"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…

This was a lot of fun and managed to surprise me with a number of things. I enjoyed it.
However, though the narrator has a pleasant voice, absolutely no attempt was made to differentiate between characters, even in back-to-back dialogue between two people. So there were times where the listener literally didn’t know who was saying what. I can’t imagine the actor is incapable of slightly changing her voice when needed lol so was this a director issue? Was she told to do it all in her voice only? Not sure what happened here

Enjoyable but major narration/directing problem

I read a lot of other reviews that said the story was predictable, so maybe it’s me, but I did not see much of it coming. I enjoyed listening and thought the narrator had a great voice. I will agree with some other reviewers that there were a lot of characters and at times it was hard to keep track but don’t let that deter you from choosing this book. This wasn’t one of BA Paris’ top books but it was still really good.

Enjoyable!

I thought I knew what was going to happen and who the culprit was, but Paris did such a good job keeping the details and story moving.

Caught off guard!

lots of assumptions makes for many suspects so it's unclear until the end who's the killer.

great story line.

One of the best books I’ve come across in a long time. Excellent characters & unpredictable plot twists. Narrator did a great job. This was the first B.A Paris book for me & it certainly won’t be the last!

Highly recommend!

Cringey and unbearably painful and gullible are words I’d use to describe Alice! She was incredibly ditzy and made assumptions the entire book. She stressed me out! I like to find something likable about the main character but there was nothing about Alice I liked!

Come on Alice!!

I am always very cautious listening to B. A. Paris’s books because Behind Closed Doors, despite being very well written, really traumatized me, and it wasn’t until The Dilema, where I could enjoy her writing, without feeling sick.

The Therapist has many plot twists and is fast paced. The narrator(s) were great - Olivia Dowd narrated 98% of the book and was well suited to each character. I will be looking out for other books narrated by her.

I’m glad I listened to the book and I recommend it.

I think this is her best book yet!

I absolutely loved this book! It brilliantly had so many twists & turns to it that I never came close to guessing the ending until the last chapter of it. At times it had my mind trying to put theories together as the characters did.

This book was well written & I look forward to her next one I listen to!

Brilliant

I don't like hearing the narrators mouth noises it was really off-putting! I wouldn't listen to a story read by her again. I listen to a LOT of audio books and I've NEVER heard that from a narrator before. I almost had to stop listening on several occasions.

good story
