Just finished Big Little Lies, now what?

[ohgoshIdontknow]

I'm at the end of a run of brilliant books and looking for something else gripping enough to make me put down my phone, turn off Netflix and go to bed to read.

I don't want anything sad or sci fi or too trashy but would appreciate any really good suggestions!

Thank you!

Following

There is a crime series by M J Arlidge that I have just finished (7 books in all I think) that I have really enjoyed and genuinely hadn't guessed any of the twists in the books. The first on is called Eeny Meeny if you are interested.

thanks for the recommendation - i have read a few of that series but hadn't go the rest so just downloaded!

Thank you so much SmokingGun - I shall look that up.

After I posted this I did some stalking of other similar posts and ended up ordering this from Amazon, Gilead by Marilynne someone.

www.amazon.co.uk/Gilead-Marilynne-Robinson/dp/1844081486/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492628646&sr=8-1&keywords=gilead+marilynne+robinson&tag=mumsnetforum-21

Rather looking forward to it

OK just ordered Eeny Meeny as it looks great, thanks so much again SmokingGun!

The swimming pool is really good by Louise candlish

Ooh thank you will heck that one out too!

Black widow by Chris Brookmyre. An excellent whodunnit and not too grisly. Dh and I have both just really enjoyed it.

Why are all the good recommended books never on kindle unlimited grrrrr :/

I found You by Lisa Jewell is really good

Hope you enjoy it ohgosh

I've just downloaded I found you so thanks muggle for the recommendation

Disclaimer by Renee Knight has been a hit with everyone in my office. I also read Daisy in Chains by Sharon Bolton recently and thoroughly enjoyed that.

The girls by Lisa Jewell is brilliant

Try some more of Liane Moriaty. She has written some great books.

I just started reading Big Little Lies.

More Liane Moriarty. I enjoyed all of them, but Three Wishes and The Last Anniversary weren't quite as good as the rest for me.

Alex Marwood, the Darkest Secret, is excellent, even if notably ripped off a major news event...

I agree The Last Anniversary was a bit of a dud but loved the others by Liane Moriarty.
I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh explores similar themes to Big Little Lies.

I second MJ Arlidge & Sharon Bolton. I've just read a book by Rachel Abbot called The Back Road which was really good (so I've checked out all her other books of course!)
Paula Daly - The Trophy Child is also quite good!

Back with another recommendation! Escape by C.L Taylor. I've just finished it and loved it, was very fast paced from the first chapter which I enjoyed as a moly of other psychological thrillers are slow burners.

MissCalamity - I love both Rachel Abbott and Paula Daly, Mel Sharrat is a similar author if you haven't read any of her stuff already?

Thanks for the tip smokinggun never heard of Mel Sharrat before, are her books in a series or stand alone ones?

I couldn't put down The Light Between Oceans - ML Stedman

The Poison Tree by Erin Kelly is quite good, also behind closed doors by BA Paris

Is Big Little Lies good? I am reading The Husband's Secret by the same author, but have only just started it.

I have just finished Lie With Me by Sabine Durrant which I enjoyed.

I will admit that I found The girls by Lisa Jewell a big pile of shite. I downloaded it by accident. What I meant to download was The Girls by Emma Cline which was brilliant.
