Title says it all really!
Thank you.

I recently read “Those People” by Louise Candlish which I enjoyed, although having lived with awful anti-social neighbours I found some of it a little traumatic. Really easy to get into though, short chapters flitting between different characters’ perspectives.

Namechange3007 · 06/08/2019 22:03

Thank you. Is it a thriller?

The Rumour by Lesley Kara
I thought it was a real page turner

lauryloo · 06/08/2019 22:16

The rumour as suggested above was brilliant. I just finished I looked away by Jane Corry, was really good

Mammajay · 06/08/2019 22:17

Gone Girl

GinisLife · 06/08/2019 22:17

Read all of Angela Marsons books in order.

Namechange3007 · 07/08/2019 07:59

Thank you. Have downloaded the rumour and those people.

Stillhouse Lake and Killman Creek by Rachel Caine
Follow You Home by Mark Edwards

Have recently read and liked Sleep by C.L. Taylor which is good

LellyM · 07/08/2019 14:43

Anything written by Scott Mariani. He writes light thrillers all featuring the same main character. They are entertaining but after a few you come to realise they are all the same story (doesn't stop me having read most of them!!)

Snap by Belinda Bauer

I was just about to recommend the same books as TapasForTwo.

The Stillhouse lake trilogy are brilliant, I read the third one in a weekend.

TapasForTwo · 07/08/2019 23:14

I'm looking forward to the third book glen

Alex Marwood - her books are loosely based on true crimes/mysteries

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 08/08/2019 11:26

loved The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley

Ellmau · 18/08/2019 11:30

Most recently I've been gripped by Shari Lapena, An Unwanted Guest.

All of Ruth Ware's have been excellent.

SeroxatBlonde · 18/08/2019 11:31

Anything by Mark Edwards in particular The Magpie trilogy.

Lucyslampost · 20/08/2019 17:50

Agree about Alex Marwood. Also Lisa Jewell's recent books

Autumn101 · 20/08/2019 17:55

I read Our House on holiday recently, was easy to read and some good twists

rosybell · 22/08/2019 14:03

Lisa Jewell - the family upstairs

Really easy to read and a bit of a page turner.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 23/08/2019 09:07

The Girl on the Train.

ShimmeryShiny · 23/08/2019 09:13

Michelle Campbell - She was The Quiet One

Hellomatey001 · 23/08/2019 20:48

"Sometimes I lie" Alice Feeney, well written, scary and with the obligatory killer twist.

"Couple next door" by Shari Lapena not particularly literary but utterly gripping.

"Behind her eyes" by Sarah Pinborough - now this divides people, it does touch on the supernatural but the twist is a true wtf moment!
