But is Cass really suffering from the same dementia as her mother? Or is something more sinister at work? She orders things on the shopping network that she doesn’t remember ordering. She forgets little things like when her husband should be home or a lunch date with her best friend. Will the cops catch him? Did he see Cass when she pulled over? Did he follow her home? And is he the one calling every morning, breathing, and then hanging up? But Paris takes the whodunit one step further: Cass’s mother suffered from early-onset dementia, and it looks like Cass may be suffering the same thing. The plot is simple enough on the surface: a woman is killed in Cass’s neighborhood, and the murderer is on the loose. So upping the ante in her sophomore effort is a difficult challenge-one that Paris rises to. Her first, Behind Closed Doors, was a rollercoaster exploration of a very dysfunctional marriage. The Breakdown is the second psychological bombshell by B. A woman in a parked car on the side of the road. The next day, the news breaks: a woman has been murdered. When the driver remains in her car, Cass moves on. She barely sees the car stopped on the side of the road, but when she does, she pulls over briefly and waits to see if the driver will come over to her. With the rain beating against her windshield, it’s hard to see the road in front of her.

Despite warnings from her husband to take the longer-but-safer route, Cass decides to take a shortcut. It all begins on a dark and stormy night-a good night to try and get home fast. Take a visual tour of The Breakdown-one of the most anticipated thrillers of 2017! Paris is the next chilling, propulsive book from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors (available July 18, 2017).
