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.

I'm reading "Behind closed doors" right now at Dublin. I was looking for something to read and I borrowed this book from an acquaintance. I have to finish it yet, but I'm almost done. To quote the Nostalgia Critic, I consider your novel "hauntingly haunting", but also addictive. It's a very detailed story, but it's never said too much. What else can I add? Thank you so much.

My thoughts lingered in the paintings. It was her choice to paint and someone traumatized by the psychological and physical terror she was inflicted, I doubt anyone would have the strength to paint that kind of horror. Was it something you searched with psychiatrists and found out it was really possible or it was something completely fictional? Thank you for the intriguing and unputdownable book!
