The Prisoner

A Novel

De: B.A. Paris

Narrado por: Georgia Maguire

With Behind Closed Doors, New York Times bestselling author B. A. Paris took the psychological thriller to shocking new heights. Now she’ll hold you captive with THE PRISONER—a stunning new thriller about one woman wed into a family with deadly intentions.

Amelie has always been a survivor, from losing her parents as a child in Paris to making it on her own in London. As she builds a life for herself, she is swept up into a glamorous lifestyle where she married the handsome billionaire Ned Hawthorne.

But then, Amelie wakes up in a pitch-black room, not knowing where she is. Why has she been taken? Who are her mysterious captors? And why does she soon feel safer here, imprisoned, than she had begun to feel with her husband Ned?

In the vein of Behind Closed Doors and The Therapist, multimillion-copy bestseller B. A. Paris is back with a gripping new suspense novel.

BA Paris

You have now become my favorite author. I have listened to five of your books having to use my credits in audible but every single one of them has been worth it. Thank you. This story here has me mesmerized.

Better reads out there

The storyline was underwhelming. I was waiting for a big plot twist at the end but was left asking myself, "that's it?". Poorly wrapped together.

Tethered Along

Three straight days of unrelenting listening to find out what would happen. The suspense of the this story is good. The narrator has a pleasant voice enhancing my listening experience. She had good pitch and flow for all the characters. The story is told two parts-the before and after her marriage/kidnapping. I won’t give any spoilers in this review. Only that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I did have to stop myself from comparing The Prisoner to Behind Closed Doors at certain times or comparing Amelie to Closed’s heroine. It would have been nice if there was more certainty between the two characters at the end than a possible maybe. Or perhaps B.A. Paris wants us readers to choose for own liking. Not disappointed here, far from it.

Skip this book

Unfortunately this book was a let down. I suggest you skip this one and read The Therapist or Behind Closed Doors.

Fantastic!

Chose this book because I usually enjoy books by BA Paris. Wasn’t so sure I wanted to read about a woman imprisoned in a dark room. Sounded so gloomy! This book turned out to be so much more and I didn’t want to put it down. Highly recommend!
