig for sig selv – nogen var ude efter hende. Og pludselig er Natalies skæbne uløseligt knyttet til Dawns, da hun bliver viklet ind i et sygt spil som kattens leg med musen og må spørge sig selv: Hvem er egentlig offeret her? Men én ting står utroligt klart: Nogen hadede Dawn Schiff. Nok til at dræbe.”Lad være med at begynde på en Freida McFadden-bog sent om aftenen. Du vil ikke kunne lægge den fra dig!” – Natalie Barelli ”Freida McFadden er meget hurtigt på vej til at blive min yndlingsforfatter. Det her er min fjerde bog af forfatteren, og jeg har elsket hver eneste af dem ...” 5/5 – Kristen’s Book Korner ”Kollegaen er en isnende, psykologisk spændingsroman fuld af forviklinger og fortalt af to ekstremt utroværdige fortællere, som gør det nær ved umuligt at nå frem til, hvem den egentlige skurk er.” - Crossmyheartbookreviews “Jeg elsker Freida McFaddens måde at skrive på; hun får mig altid til at blive ved med at gætte på, hvad der kommer til at ske. Og hendes seneste bog, Kollegaen, er ingen undtagelse. Kollegaen var fuld af så mange overraskelser. Netop når jeg troede, at jeg vidste, hvad der var på færde, skete der noget uventet, som pegede mig i en ny retning. Jeg tabte underkæben så mange gange og sad bare og måbede. Hvis du er på udkig efter en overraskende psykologisk spændingsroman, så anbefaler jeg bestemt Freida McFadden’s Kollegaen.” – The Bookish Libra ”Jeg blev oppe til klokken et om natten for at læse den her færdig, for jeg kunne ikke lægge den fra mig. Freida har bare en måde at fange én på, og jeg elskede hvert minut.” - @mamaisallbooked
