San Francisco Book Review Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. Hes 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. Youre hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. Youd like to get to know Grace better. But its 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 doesnt 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 whats 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.

Warning! This is scarier than a lot of horror because it is easy to imagine this as a true crime novel. I kept thinking that this could be real, and if someone were in this situation, how could they get out? I didn't want to put this down. So it is creepy good. Be prepared, though.

This book reminded me of American psycho. I really hated that book because of its unsatisfying ending. The authors point, in this novel, I believe, was to take you into the life of a domestic violence victim and make you realize that it could be anyone. I kept thinking, she could say something to her parents, she could tell her friends she wanted a divorce. Very gripping, one of the best books I‘ve read in awhile.
