Book Review: Behind Closed Doors

Whether you indecisively stare aimlessly inside your local Barnes & Noble’s aisles while sipping a caramel macchiato, or find it nearly impossible to get your hands on a good read that hooks your interests without knowing the ending three chapters deep, finding a decent novel can be tricky to say the very least.

However, that’s where a little help pops in. There isn’t a genre of books that are secluded to someone’s interests.

On this week’s bookshelf, we have Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris is a must for any thrill-seeking, plot-twist fanatic. Library Journal calls it, “A can’t put down psychological thriller.”

Everyone knows a couple like Grace and Jack, the protagonists of this novel; inseparable, seemingly have it all. White picket fence, charm, wealth. Exquisite dinner parties. But what happens when the quests leave and the door locks behind them?


This book is an easy and quick read, and you’re not going to want to

 put it down. Paris speaks to the reader in a way that encapsulates them straight into the story. He has written this book allowing his audience to empathize with some characters, and despise others. Each with passions that are so raw. And even when you think you’ve got it all figured out, the twists are as quick as the pages turn.

Sit down and pick this book up. It makes you feel like you are a detective, infatuated with the red flags that arise from the pages. Throughout the chapters, Paris ricochets the reader back and forth between present day and years past, keeping your anticipation level at an all-time high. The more that is uncovered, the more realistic and less blurred the lines become.

Paris makes us wonder: Is the person you have loved really all they seem to be? Behind Closed Doors wasn’t coined an instant New York Times and USA Today Bestselling debut psychological thriller for nothing. Although it is a few years old, Paris’ tale of perfect appearances is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It is thrilling up to the very last page.
