It soon becomes very apparent that the relationship between Jack and Grace is very different to the one they would have people believe. From the opening chapter where Jack and Grace host a dinner party for friends, it soon becomes clear that something is not quite right about their relationship, everything about them is just too good to be true. Jack and Grace appear to be the “perfect” couple, but appearances can be deceptive. It is one of the most uncomfortable psychological thrillers that I have read in a long while. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows.Įvery now and then I pick up a book that blows me away when I’m least expecting it, and my god Behind Closed Doors certainly did just that. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim.

Or how she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. Others might ask why Grace never answers the phone. You might not want to like them, but you do.īut it’s difficult, because you realise Jack and Grace are never apart. He has looks and wealth, she has charm and elegance. Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace.
