The Therapist by B.A. Paris

" I recently read The Therapist by B.A. Paris. Alice and Leo find a house in an exclusive, gated neighborhood. The house is a bargain, something they couldn't usually afford. They jump at the chance to live in The Circle, the snazzy community their new house is in. But as Alice gets to know the neighbors she discovers some are nicer than others and when she tries to ask simple questions she finds herself quickly shut down. Something is going on, and it most definitely concerns her new home. Then as Leo starts traveling for business, it feels like someone is in the house. Maybe it is her imagination, then again, maybe not. When Alice finds out that something bad happened to Nina, the previous resident and therapist, she becomes obsessed with discovering what The Circle seems to be hiding. This is a classic psychological thriller. The tense story leaves the reader wondering who the evil person is and how many people know exactly what is going on. The book is not too long, just over three hundred pages and uses it's space efficiently, no meandering off the plot. This shoots straight through so quickly you'll wonder where your day went and how you've flipped so many pages. This suspenseful read will have you confident you know the ending only to surprise the most seasoned reader. Fun the whole way......."
