Readers looking for a breezy beach read in the psychological thriller vein will be better served by checking out Aimee Molloy’s THE PERFECT MOTHER, Michelle Sacks’ YOU WERE MADE FOR THIS, and Ruth Ware’s THE DEATH OF MRS. Unfortunately, BRING ME BACK lacks the tension and menace of BEHIND CLOSED DOORS - and, coupled with a totally improbable conclusion, it just falls flat, plain and simple. Longtime readers of Crime by the Book will know much I loved Paris’ BEHIND CLOSED DOORS (I’m still recommending that book, and it’s a couple years old now!), so I had high hopes for Paris’ Summer 2018 release. I really, truly wish I didn’t have to write this review-but honesty is the name of the game, and in that spirit, it’s time that I share my thoughts on B.A. There are few things quite as disappointing as reading a highly-anticipated book and… finding that it doesn’t live up to your expectations. The Verdict: Uneven and improbable suspense
