"This book was crazy. Jack and Grace seem like the perfect couple. He, with looks and wealth and she with elegance and charm. Though they are newlyweds they seem to have it all. Their home is perfect, as she is a masterful gardener and cook who throws fascinating dinner parties. Part of Grace's charm was that she was a doting overseer of her special needs sister. This book was very unbelievable and therefore I had trouble connecting with the characters. I wouldn't waste time reading it. "

“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“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, Starred ReviewNewlyweds 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 WEEKLYThe writing was incredible, and the pace is quick, offering up too many chills to count...Behind Closed Doors screams: Stay single!
— SUSPENSE MAGAZINEThis debut is guaranteed to haunt you — especially if you're about to tie the knot. 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.

— Jennifer , 6/22/2021" This audiobook is excellent! This story is so enticing I found it difficult to stop listening. It took me only three days to complete this audiobook. I couldn’t wait to hear what happened at the end! "
— Joanna, 8/28/2018" This book pulls you in and immediately gets you emotionally involved. I held my breath, I sighed, I gasped, I dreamed about it and then I cried when it was over. Esther... wow! "
— 9/8/2017" The story develops quickly enough and the time flipping from past to present keeps this book suspenseful. I also love the development of the characters. I was expecting expecting a story of a beaten down DV victim; however, what I found was so much more! "
— AngelaO, 5/10/2017" The way the book is written, with time jumps, was key in keeping me hooked...at times I had trouble believing the main character would indeed behave this way, but I suppose domestic abuse can take many forms. I recommend. "
