Publisher's Summary

Soon to be a Netflix Original series!

The instant New York Times and number-one international best seller 

“You should read Behind Her Eyes.... It’s bloody brilliant.” (Stephen King) 

"An eerie thriller...Pinborough keeps us guessing about just who’s manipulating whom - until the ending reveals that we’ve been wholly complicit in this terrifying mind game.” (The New York Times Book Review

Why is everyone talking about the ending of Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes

Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. On a rare night out, she meets a man in a bar, and sparks fly. Though he leaves after they kiss, she's thrilled she finally connected with someone. 

When Louise arrives at work on Monday, she meets her new boss, David. The man from the bar. The very married man from the bar...who says the kiss was a terrible mistake but who still can't keep his eyes off Louise. 

And then Louise bumps into Adele, who's new to town and in need of a friend. But she also just happens to be married to David. And if you think you know where this story is going, think again, because Behind Her Eyes is like no other book you've heard before. 

David and Adele look like the picture-perfect husband and wife. But then why is David so controlling? And why is Adele so scared of him? 

As Louise is drawn into David and Adele's orbit, she uncovers more puzzling questions than answers. The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong. But Louise can't guess how wrong - and how far a person might go to protect their marriage's secrets. 

Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes takes the modern-day love triangle and not only turns it on its head but completely reinvents it in a way that will leave listeners reeling.

What the critics say

"All four narrators smoothly transition between the complex characters and the dark side of this contemporary love triangle. As Louise's sense of disorientation and dread build, listeners will be hooked on both plot and performance." (AudioFile)

brlliant!

I listened to this book, watched the movie on netflix and then listened once once more. I couldn't put it down the second time once more even though I already new what was going to happen. It was more interesting the second time around. That's how good this book was. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Keeps you guessing

Wow this story!

This one keeps you guessing and takes you on a crazy journey all the way through.

Get ready to lose yourself in the twists and turns and even the simplicity at some points.

What a wild ride.
You’ll never guess the ending!

Original and engaging

The story is quite original, it keeps you captivated and you want to know how it will all end. A bit monotonous though. Overall ok.

Disappointed

The plot had me intrigued. I could not work out the villain of the story. I presume the author could not find the way forward either and came up with a ridiculous paranormal answer. I would never have used a credit on this crappy premise of a psychological thriller..... totally disappointing and a ridiculous ending.

Stupid ending

Book was fine until the end. Became about taking over another’s body. Unbelievable. Horrible.
It was like the end was Bigfoot did it .... don’t waste time.

very suspenseful and great build up. ending sucked

everything was 5 out of 5 until we really find out what happened and the motives behind all the secrets. I thought it was a bit amateur how the story came to an end.

behind her eyes

The book was good - I enjoyed all the characters in the story. The story line was a little weird which I liked- little too weird towards the ending???? But a very good book and I like Sarah books.
