The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie?
Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. You might not want to like them, but you do.
You'd like to get to know Grace better. But it's difficult, because you realise Jack and Grace are never apart.
Some might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers the phone. Or how she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn't work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows.
Behind Closed Doors by B A Paris is an unforgettable, page–turning debut thriller that will appeal to fans of Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins and Jodi Picoult.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Newlyweds Grace and Jack Angel seem to lead a perfect life in British author Paris's gripping debut, but appearances can be deceiving. In addition to being a handsome, successful attorney, Jack is also a sadistic psychopath, and the couple's picture-perfect home in Spring Eaton, England, doubles as Grace's prison. She makes the postnuptial discovery that he's a controlling, sadistic misogynist who murdered his mother and has disturbing plans for Grace and her younger sister, Milly. In delineating the ways in which Jack creates a physical and psychological prison for Grace, Paris pushes credibility one step over the line. But with reader Maguire's help in making listeners feel every torturous moment of Grace's hellish married life and her almost feverish plan to gain freedom for herself and her sister, credibility is trumped by emotion. Along with Grace's helplessness, Maguire provides the voice of sweet innocence for Millie, as well as the convincingly soft-spoken, kindly Jack and the equally credible but icy cold, domineering, and psychotic post-wedding version. A St. Martin's hardcover.

I enjoyed it! But I had hoped for a more painful death for the bad “George Clooney”
Chilling
It’s hard to believe but one hears about cruelty to spouses all the time. Truth is stranger than fiction but maybe not this story
