In need of some good books to download on my kindle. I've just finished the other wife which I really enjoyed and I started reading the family upstairs but couldn't get into it. I don't know why but I much prefer reading books in first person. Other recent books I've read and really enjoyed:
Gone without a trace
Behind closed doors
Through the wall
After I've gone
The silent sister
The other woman
One little mistake

I don't know why but I've really struggled this year to find any books that are as good as some mentioned above. Got so much spare time at the moment so if you have any good domestic thriller reconnections please let me know

Douglas Kennedy-
A Special Relationship
The State of the Union
The Pursuit of Happiness
The Big Picture

In fact most of his stuff. Ignore the silly, girly covers.

Fab, I need this thread.

I've just read 'My lovely wife' which I enjoyed and also 'Hold my hand' by Michael Ford.

I'm not sure if they are 'domestic thrillers as I don't know what they are!! but both great reads with really odd twists.

@FabulouslyElegantTits A domestic thriller is one where the danger lies within your immediate friends, family or colleagues, rather than from a serial killer on the loose!

Thankyou @HollowTalk

Both of the ones I've recommended fit then 👍🏻

Only just caught up with this thread have some more on my list now which I will get round to reading! I'm currently reading 'her name was rose' and it seems really good so far

@HollowTalk I finished Remember Me and loved it! Would highly recommend. I've also just read Little Friends by Jane Shemilt and would also recommend that. On the look out for the next read now.
