Behind Closed Doors

I was excited by the description given of this book pre-release and when it arrived on my Kindle on release say I delved in pretty quickly and somehow in under 24 hours I'd completely devoured this book.

It is a book that starts out innocently, a tale of affluent and seemingly perfect couple Jack and Grace, they host perfect dinner parties for friends, take fabulous holidays abroad and are soon to take over care of Grace's sister who although suffering from Down Syndrome is a huge part of their world.

Their new neighbour senses something is off, the broken lunch dates Grace doesn't attend, her absence of mobile phone or email, the way she seems to have no negative comments about her husband. Even when she calls to drop off a book during the day she finds bars on the Windows and nobody home.

This book was fascinating, it was dark and tense and had a great story. It didn't feel revolutionary or ground breaking but it was gripping and just kept you turning the pages to see how on earth this story would end.

The sheer planning that Jack must have had to undertake to even begin to put together his life is mind boggling. A nastier or more devious character I've had more distaste for I can't think.

I'd recommend this book, it despite it's story contained a lot of touching moments, especially those between Grace and her disabled but hugely endearing sister. It was a light and engaging ready.
