Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. 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 … 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.

So, I’ve had this in my Nook library for a few years. I downloaded it on the recommendation of a good friend. She absolutely said it was a must read. She is absolutely correct. If you’re into psychological thrillers this is a good one! It’s not quite Gone Girl, it’s not as twisted or complex, but it’s got a lot of diabolical stuff going on just the same.
Jack is one twisted individual. He’s a true psychopath. Unfortunately, Grace doesn’t have a clue until it’s too late. The only thing that will save her now is herself. As Jack shows more and more of his true self Grace has to start thinking like him in order to save herself and her sister, Millie. The problem? She’s on a time schedule….and it’s just run out.
Diabolical, twisted, evil, and horrifying are all adjectives to perfectly describe Behind Closed Doors. It doesn’t take as much thought to figure out what’s coming as in some other psychological thrillers, but it’s still shocking when it does.
I love it when an author can keep me on the edge of my seat, anticipating what’s coming around the bend. Behind Closed Doors was a unique and thrilling read.
It feels so good when you dive into a book from a new author to you and you are blown away by it. Behind Close Doors is a suspense/triller like no other. It keeps you on the edge of your sit every single page. You will be constantly asking yourself why oh why??!!! You wont want to put it down for one second. It will make you question sanity and how are people really like behind closed doors. Maybe your neighbor is not as friendly?, maybe your coworker like to do naughty strange things? , maybe I’m a weirdo?!! Jjajaja. The thing is; so many things can happen in the life of a married couple and we wouldn’t know it.
“He prides himself on uttering only the truth, and enjoys that I am the only one who understands the meaning behind his words”.
In this book we get to go inside the walls of Jack and Grace Angel house. They are the epitome of PERFECTION. Perfect wife, perfect husband, perfect house, perfect job. Just PERFECT EVERYTHING, right??!! Ooooh no, so many things aren’t as we see them and what would that may be would you ask? Well that’s for me to know and for you to find out. Trust me is sooo good. One thing I will let you know is that I have NEVER EVER hated a character as much as I hate Jack Angel. The man is a sadistic psychopath. A wolf wearing sheeps clothing. So go see how this man can make your skin scrawled!!!
“It’s a shame he’s such a sadistic bastard, because he has wonderful manners”.
Wonderfully written, creepy, scary and in every way disturbing. Lots of action with compelling characters, even if you want to quit reading you can‘t. I don’t usually read stories like this since I find them unbearably frightening but I just could not put this book down. Jack a man worthy of hatred and death. B.A. Paris books are a must read even if you are terrified.
A true psychological thriller, kept me turning pages way past when I should have been sleeping. Very well written and would thoroughly recommend to anyone who enjoys this genre.
Wow!! Not at all what I expected in a great and twisted manner! Great story!
This was a great gritty book you could sink your teeth into…I enjoyed it very much
This book was as delicious as Gone Girl.
Grace meets Jack while taking her younger sister, Millie, who has down syndrome, to the park for a picnic. He’s handsome, chivalrous, and unattached. It’s a whirl-wind romance filled with all the feels as Jack sweeps her off her feet, Grace can’t begin to explain how lucky she is when Jack proposes marriage, accepting the future as Millie will be moving in with the newlyweds after she graduates from school in a few months.
To the outside world, Grace has the perfect husband, the perfect home, and the perfect life…
Creepy Good and a very impressive debut novel! This is another new author for me to add to my favorites list!
After a whirlwind romance of just six months, Grace and Jack marry. Jack is a lawyer that represents abused woman and Grace thinks she’s finally found the perfect husband…one who seems to love her younger sister (with Downs Syndrome) as much as she does.
“The perfect marriage or the perfect lie?”
I loved this book and highly recommend it!
Behind closed doors was a page turner for sure- I listen to this on audible and the narrator was amazing! One of the best narrations I’ve listened to. I was hooked on this book from page 1. The ending was predictable which was a let down for me. I still highly recommend this book if you haven’t tried an audible book lately I’d spring for this one.
whoa this book is excellent, I really enjoyed it. I was so engrossed, read it in one setting. One of my favorite books, great characters and settings.
Great Job Ms. Paris
I highly highly recommend
Could not put it down!
I loved this book as it kept me guessing for most of the book. Some twists and turns! I plan to read her other two books soon.
This book was chilling from the beginning. If you love SUSPENSE, this is the one to read. Hard to put down, but a necessity to catch your breath
Wow! Second book I’ve read from BA Paris. It didn’t disappoint!! Definite must read!
Was an easy read with a great ending.
Sooooo good! The action started right away in this book. I was always on the edge of my seat wondering what was happening next! Very well done!
Read this book in one sit down. The bad guy was so bad all I wanted was that he died someway.
This is a dark thriller made me think a lot of how you can get into something like this situation.
Could.not.put.it.down! Just like her book, “The Breakdown,” which I also read in two-days! Both were wonderful thrillers. I can’t say much without giving away the stories. Waiting for her next book that comes out June 2018, “Bring Me Back.”
