A review by dandelionwine1928
Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris
3.0
I really enjoyed this book, so much so that I read it in about two days. It was instantly gripping. One of the most interesting parts to me is that you know how the story is going to end, you just don't know what events will lead there, or how the end will come about. Which is really unique for a mystery/thriller. This isn't a who's-the-bad-guy type of mystery. You know who the bad guy is. You hate the bad guy. And you hate him even more as the story goes on. This is more of a how-will-she-get-out-of-this mystery.
My review is rather short and to the point, because I'm afraid of spoiling anything. I liked the book, but I think there was definitely room for improvement. I think the characters were strong, although it would have been nice to see a bit more dimension in all of them. The plot drew me in right away and kept me interested throughout the entire book. I didn't particularly like the switches between past and present tense, but it was something I got used to. This was a debut novel, I think, and for a first novel, it was very solid. I'm looking forward to seeing what else this author comes up with and I'm interested to see more depth and dimension in her future novels.
