What to read after Before I Go To Sleep by S J Watson?

[moonblushtomato]

Haven't quite finished it yet - NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!

Absolutely LOVING it, what might I enjoy in a similar vein??

Is it the thriller genre you like, or are you looking specifically for something very similar?

I've read, and enjoyed recently, The Playdate by Louise Millar.

On my kindle, waiting to be read, is Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes (is supposed to be very good).

I've just finished reading Finders Keepers by Belinda Bauer - the third in a series of thrillers set in a fictional village, Shipcott, on Exmoor. The first one is Blacklands and is about a boy Stephen Lamb contacting a serial killer in prison to find out if he killed his uncle when he was a child. Chilling and very good. The second one, Dark Side, wasn't quite so good but Finders Keepers was back on top form. Thoroughly enjoyable - I would recommend them.

Not crime, but if the amnesia theme interests you, The Professor and the Housekeeper by Yoko Ogawa is v good.

Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes is a great book, really chilling.

I agree with Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes!

Little Face by Sophie Hannah

The amnesia one I read after that was Liane Moriarty - What Alice Forgot. It's not really a thriller or crime but I did enjoy it a lot.

The other book by ITDC author was superior imo.

LOVED The Playdate!

The Perfect Mother by Margaret Leroy.

I was a bit undecided about The Playdate, I thought it just got too far fetched in the end, although it was unputdownable until about 3/4 of the way through.

Yes it was far fetched but the characters were believable imo so it worked well.

Tideline by Penny Hancock. I read it directly after Before I go to Sleep. Beautifully captures the River Thames for its setting as well a storyline that whips along.

A novel I've recently read is The Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan. It's all set in a lifeboat full of survivors from an explosion on board an ocean liner, in 1914. There are 39 people in the lifeboat which turns out to be too many. The tension builds as they begin to realise that they can't all survive and some people may have to leave.

I found it gripping and chilling. It's narrated by one person who survived and is in prison awaiting trial for something which isn't revealed until near the end. A genuine page turner, and thoroughly recommended.
