What to expect
A relationship can hold many secrets...
She wakes up in a pitch-black room, not knowing where she is. Why has she been taken? Who can she hear talking? And why does she soon feel safer here, imprisoned, than she had begun to feel with her husband, Jed?
Amelie has always been a survivor, from losing her parents as a child in Paris to making it on her own in London. Then she meets Carolyn and is soon swept up in a glamorous London lifestyle. Until it starts to go wrong ...
In true B.A. Paris style, The Prisoner is a gripping survival story, a twisted love story and at its dark heart a thriller to keep you up all night.

Critics Review
With twists and turns aplenty, scandal, mystery and a strong protagonist, this thriller will keep the reader guessing until the very last page!
Fans of the author will be enthralled by this. I loved the short chapters in part one, which really added to the rising tension
Elegant, taut, ingeniously plotted and extremely addictive. Superb!
Dark and compulsive . . . B.A. Paris again conjures up the tense claustrophobia of Behind Closed Doors and delivers yet another brilliant, unputdownable read
Wow! What a ride! A tantalising, taut, tense thriller
Dark, daring and irresistible. B.A. Paris takes a clever, sinister survival story and further elevates it with her trademark style and heart. Truly impossible to put down
Pacy, gripping from the get-go, and with so many twists! I felt so strongly for Amelie and was rooting for her the entire book. The Prisoner is a brilliant addition to B.A. Paris’s stella stable of thrillers
Intense and gripping, The Prisoner is suffused with intrigue and menace
Clever, twisty and unusual
Taut, suspenseful, loaded with twists and surprises, and the true definition of a just-one-more-chapter page-turner. It’s another B.A. Paris triumph – complex, compelling and absolutely impossible to resist
So utterly gripping I finished it in one heart-racing afternoon. Clobbered me from the first page and kept me hostage until I’d turned the last
This web of fear and lies is much more complex, satisfyingly so, than Room, involving many more characters, intricate plotting, and layers of subterfuge. Paris’s fans won’t be disappointed and readers new to the author will be hooked
The explosive start of this book sets up a compelling plot […] written in well-executed super-edgy, short, sharp chapters and the description of her confinement is full of claustrophobic detail and menace
It’s a rollercoaster ride, with plenty of twists
Book of the Month: chilling, intense and frightening in places, you’ll be left wondering what is real and what isn’t
Chilling, intense and downright frightening in places
Pulse pounding
Another nail-biting thriller. A gripping and twisted love story
A dark, gripping story
Punchy chapters ramp up the suspense
Paris skilfully stitches together domestic noir with a kidnap thriller and the result is a gripping read
The tension is electric
This has the best opening scene of any thriller this year. Thoughtful and surprising writing
