Death is a topic Bradford Douglas is intimately familiar with. The young attorney is on a crusade against capital punishment. He’s saved a number of death row inmates, but none of his cases has been as tough as the one he now faces: Henry Combs, a vicious serial killer, has only hours to live when Douglas is summoned for a Hail Mary attempt to have the man’s sentence commuted to life imprisonment. As Douglas races to pursue whatever strategies he can think of, he finds his passion for justice giving way to something altogether different. An obsession.

The book seemed good at first and then.....WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I am rarely surprised. I cannot stop talking about the ending of this book. The feeling it left is still with me. No other book since Misery has evoked this type of emotion in me. I don't want to and won't spoil the experience for anyone else.

As a boy, Evan Smoak was pulled out of a foster home and trained in an off-the-books operation known as the Orphan Program. He was a government assassin, perhaps the best, known to a few insiders as Orphan X. He eventually broke with the Program and adopted a new name - The Nowhere Man - and a new mission, helping the most desperate in their times of trouble.

I must agree with other reviews. This was a story idea that the authors tried to fit into this series. It is a story in the past. We want to know what is currently happening with the characters. Truly disappointing! Story like was ok..

Joe Kenda investigated 387 murder cases during his 23 years with the Colorado Springs Police Department and solved almost all of them. And he is ready to detail the cases that are too gruesome to air on television, cases that still haunt him, and the few cases where the killer got away. These cases are horrifyingly real, and the detail is so mesmerizing you won't be able to turn it off.

This book was a snoozer. It had very little to do with crimes and more about his life. It was a biography and had it been listed as such I would never have gotten it. The narrator is monotone and flat which made this less than interesting book even more less interesting. I would give it one star but I like the genre but this should not have been included in that genre

I was extremely disappointed with this book. It was boring from the beginning. I did give it a fair chance and got all the way through. There were 2 stories that were mildly interesting. I am a super fan of Lee Child and the other superstars who helped put this together this book. Sorry it just fell flat and was painful to listen. The narrators were also sub-standard.

more morosely dark biographical than a thriller
Reviewed: 08-30-16
What would have made Behind Closed Doors better?
nothing as the subject matter was harsh. It was not a story but rather it seemed a real life (albeit very sad and disturbing) story
Has Behind Closed Doors turned you off from other books in this genre?
This book did not fit the mystery thriller genre
How could the performance have been better?
the narrator saved whatever could be done with this book
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
the last few lines
Any additional comments?
I know these things happen but it was no mystery/thriller. it was intensely biographical
