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.

I just finished reading this book and I would give it a 10 star rating if I could! This book is a domestic thriller that will have your pulse pounding. I wanted to intervene into the story to help the main character soooo bad. I can’t say much about the story as it might spoil it. Read it! If you like a surprisingly GREAT ending you will not be disappointed! This was the first book by B.A. Paris that I have read. I will definitely be reading more of her books!
3.5 Stars for this really quick read. Late to reading this book, but glad my Book Club picked it.
Premise of the story line was good. Writing was excellent, drew me in immediately. Characters were one dimensional. Loved Millie! Despised Jack, Grace was pathetic. Esther could have played a bigger part then she did. Grace and Millie’s parents, worthless.
Karma is a bitch! After a whirlwind courtship, Jack marries Grace. After almost 2 years of abuse, a reason to finally take a stand is in sight for Grace. Jack, with his psychotic personality, has big plans for Millie, the adorable teenage Down Syndrome sister of Grace is coming to live with them. The plans are hideous, Grace is beside herself, and Millie can sense that Jack is pure evil.
Will definitely read the author again. Pull up a sand chair and read this at the beach, or snuggled under a blanket with a roaring fire. Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and the author for this ARC. Opinion is my own.
One of the wors5 books I’ve ever read
Quite literally did not put it down until it was done! The title perfectly describes the story, behind closed doors things are the opposite of what they appear to be and how!
Appearances are, sometimes, deceiving. Couldn’t put it down.
This was the first book I read/listened from this author and oh wow it was good. I recommend it and I will look for more books from B.A. Paris.
I finished this is 2 days! Couldn’t put it down
Page Turner. Could not put it down! Great read!! Twisted
This book started off slow and then it took off like a rocket. WOW!!! I didn’t see that coming. I knew there was something suspect about Grace and Jack’s marriage, but never in a billion years could I have guessed Jack Angel would be such a devil. How Grace endured his evil behind, only God knows. This was a nailbiter. At every turn I wanted Grace to gain her freedom. I loved how the book was structured, slowly revealing that Jack was indeed a psychopath. I loved how it took us back to the beginning and revealed how Grace ended up in this deplorable situation. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I prayed for a satisfying end. My prayer was answered. A must read.
one of my First phycological thriller and it was so interesting that i couldn’t put the book down. Loved it
Just okay
I could not put this book down. Loved the ending!
This is the best psychological thriller book I have ever read.
Once you stop reading, cannot put this book down. Excellent book.
Chilling!
The author did a great job of making you feel strongly about the characters in this book. Great read! Makes the reader stop and question…what really goes on behind closed doors. Absolutely love Grace’s determination to make sure that her special needs sister is taken care of and not allowed to be a victim. Highly recommend this book!
Engrossing.
Not my typical read but ended up enjoying the dark suspense.
A heart-pounding thriller with a great ending!
Although I have not finished this book as yet – I am writing a review because it is so good. The author developed the characters so well that the reader really feels empathy and anger at the same time. What would you do? Well I need to go finish the book – I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good thriller. I. would read this author again and again
