Über diesen Titel

The instant New York Times and USA Today best-selling 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 best-selling author of The Good Girl)

"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)

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 best-selling author B. A. Paris comes the gripping thriller and international phenomenon Behind Closed Doors.

The story makes this book but the narrator was excellent at conveying the tone and personalities of the characters.

This book was amazing! I couldn't stop listening! The way the story goes back and forth from the present to past, and slowly the timeline creeps in closer and closer was very thrilling.
Great story and great reader.

Gripping!

Von Anfang an super spannend. Klar, ein Ding für Frauen. Sehr sympathische selbstlose Heldin lässt sich gefühlsmäßig einwickeln bis zum bösen Erwachen. Man kann sich gut rein versetzen und fiebert mit. Interessant gemacht durch ständigen Wechsel zwischen Gegenwart und Retrospektive. Wenn man nicht unbedingt Tiefgang braucht, dafür aber sich mitreißen lassen will von einer gar nicht so unwahrscheinlichen Story..... Goldrichtig! Ich hab s genossen!

Wenig Tiefgang, dafür spannend wie Sau

Ich habe das Buch in einem Rutsch gehört. Konnte einfach nicht aufhören, das kann ich nicht allzu oft von mir behaupten und würde das Buch daher wärmstens weiter empfehlen.

Sehr gutes Buch

This story is certainly thrilling in that you want to go on to know the end. Still, while listening, I had doubts about how probable that story was. I find the heroine's (lacking) reaction rather hard to swallow. OK, all this increases the tension, but I kept asking myself if Grace did have no other way out than the way she took in the end (though it was a highly gratifying way to the revenge-thirsty reader). In a situation where you want to sacrifice yourself to save somebody else, who you cannot save despite your sacrifice, sacrificing yourself does not make sense (if you get my meaning). In this case, taking care of number 1 is your priority.
Apart from this lack in probability level, I cannot really say that it was a nice listen, as the whole story is rather disgusting. But it has a thrilling quality, so you want to go on listening.

Kind of an incredible story

This book gripped me, and I listened to it in one go -- more or less. If you're a fan of the TV series 'criminal minds' you'll probably enjoy it, although it isn't as gory as the TV series. There's a lot of suspense, though, the atmosphere is oppressive and scary, and the whole situation seems so very hopeless.
I've seen other readers compare it to Gone Girl and Girl on the Train. I can't do that, because I have read neither. I don't think all these comparisons to other books are fair anyway, except for giving a potential reader a hint of the direction the book takes.

This book is fast paced, scary, and I couldn't switch it off. Georgia Maguire as the narrator was an excellent choice, she created the exact atmosphere which compelled me to listen to this book within just one day.

Gripping, scary

Narration very good. Story subject interesting but takes its time to make you want to keep listening. Outcome predictable.

Good but not gripping
