He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He's a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You're hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You'd like to get to know Grace better. But it's difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable. Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn't work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows. Some might wonder what's really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed. From bestselling author B.A. Paris comes the gripping thriller and international phenomenon Behind Closed Doors.BUY THE BOOK

This psychological thriller was fast paced for the first two thirds. Then parts of the story became quite unbelievable to me. Generally a fun read.
First time reading this author and now I am hooked. If you like a darkness to your psychological thrillers, you won't be disappointed with this book.
Grace is thin, blonde and absolutely beautiful - the perfect housewife. Sheâs a wonderful cook and gardener⦠to the naked eye, sheâs annoyingly perfect. She adores her younger sister who is disabled. Jack is the picture perfect husband - beyond attractive, a wealthy and charming lawyer who defends women who are abused by their spouses. To their friends, Jack and Grace seem like newlyweds that are so in love that they cannot go anywhere without one another. But once the house is empty and the party is over, do you ever really know what goes on behind closed doorsâ¦?
Wow. I listened to this on audible thanks to a recommendation from @chapters. This book was AMAZING. If you are a thriller/suspense lover, this book is for you! It gave me so much anxiety reading it. Grace is our main character that narrates the entire book. She alternates between the past and present and it was very easy to follow the narration. I loved the flashbacks because it was absolutely necessary for building the characters and it helped you understand them better. I never knew what was going to happen next and thatâs my favorite type of book! I am definitely going to be looking into more titles by this author!

Wow. Just- wow. When I first started this book, it disturbed me so much that I wasnât sure if I wanted to finish it. Iâm so glad I did. This was one of the most unique and anxiety- causing books Iâve read in a long time. I wonât give any spoilers away but I will say one thing- animal lovers beware, there may be a trigger for you in this book as there was for me. However, I got past it and finished the book and Iâm so glad that I did. An emotional, heart wrenching story, about survival and fear, this book will make you second guess every single person you meet- and rightfully so. This book reminds us that you never know what secrets someone can be hiding.
