I've started to get into psychological thrillers, read Girl on a Train in a day and half way through Behind Closed Doors. Any more good one to recommend? TIA

Yes to You by Caroline Kepnes. Fab novel. Didn't think much of the followup, but hey, we're all different. A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay. Things We Have in Common by Tasha Kavanagh. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty is not much of a "psychological thriller" but it reminded me a little bit of Girl on the Train, you might like that.

Place marking! Haven't read a good thriller in ages!!!

My suggestions are the Tom Douglas series by Rachel Abbott I find her books un-put-downable

Silent Scream by Angela Marsons

If anyone after a good Audio book, The Woodcutter By a Reginald Hill is fantastic. Jonathan Keeble is 5*

The Ice Twins by S K Tremayne, who has another one coming out soon. It has an easy to follow storyline but kept you guessing all the way through.

I have just finished All Fall Down by Tom Bale, I really enjoyed it. Definitely a page turner.

HalloweenQueen1 · 12/10/2016 17:44

You by Caroline Kepnes and the follow up Hidden Bodies. I've read quiet a few mentioned above and they're all really good, especially The Darkest Corner, it was so gripping. The Girl in the Red Coat was also good (and a bit different) I also loved Gillian Flynns Sharp Objects & Dark Places ( thought they were so much better than Gone Girl)

The80sweregreat · 12/10/2016 16:53

oh good! I love Erin's work. The burning air was simply brilliant.
also waiting for JK Rowling to write another Cormoran Strike/ Robin book. They are thrillers and very well done.
I also like Ruth rendall, but not read any of the more recent books. As Barbara Vine she was also very good, a dark adapted eye was very intense, although its quite old now.

Placemarking, sorry Grin

BloodyDifficultWoman · 10/10/2016 23:31

Marking place, thanks to all so far. Gone Girl's author wrote two others which were fab imo.

DonaldTrumpsTrump · 10/10/2016 23:29

The One That Got Away by Simon Wood was brilliant, I read it in a couple of days and was at the edge of my seat the whole time. Highly recommended.

ireadnovels · 10/10/2016 19:27

I read thrillers all the time. My favourite
Killing Kate by Alex Lake. Between you and Me Lisa Hall. Only Daughter Anna Snoekstra. The Art Teacher Paul Read A tapping at my Door David Jackson. The Mountain in my Shoe Louise Beech. The Ice Beneath her Camilla Crebe

Just finished Michael J Malone's "A Suitable Lie", domestic noir set in Ayr, very readable...

Yawnyawnallday · 10/10/2016 12:30

Place firmly and unashamedly marked. Read quite a few of the recommended ones . Burning air was a good page turner I recently read.

bumpetybumpbumpbump · 09/10/2016 17:21

When I'm in the mood I love a good, pacy psychological thriller -Sabine durrant, mark Edwards etc. I think it comes from days of devouring point horror and point crime as a kid!

If you like psych thrillers you will like behind closed doors _i really enjoyed it and read it in a day.Brew

Kai1977 · 09/10/2016 16:51

Sabine Durrant and Harriet Lane have a few books between them that I really enjoyed.

place marking to come back to. Have read a few in here and liked them. But didn't enjoy Girl on a Train or Gone Girl.
