Recomend me a psychological thriller

[Stealthynamechange]

Hi

I'm in the mood for a psychological thriller, nothing too concentraty!! i enjoyed gone girl & girl on the train. Any recomendations?

I thought Child A was excellent.

My favourites ever are
Tell No One (Harlen Coben)
No Time to Say Goodbye (Linwood Barclay)
Sister (Rosamund Lupton)
Blacklands and Snap, both by Belinda Bauer.
Alys Always by Harriet Lane is beautifully written.

Thank you :-) will check those out

Follow You Home by Mark Edwards. It knocks spots off Gone Girl, which I found disappointing.
The Stillhouse Lake series by Rachel Caine - absolutely gripping.

I read The Last Thing To Burn this week. Absolutely raced through it and didn't go to sleep til 11.22pm (!!!!) as I just had to finish it.

I also really enjoyed Blood Orange by Harriet Tyce.

Backpack by Emily Barr. Her other books are also in the same vein.

Thank you so much everyone - i now have a good Tbr pile!
@InsideNumberNine thanks for recomending last thing to burn - i downloaded the sample & am hooked!

Behind her eyes from Sarah Pinborough. The series is on Netflix at the moment but I thought the book was so much better

Linwood Barclay’s No Time for Goodbye is great - I second the recommendation.

Lisa Unger’s Beautiful Lies and its Sliver of Truth are twisty and unsettling thrillers.

Any novel by Nicci French - all the ones I've read so far have been good. Try Secret Smile, The Safe House, or The Lying Room.

Thank you so much for all the recomendations :-)

I just finished The Push by Ashley Audrain. Really good, I devoured it in a couple of days.

I was just about to recommend the push' - was gripped and also read it in two days- so good I spent Friday night reading it instead of drinking wine in front of gogglebox as usual !

The Ex by Nicola Moriarty

*LifeIn and Thirty I bought The Push after seeing Dawn Porter recommend it on insta and read it in a day and a half! Just devoured it.

Reminiscent of We Need to Talk About Kevin (albeit not as good) but a great read.

If anyone can recommend any similar books, I'd be very grateful!

Just downloaded the Push based on this thread and I'm already completely sucked in! Not much will be getting done this weekend :)

I bought The Last Thing to Burn and Follow You Home off the back of this thread.

I read The Last Thing to Burn in one evening 😳 so it was definitely compelling and tense.....BUT I didn't love it. I found the first person narrative totally at odds with the lead character's background. It didn't ring true to me at all. I also struggled with descriptions of solely female subjects as written by a bloke. It didn't sound authentic.

I think this is exactly why I loved We Need to Talk About Kevin and The Push so much. They could only have been written by a woman.

Into the darkest corner - Elizabeth Haynes
Behind closed doors - B A Paris

I loved Good Me Bad Me by Ali Land when I read it a few years ago.

Something in the water by Catherine Steadman, absolutely gripping! Definitely recommend

Another vote for Child A. If you fancy listening rather than reading, the audiobook read by Holliday Granger is really good.

@RampantIvy thanks for the heads up on the still lake book. It was free on kindle unlimited and am really enjoying it.

Have added most of these to my list of books to be read. Especially the push.

New recommendation - Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton, about a school shooting. Am a teacher so quite target-audience but I think it would be hard not to enjoy. Totally gripping about radicalization and love.
