It's bloody brilliant.' - Stephen King 'An eerie thriller.Pinborough keeps us guessing about just who's manipulating whom - until the ending reveals that we've been wholly complicit in this terrifying mind game.' - The New York Times Book Review Why is everyone talking about the ending of Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes ? Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. It does that as well as any novel I remember.THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'You should read Behind Her Eyes. Would that I could talk more openly about those, but to do so would deny you the undeniable delight of discovery, and that’s what Behind Her Eyes is about, at bottom: shocking your comfy cotton socks off. But they’re issues Pinborough saves face by putting in their place later, when the song and dance of the secrets at the dark heart of this narrative is done. Behind Her Eyes isn’t quite as clever as it thinks it is its central perspectives are initially rather rote its beginning is at bottom boring-and that’s quite the laundry list of issues. Something markedly more interesting than either the grip-lit of its underpinnings or the dark fantasies Pinborough has purveyed in the past. But rest assured that it turns this text into something else. there are two twists, in truth, and the first isn’t far off.

The first act, in fact, is all superficial setup. It’s a little slow for a rollercoaster, though. Like The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl before it, Behind Her Eyes is a book that you don’t so much read as ride. A work of fiction twined around a twist that is, shall we say, entangled with something supernatural, Behind Her Eyes is likely to elicit a few screams of 'Don’t cross the streams!' And understandably so, I suppose.
