Review by
Marlene Engel
Jack is a handsome, successful attorney who fights for the
rights of those involved in domestic violence.
Grace spends a lot of time traveling as a buyer for Harrods. But things change drastically shortly after
they marry. While on their honeymoon, Grace learns who the real Jack is. The one with a violent, criminal past, the
one who’s controlling and abusive, and the one who is plotting to kill her
special needs sister.
To the outside world they appear to be the perfect couple:
living in a beautiful house, hosting nice dinner parties. While around friends Jack always plays the
role of doting husband; always at Grace’s side and even agreeing to allow Grace’s
sister to come live with them after graduation.
But her friends start getting concerned when she’s constantly turning
down lunch invites. Of course Jack has
the perfectly scripted answer: she’s
anxious about having her sister stay with them.
But they aren’t buying it.
Since being married she no longer works, is unreachable (as
she has no cell phone or email address) and seems to hole up in her house with
no contact with the outside world. What
they once thought was a storybook marriage, they are now beginning to question …
Behind Closed Doors is a heart
pounding, psychological thriller debut novel by B.A. Paris. To think that things like this happen in real
life is terrifying, but the author writes it in a way that captivates you. With complex characters and a hauntingly
addictive storyline, this is a book that will be talked about for a long time
to come.
