The Therapist

The Therapist by B.A. Paris

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve been B.A.Paris’ fan for many years and always looking forwards to her new novels. When I received an advanced copy of “The Therapist” – I read it right away. B.A.Paris always intrigues me with her unique twists, and this novel was not an exception.

“Do you know what Henry David Thoreau believed? Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.” said The Therapist. A famous quote to live by, and in the case of The Therapist – to lure new clients into their web.

The novel was nothing that I expected of it. The main character Alice who has struggled with her past and an obsession over the death of her family, and mostly her sister finds an interesting fact about the new house she and the boyfriend recently moved into. The obsession with the woman who lived and died in the house grew over Alice’s desire to make new friends from the gated neighborhood. It blinded her to the point when she overlooked a very important detail that almost cost her the relationship and most importantly – her own life.

The novel is full of million and one plot twists and secrets. I loved the story and mystery that surrounded the gated community. It was hard to put the book down. Thank you St. Martin’s Publishing Group for a free and advanced copy of this novel and B.A.Paris for yet another great novel.
