Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris



And why are there bars on one of the bedroom windows?

The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie?











  1. This sounds like a very well crafted mystery/thriller. I didn't used to consider myself faint of heart, but I'm much less interested in reading dark stuff these days. I don't know if it's being a mom now or what, but my stomach isn't quite so strong anymore!

    1. I totally understand that feeling, Christine - nowadays I have to break up the dark reads and read a much fewer amount since becoming a parent.

  2. You summed up my feelings about this book perfectly!! I felt the same way while reading it - I hated the story and how uncomfortable it made me, but couldn't stop reading. I had initially given it a lower rating, but had to bump it up because the writing is brilliant, despite the fact I didn't like the plot. I'm so glad you found your first 5 star read of the year! Great review, Jade!

    1. Behind Closed Doors is the kind of book that leaves you so conflicted! Thanks!

  3. Bars on the window? Yikes there definitely sounds like there's something dark going on! I've seen this one around a bit and it does sound like a very well crafted psych thriller, but it does sound dark too. And I love it when a book wraps up so well on the last page. :)

    I probably won't read it because of the dark nature but it's good to know it's so well written. I do love a good psychological thriller.

    1. Psychological thrillers make for such good reading - the plots tend to be complex and the they're usually page turners. Having now read this book, I can see why others are avoiding it!

  4. This book was very disturbing but well written as you commented. LOVED the ending. :)

    Excellent review!!

    I don't think I could watch the movie either.

    ENJOY your week, and thank you for coming by my blog.
