About this audiobook

SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

The instant New York Times and #1 international bestseller. “You should read Behind Her Eyes...It’s bloody brilliant.” —Stephen King

Why is everyone talking about the ending of Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes?

Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. On a rare night out, she meets a man in a bar and sparks fly. Though he leaves after they kiss, she’s thrilled she finally connected with someone.

When Louise arrives at work on Monday, she meets her new boss, David. The man from the bar. The very married man from the bar...who says the kiss was a terrible mistake, but who still can’t keep his eyes off Louise.

And then Louise bumps into Adele, who’s new to town and in need of a friend. But she also just happens to be married to David. And if you think you know where this story is going, think again, because Behind Her Eyes is like no other book you’ve read before.

David and Adele look like the picture-perfect husband and wife. But then why is David so controlling? And why is Adele so scared of him?

As Louise is drawn into David and Adele’s orbit, she uncovers more puzzling questions than answers. The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong. But Louise can’t guess how wrong—and how far a person might go to protect their marriage’s secrets.

In Behind Her Eyes, Sarah Pinborough has written a novel that takes the modern day love triangle and not only turns it on its head, but completely reinvents it in a way that will leave readers reeling.

Ratings and reviews

The very ending about Rob could've been left out but I guess for the author made more of a twist to the story line. I was satisfied with what happen with Adele and Louise alone... through out the story however Louise was annoying getting in between other people's affairs but I guess everything played out. I wished the book could've been more realistic but I guess the second door stuff wasn't so bad. 3/5 stars for me.

😱 The ending is a lot to absorb! There were a couple of slow parts where I found my thoughts drifting away from the book. Overall though, I really did enjoy it. Just when you think you know what's going on, you are thrown another twist. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys suspense and drama!

The end is an absolute mind phuck! As a new parent I am ABSOLUTELY gut wrenched by the outcome. You honestly never see it coming and I hate the ending for upsetting me so much but it is a truly different approach from all the thriller mystery books I read and have read.
