OMG! This is a great read! A page turner!
Even if like me you'd guessed it early on, this was still a thrilling read and I didn't want to put it down. Finished it in one day and loved the way the scare factor started out light and got more intense almost immediately..all the way to the end pages.
This truly was a book I couldn't put down.
B. A. Paris is a master of suspense! I couldn't put this book down!! The plot twists were so intriguing to me, especially the end, of course.
Cass is caught in a terrible rainstorm and decides to break her promise to her husband by driving home via a shortcut road that they both agree is too dangerous to drive during this downpour. When driving on the shortcut, Cass sees a car parked on side of road, with a woman sitting inside. It's raining too hard to get out of her car so Cass drives on, hoping the woman has already called for help. The next day, she finds out the woman in the car was killed, and it happens to be someone she knows!! Now she's wracked with guilt for not stopping, and for not telling her husband that she drove the shortcut home! With all of this guilt, she feels like she's losing her mind: forgetting small things like appointments, where she parked her car, even buying a baby pram when she's not expecting.
No spoiler alerts here. You'll have to read this gem to find out what happens!
I've since read Behind Closed Doors and will be looking for other books by this author!

I called who did it within the first chapter. I really hate giving low reviews as I know authors pour their heart and souls into their books and reviews mean a lot. This book just was not for ME. Please let me emphasize the ME. Others will probably love this. I just found the tells too easy right off the bat, but I've taken classes that have taught me those tells etc.
I think the one thing I can say about the writing was that I found the downward slide into the breakdown a little too rushed. It wasn't believable to me. Instead of her going why all the time, I would have been wondering how come, why so quickly? She didn't take it upon herself to go to her doctor by herself and ask more questions etc. That's the flaw I saw in the writing. She laid down and gave up to easily.

Once again, Paris has written a thriller that pulls us in from page one. I couldn't put it down! It is twisty and intense. I did have it figured out (mostly) but I loved the way it all played out! Fast becoming a favorite thriller author for me.
Heck of a page turner! I loved this one! A great thriller and I was not expecting that ending but it ended perfectly.
Keep your friends close, they say. Well they aren't kidding.
