hi everyone! i was wondering if there are any remote book clubs to meet over zoom or something for this genre specifically.

- Do not disturb by Freida McFadden

- Look Closer by David Ellis

- Kill for me kill for you

- Lock every door

- The perfect marriage

- No exit

- The Teacher by Freida McFadden

- The Good Samaritan

- The last house on needless street

- Hidden pictures

- That’s not my name

- Dead med

- Dear Debbie

- My husband’s wife

Note that I recently read The Only One Left, and I LOVED it! That’s my jam. So, if you could suggest a similar book, please share. Thanks!

I feel like I am running out of thrillers to read. I know I am not but it feels like it. Looking for recommendations on something that may not be well known but still solid. For reference I do not like Frieda or Charles Donlea. Tried several by both and just couldn't do it. Lisa Jewell is ok. Gillian Flynn is great. Karin Slaughter is great.

I loved The Last House on Needless Street but I've tried a few of her others and I really didn't like them. I just finished A Man Downstairs and I enjoyed that.

What kind of titles can you toss my way that I may not have come across? I appreciate it.

One of the most underrated thrillers.

Devotion of Suspect X gets all the fame but this one blew my mind.

Such quick, fun reads. I wish she was around when I was a teen!!!!

Some of them read like a play due to all the dialogue but I really enjoy that compared to the 900 pages of run on sentences and repetitive story lines a lot of “adult authors” put out.

The Party is definitely my favorite by her!!!!! My first encounter with a YA slasher!!!

Even if all her books don’t hit the same I’ll continue to support her🩸🔪

or just anything close to this.

NOT the terminal list or the hunger games.

I just finished The Tenant by Freida McFadden and… I don’t know, I feel a bit disappointed.

I actually guessed the twist pretty early on, and after that it kind of took away the tension for me. Some parts also felt a bit far-fetched.

Maybe I’ve just read too many of her books at this point and I’m starting to anticipate her style 😅

Curious to hear what others think — did it work for you or did you see it coming too?

Hi! I’ve been really enjoying some thriller books recently. Ward D by Freida McFadden was my favourite and then The Silent Patient (although it’s got a murder in it, I feel like the mystery was more about why she was silent, so I enjoyed it)

Could anyone suggest me more books that have thriller/mystery/suspense, where I’m trying to figure out what on earth is going on but not a murder mystery?

Thanks in advance!!!

Looking for writer-themed psychological thrillers

I’ve realised I really enjoy thrillers that focus on writers/authors as the main character.

I’m a big Stephen King fan, so I loved Misery and The Shining (even if that one leans more horror).

Any recommendations for similar books where the main character is a writer, or the story revolves around writing/publishing?

Hey, all! 👋

Here is the thing - I have published a psychological thriller - Him & Her on Amazon. The free sample - part of Act 1 is available on Amazon. If anyone would like to check it out, please do and let me know if it makes you want to read it further. I am curious. Thanks in advance!
