Guessing until near the end！Definitely kept me guessing until near to the end。 Could not put this one down at times。 Good read！ Good development of character lines。 Despite multiple character not difficult to keep their identity and roles clear as you read along。

3。5 stars Super quick read however some parts felt a little drawn out and others （the ending） felt rushed。

I like B。 A。 Paris' books because they are well told -- I especially like to listen to them。 Also， they often end with a twist， and this one， her newest， throws are really twist in the last few moments。 An entertaining story， set in London， you think you have it figured out， and then you do。。。。but you don't。 I like B。 A。 Paris' books because they are well told -- I especially like to listen to them。 Also， they often end with a twist， and this one， her newest， throws are really twist in the last few moments。 An entertaining story， set in London， you think you have it figured out， and then you do。。。。but you don't。 。。。more

Too slow。 The story didn't pick up until the final forty or so pages but at that time， I was over it。 I was a huge fan of her first book， Behind Closed Doors， so I've been disappointed that none of her work since has been worth reading。 Too slow。 The story didn't pick up until the final forty or so pages but at that time， I was over it。 I was a huge fan of her first book， Behind Closed Doors， so I've been disappointed that none of her work since has been worth reading。 。。。more

The plot revolves around Alice who has recently moved in to a gated community known as The Circle， with her partner Leo。 Tired of their ldr and wanting to spend some time together， they think this is a good move for their relationship。I found the mc problematic from the start。 Even though she says she’s just investigating stuff， she crosses boundaries multiple times， she willingly puts herself into danger， she suspects EACH & EVERYONE around her， it was annoying after a certain point。The writing The plot revolves around Alice who has recently moved in to a gated community known as The Circle， with her partner Leo。 Tired of their ldr and wanting to spend some time together， they think this is a good move for their relationship。I found the mc problematic from the start。 Even though she says she’s just investigating stuff， she crosses boundaries multiple times， she willingly puts herself into danger， she suspects EACH & EVERYONE around her， it was annoying after a certain point。The writing could have been better， as I did not feel much connect between two events。 It felt like Alice did lots of chatting with her neighbours， repetitively， about the same topic again and again。 I still enjoyed this book though。 I could not guess the end， but I guessed all the twists that were thrown， way beforehand。There are two types of thrillers， one that bowls you over with something you had never seen coming， and the other wherein there comes such a point that the story is written in such a way， that it’s impossible to guess the culprit。 There are two paths the story can go， and either way works fine coz of the structure of the plot。 It pretty much depends on the author what path they choose and how they explain their choice。 I enjoy the former ones more。 This book， is the latter one。The tension was quite high in this one during the end， and I liked it。 I am still not sure about the possibility of THAT （end） happening， but 🤷🏻♀️I would still recommend it though， as it’s a perfect quick read if you’re looking for something entertaining！Domestic thriller + Slow burn。 。。。more

Wish I could give more than 5 stars。 I absolutely LOVED this book。 The storyline， characters， theme everything just kept going until the very end。 Lately I've been reading a lot of books along this genre and usually figure it out about halfway through but this one was tough。 The fact that everyone had their own reasons for being suspects just made the ending even more shocking。 The main character grew kind of annoying but it played well with the psychological theme of the book。 This is my first Wish I could give more than 5 stars。 I absolutely LOVED this book。 The storyline， characters， theme everything just kept going until the very end。 Lately I've been reading a lot of books along this genre and usually figure it out about halfway through but this one was tough。 The fact that everyone had their own reasons for being suspects just made the ending even more shocking。 The main character grew kind of annoying but it played well with the psychological theme of the book。 This is my first B。A Paris novel and I can't wait to dive into more。 。。。more

Overall this was a good thriller。 Nothing to go ga ga over。 Held my interest and kept me guessing。I felt it dragged on a bit。 Felt a little blah in places。 Other than that I think it would make for a great beach read。 Defiantly a book you can plow through in one day。

#thetherapist by @baparisauthor was a fun easy summer thriller！ We really enjoyed the author’s debut novel #behindcloseddoors and this one had a similar vibe。 Alice moves into a posh gated community and begins to discover secrets about her home and neighbours。 This was a quick read， and we were eager to find out the truth with Alice。 Pure escapism！ This is a good thriller to pick up if you are looking for a twisty read。

This was an interesting book。 It was different style of storyline for me。 I like fast moving mysteries this was a more laid back。 It didn't have the thrill I was expecting。 This was an interesting book。 It was different style of storyline for me。 I like fast moving mysteries this was a more laid back。 It didn't have the thrill I was expecting。 。。。more

She knocked it out of the park with this one。 It's a fast read coming in around 296 pgs。 The suspicion is thrown on so many characters that it is hard to pinpoint who is up to what。 highly recommend this one。 She knocked it out of the park with this one。 It's a fast read coming in around 296 pgs。 The suspicion is thrown on so many characters that it is hard to pinpoint who is up to what。 highly recommend this one。 。。。more

This is my fourth try with this author and that is at least two too many。 We are definitely not compatible。 Some people think of the books as psychological suspense。 I think of them as stupid women running around in circles。 After reading about a third of the book I skimmed to the end and suspicions about this book were confirmed。 I will not be lured in by any more blurbs of this author’s books。 I received a free copy of this book from the publisher。

This was a 3 star read for me。 I liked a lot of the book。 It had a little creep factor and mystery to it。 But I felt it had a lot of unnecessary， repetitive dialogue。 There were also a lot of characters to keep straight， it got a little confusing。 There was a twist at the end， but it didn't knock my socks off and I felt a little disappointed after investing so much time。 Overall， it was a quick and easy read， just not sure if I would recommend it。 This was a 3 star read for me。 I liked a lot of the book。 It had a little creep factor and mystery to it。 But I felt it had a lot of unnecessary， repetitive dialogue。 There were also a lot of characters to keep straight， it got a little confusing。 There was a twist at the end， but it didn't knock my socks off and I felt a little disappointed after investing so much time。 Overall， it was a quick and easy read， just not sure if I would recommend it。 。。。more

Good beach read I would call this book a good beach read - or a great daytime read - because some parts scared the crap out of me！！！ Haha！ Seriously， the author does a great job conveying the creepiness and the paranoia of the protagonist。 The one major thing I didn’t love about the book was the part that dealt with Alice’s obsession with people who shared the same name as her sister。 I thought that was unrealistic and silly。 But overall， I really liked trying to figure out the mystery along wit Good beach read I would call this book a good beach read - or a great daytime read - because some parts scared the crap out of me！！！ Haha！ Seriously， the author does a great job conveying the creepiness and the paranoia of the protagonist。 The one major thing I didn’t love about the book was the part that dealt with Alice’s obsession with people who shared the same name as her sister。 I thought that was unrealistic and silly。 But overall， I really liked trying to figure out the mystery along with Alice。 I noted one or two errors missed by the proofreaders （One being the line: Thanks to Lorna， nobody will never know。）。 But otherwise， interesting story told well。 。。。more

I read this book in two sittings。 It was very readable and kept me guessing but left me kind of meh。 Not sure why。

So much of this book did not ring true to me。 Reactions， thinking， conversations and conclusions of characters seemed off。 Maybe the author spread through the writing too quick？

Usual good thriller by this author。 I was initially disappointed that there weren’t more of Nina’s flashback chapters as I was curious about her， but I understood why they were sparse by the end。 I didn’t guess what was going on。 End twist was unexpected。
