"Behind Closed Doors" by B.A. Paris is a gripping and fast-paced psychological thriller that delves into the seemingly perfect marriage of Jack and Grace. The book is well-crafted, with a strong buildup of tension that keeps readers on edge.

However, the plot's predictability and the lack of depth in character development can be disappointing. The story's villain feels one-dimensional, and some plot twists are not as surprising as expected.

While it succeeds in delivering a chilling narrative, the lack of complexity might leave some readers wanting more. It's a decent thriller, but not without its flaws. 3 stars.

"The Family Upstairs" by Lisa Jewell is an intriguing psychological thriller that keeps you guessing. The book is well-written and filled with suspense, with multiple narrators providing different perspectives that gradually piece together the dark and twisted family secrets.

While the plot is engaging and the characters are well-developed, it can sometimes be challenging to keep track of the various timelines and narrators. The pacing also feels uneven at times, with certain parts dragging on while others feel rushed.

Overall, it's a good read for fans of the genre, but it may not fully satisfy those looking for a perfectly executed thriller. 3 stars.
