Publisher's Summary

"You’ll find yourself listening to the suspenseful reading by Olivia Dowd and Thomas Judd way past your bedtime."—Jersey's Best

The multimillion-copy New York Times bestselling author B.A. Paris returns to her heartland of gripping psychological suspense in The Therapist—a powerful tale of a house that holds a shocking secret.

When Alice and Leo move into a newly renovated house in The Circle, a gated community of exclusive houses, it is everything they’ve dreamed of. But appearances can be deceptive…

As Alice is getting to know her neighbors, she discovers a devastating secret about her new home, and begins to feel a strong connection with Nina, the therapist who lived there before.

Alice becomes obsessed with trying to piece together what happened two years before. But no one wants to talk about it. Her neighbors are keeping secrets and things are not as perfect as they seem…

Don't trust "anyone"!

I can't believe she got me again! I was so smug, thinking I knew the killer the whole time. I did not! Don't trust "anyone"!

So disappointing.....

Have really enjoyed her other books but very disappointed by this one. The narrators were very good but were likely as bored by the story as I was. It was like listening to paint dry. Pace of the story was so slow with lots of filler and very little happening until the very end.

Not Horrible

It was relatively entertaining. There were way too many red herrings. I figured it out quite early on, but, then more red herrings! It wasn’t badly written, just not overly clever. Meh…

Love a good mystery...

This was a great mystery that kept me guessing until the end. The performance was delightful. However, the story did remind me of a tv series where each new part repeats some of the last part so no one missies anything, in that sense I found it a bit repetitious at times.

As always thrilling and brilliant!

Every single book by B.A. Paris I devour in one sit. The narration by Olivia Dowd makes it all the better, I can’t put the phone down until I’ve finished the book.

Absolutely brilliant!

Bland and boring

What ever happened to the good thriller? I usually enjoy the author and was so excited to buy this new release. It read like that new generation of what I call harlequin thrillers. Those quick fluffy reads that are so generic only the names are changed. The phrasing was so repetitive. The characters were not fleshed out at all and the protagonist was unlikable and uninteresting.

I am wholly disappointed and almost asked for a refund but didn't because my last purchase also was a bust and I did get refunded for that.

Not Remotely Compelling

A good mystery should hook you with well developed characters, an evocative setting and a compelling story. This book has none of these elements.

Most of the female characters are uninspired and juvenile, more like a nasty posse at a boarding school than a group of working mothers. (But then no one seems to work in this neighborhood.) The female lead is conveniently portrayed as dim-witted even though she’s supposed to be a translator of books - all to serve a weak and implausible plot that is so silly, it’s almost an insult to the reader.

I was really disappointed. The Therapist reads more like a tedious domestic drama than intelligent mystery.
