Before you go to sleep and Behind her eyes.

I would recommend Heidi Perks's books. I found them very gripping and enjoyable.
The mention of B A Paris's Behind Closed Doors also reminded me that I enjoyed a Susan Lewis novel, also called Behind Closed Doors, which I would recommend.

@Peppermintfluffysocks

I’m currently reading Behind closed doors, I’m absolutely hooked.

I’ve read The Therapist and The Dilemma also by B A Paris and can’t wait to read her other books!

Love this thread. I read 'the silent daughter' in a day this weekend. Worth a try if you want an Easy read thriller, page turner. Free on prime :)

The Dinner Guest
The Guilty party.

Can't remember authors but both very gripping.

@StealthPolarBear I would recommend Sister, definitely, but not as much. I did quite like Afterwards, but that's the bronze medal.

Blatantly following

New recommendation - Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton, about a school shooting. Am a teacher so quite target-audience but I think it would be hard not to enjoy. Totally gripping about radicalization and love.
It's fantastic. I wish I hadn't read itso I could read it. Oddly none of her other books appeal to me. I haven't bought any others.

I let you go by Clare Makintosh is very gripping

[quote Paranoidandroidmarvin1350]@RampantIvy thanks for the heads up on the still lake book. It was free on kindle unlimited and am really enjoying it.

Have added most of these to my list of books to be read. Especially the push.[/quote]
Glad you are enjoying it.

Another vote for Child A. If you fancy listening rather than reading, the audiobook read by Holliday Granger is really good.

Chocolatefrenzy · 22/04/2021 19:53

Something in the water by Catherine Steadman, absolutely gripping! Definitely recommend

endoflevelbaddy · 01/04/2021 08:51

I loved Good Me Bad Me by Ali Land when I read it a few years ago.

Peppermintfluffysocks · 01/04/2021 08:34

Into the darkest corner - Elizabeth Haynes
Behind closed doors - B A Paris

I bought The Last Thing to Burn and Follow You Home off the back of this thread.

I read The Last Thing to Burn in one evening 😳 so it was definitely compelling and tense.....BUT I didn't love it. I found the first person narrative totally at odds with the lead character's background. It didn't ring true to me at all. I also struggled with descriptions of solely female subjects as written by a bloke. It didn't sound authentic.

I think this is exactly why I loved We Need to Talk About Kevin and The Push so much. They could only have been written by a woman.

Yellowfish2020 · 27/03/2021 13:43

Just downloaded the Push based on this thread and I'm already completely sucked in! Not much will be getting done this weekend :)

PLAYJAJADINGDONG · 27/03/2021 10:49

*LifeIn and Thirty I bought The Push after seeing Dawn Porter recommend it on insta and read it in a day and a half! Just devoured it.

Reminiscent of We Need to Talk About Kevin (albeit not as good) but a great read.

If anyone can recommend any similar books, I'd be very grateful!

The Ex by Nicola Moriarty

Thirtyrock39 · 27/03/2021 10:11

I was just about to recommend the push' - was gripped and also read it in two days- so good I spent Friday night reading it instead of drinking wine in front of gogglebox as usual !

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 16/03/2021 11:44

I just finished The Push by Ashley Audrain. Really good, I devoured it in a couple of days.
