SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
The instant New York Times and #1 international bestseller. “You should read Behind Her Eyes…It’s bloody brilliant.” —Stephen King
"An eerie thriller…Pinborough keeps us guessing about just who’s manipulating whom – until the ending reveals that we’ve been wholly complicit in this terrifying mind game.” —The New York Times Book Review
Why is everyone talking about the ending of Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes?
Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. On a rare night out, she meets a man in a bar and sparks fly. Though he leaves after they kiss, she’s thrilled she finally connected with someone.
When Louise arrives at work on Monday, she meets her new boss, David. The man from the bar. The very married man from the bar…who says the kiss was a terrible mistake, but who still can’t keep his eyes off Louise.
And then Louise bumps into Adele, who’s new to town and in need of a friend. But she also just happens to be married to David. And if you think you know where this story is going, think again, because Behind Her Eyes is like no other book you’ve read before.
David and Adele look like the picture-perfect husband and wife. But then why is David so controlling? And why is Adele so scared of him?
As Louise is drawn into David and Adele’s orbit, she uncovers more puzzling questions than answers. The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong. But Louise can’t guess how wrong—and how far a person might go to protect their marriage’s secrets.
In Behind Her Eyes, Sarah Pinborough has written a novel that takes the modern day love triangle and not only turns it on its head, but completely reinvents it in a way that will leave readers reeling.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The plot was a longtime in building and in the end, it ended up being more sci-fi bc the twist wasn’t believable.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I NEVER write reviews; however, I'm compelled to do so for this story. It was so well-written, and literally had me listening to it from beginning to end (luckily I had two sets of Bluetooth headphones, so I could switch out whilst still going about my chores, etc.).
I'd seen reviews and worried I'd be disappointed; but nothing could be farther from the truth. I loved it - and the ending. Yes, there were a lot of twists in this book. And, although early in the last 1/3 of the book, I kind of sensed what was really going on - and I was right - it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book (even the ending).
I've never read anything by this author; I look forward to reading more of her books.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good book but the ending had a strange twist. Don't read if you are expecting a normal mystery novel

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Meh. I really did enjoy the storyline EXCEPT I loathe any type of “magical or mystical” type elements. That turned me off.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The twist of the end was amazing such a great book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love the thrill in the story. I could never imagine how the story would have ended this way!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Super shocked. It seemed a little slow at first. But once it got into the meat of what was going on, I thought I had it figured out, and I really didn’t. Excellent
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just when you think you know the ending, you get the breath knocked out of you. Incredible!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was genius! I truly loved the writing style. The characters were so good & likable. Will be watching the movie on Netflix tonight. ? Such a great read. Nothing could’ve prepared me for the ending!!!! Wow.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Did not finish... Watched the Netflix show first and really liked it, although a bit confusing. I thought I would try reading the book now, but I just could not get into it and found it very hard and confusing to stick to it; even with trying to picture the characters and events that took place to make it all come together. I was hoping the ending that I saw on the show would be explained better in the book, but I just could not bring myself to finish.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. Just wow. Great book. Now off to watch the Netflix version. I hope I’m in for a good time!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I waited 52 chapters for something exciting to happen and the “big” twist at the end was predictable. Only finished this because I had already started and felt a duty to finish it. Nerve again.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was better than I expected, and the end was pretty good. A new sort of happy ending.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was a good book with a great twist at the end. It’s a bit creepy & kinda questionable for those that do not believe in this sorta stuff. You should give it a read! I loved the storyline & the characters seemed interesting. I was hooked on finding out what happened to the main character.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely brilliant! THE LAST CHAPTER WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!! Can't wait to watch the show next on the netflix!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A bit slow at first, the twists were absolutely great!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a little slow in the beginning. Just a tad, but it was necessary to build the story and boy does that ending make it worth it. Such a great read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Maybe I've read too many books but I predicted the whole plot about half way in.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not like any book I have ever read. Suspenseful, so many twists and chilling in the end. Total page turned couldn’t put it down
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mannnnn. I loved this. My new fav. Great thriller.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mind blowing. It’s been a while since I wasn’t able to predict the ending of a story. Just wow
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The whole book is wonderfully written! The reading is equally as great.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Creepy! Page-turner with a really big WTF ending! Bravo! Five stars
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely phenomenal book. Head-scratchingly good the entire way through and then blows your mind entirely at the end. I went through a hundred scenarios in my head and was texting my bff literally in real time (shed already read it) and then was still amazingly shocked at the end. Can't wait to check out the author's other work.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A bit long but in the end it all is for the best. Fabulous work! Really good read if your looking for a psychological thriller that’s not the average.??
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Intriguing story with a unique twist leaves you wondering about the characters.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow! Sarah is a master at deception. The ending hit me like a train I never saw coming.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just when you think you can predict what happens next, think again. The most riveting book I’ve read in a long time
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Very disappointing ending. Great until
the last chapter, ruined the book. Wanted to read more of her books but not if they have crazy endings like this. I read it before I watched the Netflix version. Not going to waste my time. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The 'twist' was an unbelievable letdown. Ruined book for me.
