THE NEWEST PROPULSIVE AUDIOBOOK FROM THE AUTHOR OF NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY INSTANT BESTSELLER, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

If you can’t trust yourself, who can you trust?

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside—the woman who was killed. She’s been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It’s a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she’d broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she’d stopped.

But since then, she’s been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn’t have a baby.

The only thing she can’t forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.

Or the silent calls she’s receiving, or the feeling that someone’s watching her…


You won't be able to hit pause on B. A. Paris's The Breakdown, the next chilling audiobook from the bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"We loved what narrator Georgia Maguire did with Paris's Behind Closed Doors." AudioFile, Editors' Pick

"Narrator Georgia Maguire's soft British accent is an absolute listening pleasure. ...Questions are eventually answered, and the mystery resolved, but it is the texture and tension provided by Maguire's skillful delivery and beguiling voice that make this a successful audio offering." - AudioFile

Lived It!

If you liked Girl On A Train, you are going to love this story. The narrator was spot on!

Solid Thriller- But Something Is Missing

The Break Down is a well written story with a well thought-out plot. It held my attention and kept me asking 'What will happen next?' I thought the story came together quite well- and all of it made sense. It was a bit too neat for a psychological thriller and no ends were left untied.

What's missing is general character development. The story could have been more engrossing if I cared more for the main characters.

It's a good story, and very much worth the read. It's narrated perfectly. There is just something missing here and I can't quite pin point it. Paris leaves me less than satiated when it comes to her novels and I wish she'd put a little more effort into personifying her characters- but there is no doubt she tells a very good story with plenty of twists and turns.

Excellent

This book starts off a bit slow, but really picks up. I finished it in two days! I could not stop listening. Excellent twists.

SIMPLY A BAD RETELLING OF THE SAME OLE STORY

This story is neither original nor a mystery or suspense novel. The subject matter has been written about so often for so many years by so many authors that I was stunned to see the praises for the book, which are extremely misleading. However, the narrator did a credible job.

Showed promised at the start, but then...

**SPOILER ALERT**
I enjoyed the narration and the book started off well showing lots of promise. The last three hours of the book included text messages between characters, including each date and time of each text which was a basic retelling of the story and completely unnecessary. Two or three of these texts could have been used to convey the same idea, shaving about two hours off this book! It was almost as though the author was being paid by the word! Also, the story was pretty easy to figure out early on. The protagonist was unbelievable in how long it took her. It held my attention, but the ending was kind of meh...
