B.A. Paris answered patrycja's question: which of your books is your favourite one? mine is the understudy or bring me back!! Hi again, Lovely to know you enjoyed The Understudy and Bring Me Back. My favourite is probably Behind Closed Doors because it was the book that changed my life. I also like The Dilemma, because it is more of a family drama.

B.A. Paris answered patrycja's question: have you ever thought of writing some books which are not thrillers or crime stories?? or why did you choose such a genre??? Hi Patryca, yes, I would like to write family dramas one day, a little like my book The Dilemma, which wasn't really a thriller.

Quotes by B.A. Paris (?)

“We go downstairs and in the hall, he takes my coat from the cupboard and holds it open while I slip my arms into it. In the drive outside, he holds the car door for me and waits until I’m in. As he closes it behind me, I can’t help thinking it’s a shame he’s such a sadistic bastard, because he has wonderful manners.”
― B.A. Paris, Behind Closed Doors

“I don't suppose I could have a whiskey instead of the wine, could I?"
"Whiskey?"
"Yes"
"I didn't know you drank whiskey."
"And I didn't know you were a psychopath. Just bring me a whiskey”
