Why is everyone talking about the ending of Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes?

Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. On a rare night out, she meets a man in a bar and sparks fly. Though he leaves after they kiss, she’s thrilled she finally connected with someone.

When Louise arrives at work on Monday, she meets her new boss, David. The man from the bar. The very married man from the bar…who says the kiss was a terrible mistake, but who still can’t keep his eyes off Louise.

And then Louise bumps into Adele, who’s new to town and in need of a friend. But she also just happens to be married to David. And if you think you know where this story is going, think again, because Behind Her Eyes is like no other book you’ve heard before.

David and Adele look like the picture-perfect husband and wife. But then why is David so controlling? And why is Adele so scared of him?

As Louise is drawn into David and Adele’s orbit, she uncovers more puzzling questions than answers. The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong. But Louise can’t guess how wrong—and how far a person might go to protect their marriage’s secrets.

In Behind Her Eyes, Sarah Pinborough has written a novel that takes the modern day love triangle and not only turns it on its head, but completely reinvents it in a way that will leave listeners reeling.

"All four narrators smoothly transition between the complex characters and the dark side of this contemporary love triangle. As Louise's sense of disorientation and dread build, listeners will be hooked on both plot and performance." (AudioFile)

HATED the ending

I don't want to ruin this book for anyone, but I found the ending to be truly awful. This book was incredibly suspenseful and original in its story line, but I hated they way I felt when it was over. I'm unsettled and not in a good way. I didn't find the end to be clever, but written specifically for shock value. I hated it. I wish I had never spent my time listening to this book. I'm saddened by it.

A top 2 all-time fav psychological thriller!

I go through at least 1 psychological/crime thriller every week, and this makes top 2. Definitely not for anyone who has a problem with suspension of disbelief, but if you're looking for twists and turns that are completely unpredictable and goosebump-inducing, this is it!

WOW

The ending to this book just totally blew me away! Story is great & easy to follow

Best ending, ever!

Simply the best psychological thriller I've ever read. The ending was the slap in the face most stories lack.

Annoyed by end of book--

Would you try another book from Sarah Pinborough and/or the narrators?

yes

Would you recommend Behind Her Eyes to your friends? Why or why not?

The twists and turns got too ridiculous. It's like the author couldn't figure out how to end it so picked the most far fetched ending.

what a great read!

OMG...such a good read and the ending will surprise you. give it a try You won't be disappointed.

Holy Batman plot twist!

This was different, interesting and seriously kept u guessing. I would’ve never seen the ending coming in a million years. LOVED it.

gripping, full of twists but a disconnected ending

This was a great thriller in terms of pacing, mystery, suspense and curiosity. However, there were significant chunks of story in which I felt very out of the loop-- essentially, there was "too much suspense". In turn, I thought the reader needed some clues as to what was going on -- even a little bit, to make sense of everything. This disconnection made the ending feel rushed and extremely weird (like other reviewers noted) the theme of the ending was not even in the same genere as the book as a whole. If it was more clear from the start what themes may occur, it would've helped the cohesiveness of the conclusion. It was not a "bad" or "disappointing" ending, it was just odd and removed from the overall story. But the overall writing and character development was solid enough to make it a decent book. There were points where I got confused of who was narrating and had to re-listen many times.

Suspenseful!

will keep you listening to find out what is truly going on!!

Gripping
