It took a lot for Leo to convince his partner, Alice, to leave her little cottage and move with him to the newly renovated home in an exclusive gated community. But Alice agrees, and it is easy for her to fall in love with such a posh home in a neighborhood where the residents are close. But then Alice discovers Leo kept a very big secret from her about their new home. The previous lady of the house was murdered in that house and the husband committed suicide after being accused of her murder. The entire neighborhood was relieved knowing that they solved the murder, but when a private investigator shows up on Alice and Leo's doorstep, Alice believes they were all wrong and the murder is still out there. The more Alice digs, the more she realizes that their new community is full of secrets and some of them may even end up killing her.
I have come to expect big things from B.A. Paris. Her writing pushes boundaries and hooks a reader from the very first page. The Therapist did not leave me feeling hooked. I never got the vibe that Leo and Alice were made for each other. And while I understand Alice's outrage at Leo's secrecy, it also felt forced. Over the top. I wasn't all that surprised by the end. It wasn't what I had guessed, but it didn't really leave me "wowed." - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line - While The Therapist didn't really live up to my expectations, it was an enjoyable enough read for a summer afternoon.
