About this deal

I had mixed feelings about Grace as a character but was very clear on my feelings for Jack - I did not like him, I hated him. Heavner isn’t exactly mollified when Tempe, aided by retired police detective Skinny Slidell and a host of experts, puts a name to the dead man. In the basement, Grace finds the puppy that Jack had gotten for her before the wedding dead from dehydration.

and as much as i hate to use this review space to rant about something only tangentially related to the book, these things matter to me.

Millie loves music and she was enjoying herself so much that she got up from her seat and began to dance in front of the bandstand.

in which assessment there is no pejorative value judgment implied - it is a marriage thriller, after all. There seems to be a great deal of new releases on the best sellers lists for psychological-thriller style novels about relationships between married couples and they all seem to be readable but quite mediocre and this was among one of three that I downloaded that has fantastic reviews but failed to deliver a satisfying and credible ending. But when I knelt down beside her and found her body cold and rigid, I thought about the terrible death she must have endured. We step back to try and clear the air of the noxious fumes, but we and our senses are held hostage by the toxicity of what lies beneath this panoramic view. It was unbelievable that Jack could wield so much influence, but it worked for the storyline I suppose.

Though Grace has promised to visit Millie in the hospital on the way to the airport for their honeymoon, Grace feels guilty that she marries without her younger sister present. Jack's forte is getting the victims to trust him enough to tell him what has been going on,' Diane, who I suspect of being a little in love with Jack, explains. maybe ive been reading some pretty farfetched mysteries/thrillers lately, but this felt pretty realistic and plausible, which is probably why i enjoyed it so much. In this way, Paris builds backstory and current action into storylines that build in parallel and meet at the end. If you can dig deep and find it in you to curb your need for concrete common sense and logic for the sake of some truly fun fiction, then you, my friend, are the perfect prospect for Behind Closed Doors.

Yet Paris undercuts her own suspense by allowing Jack to, at great length, recount his coming-to-villainy back story. Some scenes were full of tension, some scenes will leave you with your mouth hanging open and some scenes will frustrate you like hell. Neither of them were going to read the book but they ended up being quite interested in the story once I started telling them about it. She's the complete opposite of Diane — tall, blonde, slim, reserved — and I can't help respecting her for being the first person to step into our house and not go on about how beautiful it is. While I can’t say I loved this one, I liked it enough to consider reading another book from this author.

Not wanting her to give them to Jack, I move smoothly towards her and she instinctively holds them out to me. In another book I read two years ago ---One of my personal favorites about two aging Gay men --after WWII --"Hide" by Matthew Griffin", there is a very tragic accident where a dog is killed --but it was 'not' intentional. And when will she get any time to herself and an opportunity to even do anything remotely like changing her life situation. Grace I thought at times was shallow, but the more I read the more I could understand her situation. It must seem strange that these are often kept shut during the day, but as Jack tells anyone who asks, with a job like his, good security is one of his priorities.

Because I want book authors to be working hard at taking me on a journey of excitement and discovery, not audaciously reaching over my head for a grab at the bigger bucks that a movie starring one Mr Clooney would provide them.Even though I am attractive, Jack's film-star good looks mean that people think I'm lucky he wanted to marry me. It transpires that Jack and Grace have been married just one year and that Grace gave up her job (a job she admits she loved) so that she could be home more often to support her husband. Yes, I was originally sold on it by the plotline description and the number of five star reviews it had received, but if I had started to read the much smaller number of really negative reviews first, I would never have picked up the novel in the first place, and that would have been a shame. My eyes fall on the box of expensive chocolates she has just taken out of her bag and I feel a flicker of excitement. It's such a beautiful pink that I hope Jack will plant it where I'll be able to see it from the bedroom window.
