Outstanding Book

Here’s a revised five-star review for *Behind a Closed Door* by J.D. Barker:

---


Behind A Closed Door by J.D. Barker is an extraordinary psychological thriller that captivated me from the very first page. The plot twists and turns in ways that kept me guessing, and the suspense was so intense that I couldn’t stop reading. Once I finished the book, I immediately listened to the audio version, which was just as gripping.

Barker’s ability to create such vivid and complex characters is truly remarkable. The story dives deep into the dark secrets and hidden fears that lie behind a seemingly ordinary life, making for a read that is both chilling and thought-provoking.

The audio narration was exceptional, adding an extra layer of tension and emotion to the experience. It felt like I was right there, living through the events alongside the characters.

If you enjoy thrillers that keep you on edge and leave you thinking long after you’ve finished, *Behind a Closed Door* is an absolute must. Both the book and the audio version are outstanding. Highly recommended!

The dark parts 😂

Genre: thriller, action, mystery

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3.5/5 stars

Lots of action. It seemed very unrealistic at times but really not that far fetched since our world is so reliant on technology. Very eerie and disturbing on many levels!

Twists I never saw coming

This book was amazing. Great character development, with lots of surprises. It’s been a while since I enjoyed a book this much. I didn’t want it to end.

Great Ride!

I suppose I was expecting an “ okay” story, but it turned out that I couldn’t stop listening to this audiobook. The story was very original with lots of unexpected twists and turns. Based on some of the reviews, I was expecting a dark and uncomfortable story, but this was not that. Sure, the content is adult in nature (not porn-like, though), but it was not uncomfortable for me and I found it entertaining. The narrator did a great job with differentiating across characters, so it was easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this audiobook.

No spoiler review

First, I started listening to the author starting with the fourth monkey. I first encountered the narrator Edoardo Ballerini with Proxima Rising. So for me this was an easy purchase. The story was fun. It was a great listen. I listened to the entire book in one sitting. You just can’t go wrong with this pair.

Great book

I’m not a fan of horror book but everything jd has written that isn’t horror I have listened to and he is good. The 4mk series is a favorite of mine.

Twists and turns! Long…

I really liked the book. I liked the writing and loved the narration. The storyline was interesting and held my attention except the last like 15 chapters. I feel like the story just drug out for too long. I kept wanting it to be over even though it was a great book. Sounds funny to say that, but I get like it just starting to repeat itself a bit at the end. I feel like those last 20 chapters could have to tied up in a much abridged version and would have been just as effective in the storytelling aspect and in the plot twists and turns aspect. So I’m torn between loving the writer, this novel, and narration and saying that the last chapters have almost turned me off from reading his other books. I have already put his other books in my library and was looking forward to them. I am still going to read at least one more to see if this novel is indicative of how he ends his novels. Thanks and this was just my two cents worth.

Great start but started dragging

I loved the story line to start and it started out great but after 4 hours of this 11 hour book it was just dragging. I kept listening thinking it would get better but didn’t really. Don’t get me wrong it’s still a good book just long.

Unhinged in the best way!

The story line will have you in a chokehold from minute one! This book is action packed yet still a touch a romance. By the end you’ll be questioning all your life decisions.

Look past a few things and it's not bad

It's not his best, but the writing still works as does the narration. The well formed characters drove the story and allowed you to look past the blatant "jump the shark" moments. There is a message embedded here, and as we embrace AI, this can serve as a cautionary tale. It's a well paced story which also helps with a satisfying ending. It's worth a listen, especially if you like this author. I don't think this was meant to be on the same playing ground as his others and in his authors note, he sort of eludes to that. We all a love a good Sugar and Spice moment. :)
