About this listen

‘Tense and compulsive’ Louise Candlish

‘Suspicion, betrayal and dark secrets abound’ T. M. Logan

TELL ME YOUR SECRETS…

When Alice and Leo move into a newly renovated house in The Circle, an exclusive gated community, 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 the therapist who lived there before.

Alice becomes obsessed with trying to piece together what happened. But no one wants to talk about it. And her neighbours are hiding something…

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.

I downloaded this book without even reading what it was about. From first listening the wonderful narration had me hooked.

Then as we went through it had me doubting everything. Thoroughly captivated, I felt like I knew everyone involved.

The twists and red herrings are so well written with every detail thought through.

Would totally recommend this book.

It had my theories jumping all over the place!

I love a thriller to drop little hints to help me try to figure out "whodunit" but for me this one dropped too many! There were so many characters, hints, red herrings and (contrived) motives that the reveal of anyone as the culprit wouldn't have been a surprise.

Too much going on for me

Loved Behind Closed Doors and The Dilemma so when I wanted a thriller I went straight to Paris. Shes an excellent writer who captures this over thinkers mind with all the possibilities in the 'who dunnit' genre. I didn't get bored, however, I found the supporting characters and setting a bit unbelievable and the storyline a little predictable.
The narrator captured the protagonist well however the West country accent of a couple of characters was a bit off putting.

Classic Paris but not her best story.
