Behind the Door by A. GavazzoniMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Behind the Door (Hidden Motives, #1) by Adriana Gavazzoni is an erotic mystery thriller with an engaging plot and sympathetic characters. When Simone meets Carl, the last thing she wants to do is assist him with his latest legal case. But as a gifted and thoughtful psychiatrist, who specializes in not so common sexual behaviors, and when Carl describes his case, Simone can't help but try and pitch in to help him. Carl is defending his long time friend Mark, who may have accidentally killed his girlfriend during sex. There is a good mix in this book, and the alternating views that pivot from Mark's detailed journal to the present day for Simone, is a good literary device, and flowed quite smoothly. Lara is the person who has been killed, and even though she is dead, her character is well described; she seems like a flamboyant and crazy lady. There is a lot of detail here about deviant sex practices, but beyond that, the story is substantial and works well on it's own. Overall, a suspenseful read, full of twists and turns, with a solid ending. Highly recommend and looking forward to reading more from this author.
