Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better.

But it’s difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable.

Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows.

Some might wonder what’s really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.

From bestselling author B.A. Paris comes the gripping thriller and international phenomenon Behind Closed Doors.

I already knew what it was and how it would end before I read it..dont get the drool from all the bum kissin reviewers..nothin mind blowin just avg.And it drags on and on blah blah the first 6 chapters ..half of that info is useless. If a book docent hold my attention by chapter 3 I toss it aside..and this one lost me by chapter 2 though I valiantly read till 6 then went into a coma... nothing new about a controlling man and stupid women who allowed him to put her there. AS a female I'm so tried of this

The problem with this book is that it's not 21 century acceptable, in a lot of situation that she faced,she could have responded differently. It's just sounds stupid, cringy, and retarded. I mean if a guy told me to choose between going on the airport with him now even though our plain doesn't leave until 3 and visiting my sick sis, I would say f u I am going to my sister.I don't know if the whole point was to make her appear weak or is just a mistake, it is still a waste of a 10 dollars
