My review

The 2016 debut bloggers can’t stop raving about. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train and The Ice Twins

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace.

He
has looks and wealth, she has charm and elegance. You might not want to
like them, but you do. Though, you’d like to get to know Grace better.

But it’s difficult, because you realise Jack and Grace are never apart.

Some
might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers the
phone. Or how she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t
work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. And why
there are bars on one of the bedroom windows.

Sometimes, the perfect marriage is the perfect lie.

What readers are saying:

“Debut-novelist Paris adroitly toggles between the recent past and
the present in building the suspense of Grace’s increasingly unbearable
situation, as time becomes critical and her possible solutions narrow.
This is one readers won’t be able to put down.” ―Booklist 

“Making her smash debut, Paris [keeps] the suspense level high. In the same vein as Gone Girl or Girl on the Train, this is a can’t-put-down psychological thriller.” ―Library Journal 

“This
debut is guaranteed to haunt you ― especially if you’re about to tie
the knot. Paris’s thriller asks the question: ‘The perfect marriage or
the perfect lie?’ Jack and Grace, the couple at the center of this
totally enthralling novel, are so clearly not what they seem you’ll have
no choice but to read and read and read until their darkest secrets are
revealed. Warning: brace yourself.” ―Bustle (10 New Thrillers to Read This Summer)

“A gripping domestic thriller…the sense of believability and terror that engulfs Behind Closed Doors doesn’t waver.” ―The Associated Press, picked up by The Washington Post

“Behind Closed Doors
takes a classic tale to a whole new level…This was one of the best and
[most] terrifying psychological thrillers I have ever read…each chapter
brings you further in, to the point where you feel how Grace must feel.
The desperation, the feeling that no one will believe you and yet still
wanting to fight because someone you care deeply about will get hurt.” ―San Francisco Book Review

“Paris grabs the reader from the beginning with a powerful and electrifying tale. Behind Closed Doors, a novel sure to make one’s skin crawl, also reveals no one truly knows what does go on behind closed doors.” ―New York Journal of Books

“Newlyweds
Grace and Jack Angel seem to lead a perfect life in British author
Paris’s gripping debut, but appearances can be deceiving…Grace’s
terror is contagious, and Millie’s impending peril creates a ticking
clock that propels this claustrophobic cat-and-mouse tale toward its
grisly, gratifying conclusion.” ―Publishers Weekly
