Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris 293 pages

The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie?" - Goodreads
I couldn't put this book down and finished it in almost one day. I won't say it was an original plot line, but I enjoyed the journey nonetheless. I didn't have as much sympathy for the protagonist as the author might have wanted me to have, she got on my nerves more than once, but I did care what happened to her and her sister. I definitely hated the antagonist, he was everything that readers love to hate. I wish his ending had been even more excruciating just because the author made me hate him so much. The writing was good, a little repetitive in the middle, but good. I liked this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes suspense and psychological thrillers, however I would caution not to expect a new take on the genre.
