Paris masterfully builds suspense throughout the novel, using short chapters and alternating timelines to keep the tension high. The pacing is quick, and the suspense is relentless as the reader uncovers the horrific reality of Jack’s true nature. What makes Behind Closed Doors particularly chilling is how the author makes you question the concept of control and manipulation within relationships. The psychological aspects of the story are unnerving, and the tension between Grace and Jack is palpable.

The characters are deeply flawed and well developed, especially Grace, who is both a victim and a survivor. Her strength and determination to find a way out of her situation is one of the most compelling aspects of the book. Jack, on the other hand, is one of the most chilling antagonists you’ll encounter in a thriller. His manipulative, controlling behavior makes him a truly terrifying character.

If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers that focus on the dynamics of toxic relationships, Behind Closed Doors is a must read. It’s a gripping, edge of your seat thriller that will leave you stunned by its shocking twists and gripping conclusion.

Rating: 4/5
