I'm fed up. Can't find a book I like. Can you suggest any?

Gritty family saga
Anything like Kitty Neale (not her though, I've read them all)
Psychological thriller
Dystopian, along the lines of 1984

All preferably by English authors.

Kerry Wilkinson has some good psychological thrillers:

The Girl Who Came Back
Two Sisters
After the Sleepover
Watched
Last Night

His Jessica Daniel and Andrew Hunter series are worth a look too!

I enjoy the Dr Ruth Galloway mysteries by Elly Griffiths.

Have you read The Handmaid's Tale? Or Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro?
YA but the series of The Hunger Games, Delirium or Divergent have the dystopian overpowering state as themes. I quite liked The Wall by John Lanchester but didn't love it.

Have you read any Nicci French novels? I really enjoyed their Frieda Klein series in particular.

Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie series.

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Blood Orange by Harriet Tyce

I found these psychological thrillers unputdownable. Really enjoyed them.

Really enjoying Christ on a Bike by Orla Owen - the blurb says ‘black mirror meets takes of the unexpected with shades of Shirley Jackson’
