The Prisoner
by B.A. Paris
If you’re already a fan of B.A.Paris, then you’ll know her customary psychological novels are full of surprises and jaw dropping twist and turns, and her latest book “The Prisoner”is no exception. Author of the bestselling “Behind Closed Doors” and “The Breakdown”, both very popular and full of their own frequent changes in direction, B.A. Paris knows how to tease her readers, keep them turning the pages and be totally caught off guard when the denouement finally occurs.
“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 Jed 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…………?”
If you don’t mind stories where you need to suspend disbelief and lose yourself in an enjoyable plot that’s logistically near impossible, then “The Prisoner” is for you. Sometimes you need a bit of escapism, without the police procedural aspect and logical planning to just lose yourself in and enjoy without having to concentrate every step of the way. I thought Amelie played a brilliant part, kept her emotions in check when at her most vulnerable and portrayed a strong female role. The story was easy to read, easy to follow and easy to enjoy. Told in alternating chapters between the interesting past and intriguing present (until the past catches up), I really enjoyed being a ‘prisoner’ with Amelie and if this genre is your interest then you should thoroughly enjoy this book.
