Psychological thrillers

[ThirtysomethingMummy]

I have just got into psychological thrillers. I’ve been reading:
Lisa Stone
Alison James
Claire McGowan

Can anyone recommend some authors similar to their style?

Mark Edwards
Ruth ware
alice Feeny
Claire Douglas

are all good.

Oh and
Shari Lapena
Erin kelly
lucy foley
kia Abdulah

I’m halfway through The Commuter
A woman mets a stranger on the tube and starts chatting. She get off at her stop and so does he and that day her step daughter takes a photo of her and him and of course it’s she’s having an affair. If chatting to a fellow commmuter is having an a fist no one wonder no one talks in the tube.

The step daughters dad dies mysteriously and the woman wakes up from a coma.

It’s not terrible but isn’t great

I love Louise Candlish, Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena, Laura Marshall.

Mark Edwards The Magpies ( 3 books)

Lisa Jewell is my favourite. Followed by John Marrs and Frieda McFadden

Belinda Bauer
Nicci French

Not an author rec but a book - The Silent Patient

I've enjoyed books by Gillian McAllister and Erin Kelly.

Anna-Lou Weatherley - I really enjoy the way she tells the crime/mystery story and the detective story alongside each other and I hardly ever work it out before the reveal.

Placemarking for a few more new authors!

As above! I have read every Lisa Jewell book. She is by far my favourite author. Anni Jones is good too.

Barbara Vine's books, it's actually Ruth Rendell, are some of the best thrillers i have read

Also placemarking. Will add some when fully awake

Maria Frankland
Miranda Rijks
Joanne Ryan
Daniel Hurst

Fairly new author Jo O’Neill, More than us. Brilliant book I couldn’t put it down.

John Marrs. He has two types - his psych thrillers and then a series of speculative thrillers that are all set in the same world and are standalone books in their own right, but much better read in order as you have the full picture of what's what then. I put off reading the speculative ones because I didn't think they'd be for me. I can't stand anything remotely sci-fi-esque but thought I'd give them a go and loved them. They are set in the very near future and are terrifyingly plausible in terms of where the world could be heading.

Steve Cavanagh - again, the Eddie Flynn series can be read independently but better in order, plus soke standalone titles too

This is what got me back into reading after so many years of just not being able to concentrate. Mark Edwards will always be special to me in that respect. Currently reading the Wasp Trap and waiting for the Christmas Magpie to be released

Coming back to add in Liane Moriarty to the list

Tana French, I haven’t read the Dublin murder books but have enjoyed her stand alone books.

Barbara Vine is great, as is John Marrs. I’ve just enjoyed a Jayne Cowie book and plan to get another asap.
