Behind Her Eyes/ Sarah Pinborough/ 306 pgs

Unfortunately, this book languished on my wish list for quite a while. It has the most masterful ending I've read in quite some time. David and Adele are a married couple who've recently moved to a different London neighborhood. David is a psychiatrist; Adele stays at home. It's apparent from the beginning that their marriage is far from the usual. Louise is a single mom who works as an administrative assistant at David's new office. Before she knows it, Louise is having an affair with David while striking up a friendship with Adele. Things are awkward, to say the least. The chapters rotate between Louise, Adele, and Adele's past. It's clear that something dark is going on but it certainly wasn't what this reader expected at all! While this is a psychological suspense, there is a supernatural element that enters the story and as I said, the ending definitely surprised me.
