Story
Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside - the woman who was killed. She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped.

Story
The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

Publisher's Summary
"...you’ll find yourself listening to the suspenseful reading by Olivia Dowd and Thomas Judd way past your bedtime." (NJ.com)
The multimillion-copy New York Times best-selling 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 neighbours, 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....

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.

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.

Disappointing
I loved the book Behind Closed Doors. It was so clever, and I was super excited for this one. However unfortunately this story was quite predictable and the narration was
not well done at all. It was very difficult to tell the diff in voices and who was talking which took you out of the story.

Good if you need some background noise while mowing the lawn. The story is very amateurish and lame, and the narration can be too obnoxious. Her voice suddenly and inexplicably becomes too nasal and shrill.

Disappointed
I pre-ordered this book after I read all of B.A. Paris's other books within only a week or two. I was very disappointed with the plot, the distinction between the characters, the overall narration, the build up, and especially the ending. I was really hoping to love the ending so that the hours I spent listening would've been worth it. Maybe next time B.A. Paris..

This was a horrible plot. The main character is a dim witted selfish stupid girl. The plot is horrible. I only finished because I’d paid for it. The narrator had no inflection, did not make the story any better. Save your money.
