Behind Her Eyes
by Sarah Pinborough is a mystery psychological thriller that will keep making you question what is going on with this bizarre love triangle.
It’s a little dark, with secrets that are revealed up until the very end.
Secrets are kept between Louise, a divorced single mom who is in a life/dating rut and lonely until she meets David, a handsome Dr. one night in a bar. He was obviously interested but left abruptly and she suspected he was married and felt guilty. She is surprised to find out that David is the newest Dr. at the practice that she works for as office staff and it makes things a bit awkward. On top of that uncomfortable situation, David is indeed married to Adele who accidentally ran into her walking near the clinic and Adele offered to buy her a coffee and initiates a friendship with Louise as she is new to the area and doesn’t have any local friends.
David also gives into his temptation and pursues Louise because he is unhappy with Adele and can no longer deal with her mental health outbursts.
I couldn’t put down this suspenseful story of love, secrets, and the blurred lines between reality and obsession. The ending was unexpected and for those who like a strange plot twist, this should be up your alley.
