I've enjoyed most of her books, I abandoned one about an elderly hoarder who died as it was like wading through treacle, but that one aside I like her writing style and content.

I've exhausted her books now and would appreciate any recommendations please?

Following with interest - I've actually been meaning to post the very same question!

Ive enjoyed Ruth Ware and also Lucy Foley, too.

h78 · 06/12/2022 19:09

I love her books too so watching for any recommendations

Just started reading some of hers and I love them!

A few other authors I've read recently are
Lucy dawson
Louise candlish
Eve chase
Liane Moriarty

Letsgotitans · 06/12/2022 19:25

I forgot John marrs! Also great

Someaddedsugar · 06/12/2022 19:29

Try Adele Parks too OP

GhoulNightWine · 06/12/2022 19:31

BA Paris is the author who got me started on these sorts of books. Brilliant reads.
I've recently read some CL Taylor ones - ok but not as good.

rookiemere · 06/12/2022 19:31

Marian Keyes - completely different style, but I like both authors so you might too.

Relocatiorelocation · 06/12/2022 21:06

@rookiemere I used to love Marian Keyes, I'd forgotten about her!

@GhoulNightWine I've enjoyed CL Taylor as well, but as you say not quite as good.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll get stuck in.

I love Lisa Jewell. Out of interest, which is the one about hoarding?

I've enjoyed books by Eve Chase, Lianne Moriarty, Nicci French, Shari Lapena, Adele Parks, Lin Anderson, Tess Stimson, Ruth Ware.

Privatestate1 · 06/12/2022 21:28

I love Lisa Jewell when I’m in the right mood! Similar are Shari Lampana, Adele Parks, Harriet Tyce, Liane Moriarty is fab, Sophie Hannah, a book called the wife between us, I think the hoarder one was the house we grew up in - I really enjoyed that one.

WishIhadacrystalball · 06/12/2022 21:34

As someone else said B.A Paris absolutely loved those books, other authors I enjoy are:
Daniel Hurst
Claire Douglas
Cara Hunter
Katerina Diamond
Jenny Blackhurst
Ruth Ware
Harlan Coben

Cheezybiscuit · 06/12/2022 21:36

Shari lapini, Harriet Tyce ( blood orange) Lucy foley, Clare Allan. Read books by all of these on holidays this year.

h78 · 06/12/2022 21:44

The hoader one is really frustrating but also incredibly sad.

name78change · 06/12/2022 21:45

Another vote for Lucy Dawson, and throwing in KL Slater.

Jansobieski · 07/12/2022 19:51

I went through a phase of listening to a couple of Lisa Jewell books via audible. Was really struggling to find a similar author but then came across Nicci French. I actually think they are better and can't put them down !

Rebecca34 · 07/12/2022 19:56

I love Lisa Jewell and recently came across Jean hanff Korelitz. I read The plot and loved it, and then read the Latecomer and couldn't put it down. Beautiful writing and plotwork. Reading a third (about college admissions person) and not quite as good but still enjoyable.

Also, you might like Barbara Vine and some of the Ruth Rendell works,

Rebecca34 · 07/12/2022 19:57

Erin Kelly is also excellent.

stuntbubbles · 07/12/2022 19:58

Gillian McAllister!

Unicorn34 · 07/12/2022 19:59

Dorothy Koomson

Cheeseandlobster · 07/12/2022 20:01

Camilla Way is amazing. She should be more well known than she is and is very similar to Lisa Jewell imo. Also Holly Seddon and Sanjida Kay. I would second Erin Kelly too

Lkydfju · 07/12/2022 20:02

Louise candlish
cara hunter
Dorothy koomson (go for the more recent ones if you want thrillers)

ouch12345 · 07/12/2022 20:06

Helen Fields
Anna Lou Weatherby

Blendandmix · 07/12/2022 20:08

Cara Hunter
Shari Lapena

These are very much Lisa jewel vibes
