Ba Paris? That's gotta be 'B.A. Paris', right? The 'Behind Her Eyes' author? I think the auto-correct got you. For psychological thriller fans, she's solid, but honestly, I find her work a bit of a mixed bag. 'Behind Her Eyes' was the big one, with that twist people either loved or felt was completely out of left field. I was in the latter camp; it felt gimmicky to me, like a punchline more than a payoff.
Her earlier stuff like 'The Breakdown' is more my speed. That one nails the slow-burn anxiety of a woman who thinks she's witnessing a crime and then starts forgetting everything. It's less about a huge, shocking twist and more about the creeping dread of your own mind betraying you. 'The Dilemma' veers more toward domestic drama, so maybe skip that if you want pure, relentless tension.
Overall, she's reliable for a quick, page-turning read with an unreliable narrator, but don't go in expecting the depth of Gillian Flynn or the intricate plotting of Ruth Ware. Her prose is straightforward and propulsive, which has its own appeal on a lazy weekend.
She lands somewhere between airport thriller and legit psychological suspense. Start with 'The Breakdown' if you want paranoia, or 'Behind Her Eyes' if you're in it purely for the wild ride and don't mind a controversial ending.
