Synopsis

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING DEBUT PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER YOU CAN'T MISS

The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie?

A hair-raising debut, both unsettling and addictive...A chilling thriller that will keep you reading long into the night. Mary Kubica, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Good Girl

This is one readers won t be able to put down. Booklist (starred review)

"A can t-put-down psychological thriller. Library Journal (starred review)

This debut is guaranteed to haunt you...Warning: brace yourself. Bustle (10 New Thrillers to Read This Summer)

The sense of believably and terror that engulfs Behind Closed Doors doesn't waver. The Associated Press, picked up by The Washington Post

This was one of the best and most terrifying psychological thrillers I have ever read. San Francisco Book Review


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 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.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS tells you by its title that something is going on at home that puts the lie to outward appearances. So it’s safe to say that this book is about a bad marriage. But my calling it a “bad marriage” is like the author Mary Kubica calling it “unsettling.” Both are understatements. A woman gives up her career because her fiancé, a busy lawyer, fears he will hardly ever see her after they are married. He is happy to share responsibility for her younger sister who has Down Syndrome. But what does he have in store for them? The story is simple, no great shakes. It could be told in a segment of a TV series like “Law and Order.” It isn’t, as some reviews have called it, “unputdownable.” For me, it was the opposite. I found it so unsettling and repetitive that I had to put the book down after I ended each chapter. I won this book from St. Martin’s Press through a bookreporter.com special contest.

Silvers Reviews , November 16, 2016 (view all comments by Silvers Reviews)
Poor Kitty Deverill had a lot to deal with at her young age, but she was spunky, delightful, and resilient. Kitty was a character I really enjoyed, and THE GIRL IN THE CASTLE was a book I really enjoyed.. ​THE GIRL IN THE CASTLE is set around 1910 and ​lets us into​ ​the ​lives of aristocrats and the lives of servants in a castle. ​I enjoyed the talk of life in both worlds and the Deverill family.​ THE GIRL IN THE CASTLE also addressed the issue of Ireland and the British during the fight for Irish liberty. That part of history was interesting, but I liked the family saga better. The personal side of the lives of the characters intrigued me. THE GIRL IN THE CASTLE was a fun, informative read with unforgettable characters. ​Ms. Montefiore's writing is exquisite and detailed easily allowing the reader to step into every situation ​with the characters. ENJOY if you read THE GIRL IN THE CASTLE. The book became better and better as I turned each page. You will fall in love with the characters and wish you could join in the family fun at the castle in Ireland and in their homes in London. The gorgeous cover pulls you in along with the marvelous story line. 4/5 This book was given to me free of charge and without compensation in return for an honest review.
