Description

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

The instant New York Times and #1 international bestseller. “You should read Behind Her Eyes…It’s bloody brilliant.” Stephen King

"An eerie thriller…Pinborough keeps us guessing about just who’s manipulating whom – until the ending reveals that we’ve been wholly complicit in this terrifying mind game.” —The New York Times Book Review

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 read 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 readers reeling.

    Somewhere between a 3 and 3.5 stars. Truthfully I am a little torn on the rating. This novel felt like such a waiting game. I felt like I was waiting, waiting, waiting… and waiting for the other shoe to finally drop. And it does, my god does it, but really nothing exciting happens until the last 20% of the book. Nonetheless I am looking forward to watching this on screen as I think this story had a lot of potential.

    Don't want to give anything away, but this is more of a supernatural thriller. Just go in to it knowing that so you're not surprised at the things that could never happen in real life. Other than that, you'll think you know where it's going but the ending twist is totally unpredictable.

    This story was unbelievable (in a good way!). All I can say is the ending is a mind blower (not the word I immediately thought of). Now I’m all prepped to watch the Netflix Movie! The Author is unbelievably talented and the pace of the story is just right. Super excited to read more by her.
