Behind Her Eyes: A Suspenseful Psychological Thriller

Louise is a single mother and secretary whose life changes when she meets an attractive man at a bar. After they kiss, she believes the connection might lead somewhere—until she discovers he is her new boss, David, and he is married. Shortly after, Louise befriends Adele, a newcomer to town who happens to be David's wife. As Louise becomes closer to both of them, she notices troubling dynamics in their marriage: David is controlling, and Adele appears frightened of him. Louise begins uncovering puzzles about their relationship, but each answer raises more questions. Something is clearly wrong within David and Adele's marriage, and Louise cannot fully grasp how wrong—or what lengths someone might go to protect their secrets. Pinborough's novel takes the traditional love triangle premise and reimagines it in an unexpected direction.
