Not an AIBU, but posting for traffic.
That are available on kindle.

Have a holiday coming up, maybe being naive but thinking might get some reading in whilst 18 month dd is busy/napping.

Love anything a bit dark eg Gillian Flynn, ghosty/haunted/thriller/crime stuff.

Really not keen on fluffy stuff a’la Louise pendland-ish books. 👀
TIA

I enjoyed Louise Welsh's Plague Times trilogy. All on special offer on Kindle currently!

The Silent Companions is excellent.

As is The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock.

I am reading You by Caroline Kepnes at the moment, written from the pov of a stalker. Finding it difficult to put down!

not sure if available on kindle, but I’ll b gone in the dark Is the true story of the golden state killer and is amazing.

Not quite what you mentioned but you might like euphoria by Lily King - quite dark and very beautiful.

Brilliant, looking these all up now.

Thank you all!

We Need to Talk about Kevin if you want something a bit dark and thought provoking, it's one of the books I couldn't wait to get back to when I read it, also anything by Angela Carter and Margaret Atwood, she of The Handmaid's Tale [which I recommend too].

'A thousand splendid suns'by Khaled Hosseini, first. Then, his other book:
'Kite Runner'.
Both good.

Little fires everywhere by Celeste ng. An amazing book! Couldn’t get enough.

i'm reading Force of Nature at the moment - two thirds of the way through and it's been really good so far

The Sparrow and Children of God by Maria Doria Russell
The Book of Dave by Will Self
The Girl with All the Gifts by Mike Carey
Purge by Sofi Oksanen
Bird Box by Josh Malerman
Wool, Shift and Dust by Hugh Howey
The Passage, The Twelve and City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin

If you want fun thrillers with heaps of twists and turns and very fast paced then look up 'Ethan Justice'
Fantastic books.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Where the Missing Go, Friend Request, The Dry, The Vanishing of Audrey Wilde.
