Your book was incredibly hard to put down, and I cried with Grace, raged with Grace, and felt so helpless with Grace. You are an incredible writer. I could not figure out how Esther, who barely knows Grace, came to the conclusions she did at the end of the story. You showed Esther seeming to doubt things Grace said, but it would have been difficult to come to the correct conclusions. So how'd she do this?
B.A. Paris
Thank you so much! Esther is one of those intuitive people who just seem to know when something isn't quite right. But it is really at Millie's birthday party, when she says her favourite colour is yellow, that Esther realises something very wrong. She asks Jack why he has always maintained that Millie's favourite colour is red and she isn't convinced when he says he must have made a mistake. Also for the first time, Grace can't hide how upset she is and Esther sees this. She thinks back to all the other little things and adds them all together.

Just wanted to say that I really truly enjoyed your book "Behind Closed Doors". Would share the inspiration for your character, Millie? I absolutely loved her. She was like a little ray of sunshine in this dark novel. I am glad that you gave Millie such a strong voice.

I listened to Behind Closed Doors and The Breakdown in rapid succession. They were both so good and had me drawn in from the very first chapter. I am looking forward to your next book coming out. I hope you don't intend on stopping anytime soon because you have quickly become one of my favorite authors!! When you are writing, do you have a target audience in mind?
