B.A. Paris does it again. Behind Closed Doors was one of those books that I could not wait to read and this book does not disappoint I loved it.The main character, Cass had been at a party with friends from work on a very rainy evening. It is the end of the school year and Cass has a few weeks of vacation to enjoy before the next teaching session resumes. As she is leaving her husband Matthew calls and tells her he has a migraine and is going to bed. He adamantly warns her not to take the shortcut through the woods home during the storm. He is worried for her safety and she promises to avoid the wooded secluded road. As the storm and traffic on the highway increases Cass impulsively take the shortcut home. It is getting dark, the rain is pounding and the rural road is deserted except for ...up ahead she sees a car pulled over to the side. The book unfolds as Cass obsessed with the murder her life completely falls apart. I could not put this down because I wanted to find out who killed the woman in the car and what is going on with Cass. Perfect book if you want lack of sleep.
