I really enjoyed Our House, by Louise Candlish. Plenty of twists, but I am not really sure if it would be classed as a psychological thriller.

Is that the one where the chapters are just called jack-emily-jack-emily etc?

Don’t think so, Stealth as that’s not the names of the main characters.

Sorry I know its not but I can't remember their names.

Stealth they are Fi and Bram. Not sure which book Jack and Emily feature in, though. (derailing thread slightly...)

Agree Our House is good
The Party by Elizabeth Day
Engleby by Sebastian Faulks is really good, not sure if it can be called a psychological thriller exactly but really good.

I love Ms Smilla's Feeling for Snow. Also Camilla Lackberg's books are a good read if you like Scandinavian type crime novels.

Well done Stealth is it any good though?

I’ve just read Jane Casey’s latest. Really like her series

Green tea I found it hard going mainly because of the back and forth. I find the same with books that jump from 1972 to 2004 to present day. Just makes me switch off.
I really loved the hunting party, I like sort of domestic thrillers. I also really enjoyed the last which is a dystopian novel but really good imo. I googled the author and it doesn't look like she's done anything similar

Ooh there's some good sounding books on here! Have nothing to add as all the thrillers I've read recently were a bit rubbish...
