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.
My Thoughts
Never though I was going to hate a character more than I did Joe Goldberg from Caroline Kepnes book "You", but I did. Jack Angel, but interesting enough, even though I hated him but like Joe, these type of characters are a huge part why I love mystery, thriller books so much. They bring so much to the story that it would not be the same without them.
I loved this book. I enjoyed every page of it. It made feel sad, scared, anxious. I could feel the fear in every word and every sentence. But at the same time it made me happy to see how brave Grace was and how she managed to escape from such a monster, yes, that is the one word I would use to describe Jack Angel. Grace truly loved him and he did not deserve to be loved like that.
Behind Closed Door is one of these books that you cannot stop thinking about even after finish it. I could not stop thinking about how evil of a character Jack is and how innocent Grace is at the beginning and how cruel he was to her but all these elements plus a fantastic writing make this book a master piece, one that I totally recommend. B.A. Paris is now one of my favorite authors.
