TELL ME YOUR SECRETS…

The Therapist by B A Paris captivates with its tense and compulsive storytelling. Praised by bestselling authors, Louise Candlish describes it as 'tense and compulsive', while TM Logan calls it full of 'suspicion, betrayal and dark secrets'. Jane Corry highlights it as 'a delicious web of lies'.

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 gets to know her neighbours, she discovers a devastating, grisly 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 neighbours are keeping secrets, and things are not as perfect as they seem…

The million-copy Sunday Times bestselling author B A Paris returns to her heartland of gripping psychological suspense in this powerful tale of a house that holds a shocking secret.
