Behind Her Eyes is told from the perspective of two different women in alternating chapters; Louise, a divorced mom, who works as a receptionist for a Psychiatric Medical office and Adele, the wife of one of the psychiatrists. Louise is having an affair with Adele’s husband, while developing a friendship with Adele. Ah…but Louise is not really the villain in the story. She is being played and played masterfully. I think what made this story a little difficult for me was the sheer evilness of one of the characters.
The author, Sarah Pinborough, did a good job in developing the story, with enough curve balls in the plot development to keep me involved.
Read the book, preferably not just before bed. This one made me uncomfortable enough to keep me up a bit.
