I've enjoyed most of her books, I abandoned one about an elderly hoarder who died as it was like wading through treacle, but that one aside I like her writing style and content.

I've exhausted her books now and would appreciate any recommendations please?

Ooh I had a thread on this exact thing a couple of years ago!

My favourites are Dorothy Koomson and Alex Marwood. Also Marian Keyes as recommended above.

@ItsMeHiImTheProblem the hoarding one was called The House We Grew Up In.

I'm here for the recommendations too, while I wait for The Family Remains paperback to be released. 😊

Thank you all so much for these recommendations, I picked up an Adele Parkes in the supermarket and I'm really enjoying it. I'll branch out to some of the others next.

Dorothy koomson (go for the more recent ones if you want thrillers)

Cheeseandlobster · 07/12/2022 20:01

Camilla Way is amazing. She should be more well known than she is and is very similar to Lisa Jewell imo. Also Holly Seddon and Sanjida Kay. I would second Erin Kelly too

Unicorn34 · 07/12/2022 19:59

Dorothy Koomson

stuntbubbles · 07/12/2022 19:58

Gillian McAllister!

Rebecca34 · 07/12/2022 19:57

Erin Kelly is also excellent.

Rebecca34 · 07/12/2022 19:56

I love Lisa Jewell and recently came across Jean hanff Korelitz. I read The plot and loved it, and then read the Latecomer and couldn't put it down. Beautiful writing and plotwork. Reading a third (about college admissions person) and not quite as good but still enjoyable.

Also, you might like Barbara Vine and some of the Ruth Rendell works,

Jansobieski · 07/12/2022 19:51

I went through a phase of listening to a couple of Lisa Jewell books via audible. Was really struggling to find a similar author but then came across Nicci French. I actually think they are better and can't put them down !
