Behind Closed Doors
B.A. Paris, 2016
A marriage that looks immaculate from the pavement: a husband who opens doors, a wife who cannot leave. A thriller about what good manners can hide.

Feels like dread, power and unease.
Perfect manners can be the most frightening thing about a person.
We go downstairs and in the hall, he takes my coat from the cupboard and holds it open while I slip my arms into it. In the drive outside, he holds the car door for me and waits until I’m in. As he closes it behind me, I can’t help thinking it’s a shame he’s such a sadistic bastard, because he has wonderful manners. Books by B.A. Paris
