When folks think of a thriller writer? They think of Freida McFadden – a current Tik Tok sensation-, they think of Stephen King, Agatha Christie, James Patterson, and Gillian Flynn. All of these authors are very popular (for good reason)but an author I think should be included on that list is BA Paris.
BA Paris is the author of the book Behind Closed Doors, which I am absolutely obsessed with. (I have no words on how I processed with end scene with her friend, it lives rent free in my mind.)
While her books have received the titles New York Times Best Seller and Sunday Times Best Seller, her name is not one that comes up when discussing ‘thriller authors.’ Her name isn’t one that I have seen come up in conversation and I really don’t know why. When folks ask me for thriller recommendation I always make sure to bring up her name and books.
I’ve seen that there are some mixed reviews on her books, but I just can’t help but devour her novels.
I do have quite a backlog of her books to read. I have only read two of her novels, but I know that I will easily buy and read the rest as the two novels I did read have left me thinking and trying to process. The twists, the turns, the misdirection. The novels leave you feeling a little helpless and give you chills.
If you are looking for a thriller author who is underrated, but still known I would recommend picking up BA Paris and I would recommend starting with Behind Closed Doors. I have included the link below.
