Feels like an age since I've had a book that I couldn't put down. Last one I really enjoyed was Apple Tree Yard, I think.

Any ideas?

Shari Lapena - Stranger in the house and An Unwanted guest

I've just finished Sarah Waters Fingersmith. I couldn't put it down!

Psychologika · 21/11/2019 06:59

@ironickname yes, I've read that and thought the same! Would love something similar, actually!

Any of the recent Lisa Jewell ones, The Family Upstairs is the newest, really enjoyed it.

Claire McGowan I think it is, The Other Wife was quite good, read that last week. And have just started reading Little Face by Sophie Hannah and it seems quite promising and it's part of a series so optimistic about it.

I read a lot of psychological thrillers and I recommend I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh

666onmyhead · 21/11/2019 19:50

Anything by Michele Davies !! Her books are fab !

dontticklethetoad · 21/11/2019 19:52

The Dry by Jane Harper is really very good.

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 21/11/2019 19:56

I See You by Clair Macintosh is also very good.

KondoKonvert · 21/11/2019 19:56

I second I Let You Go. Her other books haven't been quite as good though.

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 21/11/2019 19:56

Clare. Not Clair

Lie with me by Sabine Durrant - loved it!

user1471453601 · 21/11/2019 20:01

Platform 7 by Louise Doughty. It really gripped me. I really wanted to put it dowm, but I couldn't

TheOriginalChatelaine · 22/11/2019 09:18

Nicci French, the Frieda Klein series or any of their stand alone thrillers. Peter James, Roy Grace series or his stand alone thrillers.

Clawdy · 22/11/2019 17:18

The Burning Air by Erin Kelly. What a twist!

Frouby · 22/11/2019 17:53

The Dry is good actually. I need to remember to look for other titles by that author.

Engleby by sebastian faulks

Platform 7 will be on my xmas list

EauDeChlorine · 22/11/2019 21:15

Blood orange by H Tyce. Loved it and reminded me of Apple Tree Yard. Very enjoyable read.

Stranger in the House, An Unwanted Guest

mizu · 22/11/2019 21:18

Another one for Sabine Durrant Lie with me. Love all her books, she's got a great style of writing.

riotlady · 22/11/2019 21:20

I just finished The Last by Hanna Jameson in 2 days and was gripped the whole way through! 20 people are stranded in a Swiss hotel following a nuclear war and a body is found... mixture of survival story and murder mystery.

Tana French’s Dublin series is great too.

legolegolegolego · 22/11/2019 21:20

The Doll Factory

Social Creature

The Corset

The Woman Next Door

catlovingdoctor · 22/11/2019 21:21

The Rumour by Lesley Kara

DrMaryMalone · 22/11/2019 21:27

Maybe something by Sharon (SJ).Bolton? I remember quite enjoying her first book Sacrifice and a few others after that.

FOJeremy · 22/11/2019 21:28

I love anything by Shari Lapena

Thisnamechanger · 22/11/2019 21:30

The Maeve Kerrigan series by Jane Casey. Sassy female DC in a man's world solving murders.
