Publisher's Summary

The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie?

Jack has looks and wealth; Grace has charm and elegance. You might not want to like them, but you do. You'd like to get to know Grace better. But it's difficult, because Jack and Grace are never apart.

Some might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers the phone. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows.

Sometimes the perfect marriage is the perfect lie.

Critic Reviews

"This book just has to be huge.... I flew through it in two breathless sittings. Quite simply: astounding." (S. J. I. Holliday, author of Black Wood)

Disappointing

The idea of the story line appealed to me but oh dear the main character, Grace, is such a hopeless twit. There are no shocks, no suspense but plenty of frustration and boredom. I cannot recommend this book unless you like slow, frustrating stories. Millie was the only character I warmed to and to her I would say, "I don't like George Clooney either."

Pathetic and drawn out

The main character was portrayed as a pathetic, stupid woman. Even I, as a victim of domestic abuse, thought that it was pretty unbelievable and over dramatised, with her missing many opportunities to get help.

Behind Closed Doors

I felt the story was very drawn out
Taking to long to get to point of what was happening.
Narrator was excellent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this narrator!

The story was, on the whole, enjoyable. At times, a little too predictable, but luckily there were just enough plot twists to maintain interest. A different, less polished narrator may have led to bitter disappointment, but this girl was a joy to listen to!

10 out of 10

This is the best book I have read in the last couple of years. The way B A Paris balanced the tension was brilliant. Also, Georgia Maguire was fantastic narrating this book. I will be reading as many of B A Paris's books as I can.

Great story but..

I couldn’t stop listening. Wasn’t 100% sure the ending was feasible but still had me wondering until the end what would happen

Intrigue

Couldn’t put it down. Will follow this author. I don’t want to write 15 words. 8 should be enough.

Captivating! Narration perfection.

One of my absolute new favourites! what an engaging story, impossible to put down.
The narration performance was one of the best I have ever listened to! Can't recommend this book or narrator enough.
However, beware... once you start you won't be able to stop.
