B.A. Paris’ domestic suspense novels are like a comforting, familiar sweater you can reach for when craving an easy yet thrilling read. She weaves suspenseful stories that are effortless to delve into, providing entertainment without demanding too much from the reader. I prefer to listen to her books, finding that even when my mind wanders, I don’t miss much, making it easy to stay engaged with the story. It’s almost like having a suspenseful soundtrack accompanying my daily activities, ensuring I never miss a beat, even when my mind takes a detour.

The guest trope might have you thinking you’ve heard it all before, but Paris doesn’t stop there. She throws in unexpected twists adding a fresh spin to the trope. The pacing has some ups and downs, much like a witch’s broomstick ride with a few twists and turns, to make the ride thrilling. 

The characters may not be the most likable bunch and lack depth in their motivation and actions. However, their web of secrets and lies are engaging enough to draw me into the narrative.

That final twist is unexpected in so many ways and I don’t think anyone will see that coming. But to be honest I am not sure it was all that rewarding after all the suspense but I was entertained.
