Psychological thrillers?

Baylie — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 12:43:54 GMT

I love the ones with surprise endings. Any suggestions? Nothing supernatural, please. Thanks!

"The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides.

"The Kind Worth Killing" by Peter Swanson.

Two very good thrillers with endings one doesn't see coming.

Totally agree about The Silent Patient. Great book!

Here's a few that I really enjoyed and the endings were shocking!

The Wives

The Last Mrs. Parrish

A Stranger on the Beach

My Lovely Wife

The Other Woman

Behind Closed Doors

I also agree with the other two mentioned, both were very good as well. The Kind Worth Killing was one of my most favorite psychological thriller books! These are my favorite type of books to read!

SHIVER by ALLIE REYNOLDS and SANITORIUM by SARAH PEARSE; psychological thrillers is my preferred genre! These 2 were fabulous!

Just finished Win by Harlan Coben. It was highly recommended in a mystery and thriller group on Facebook but I found it to be very disappointing. I started The Kind Worth Killing today and I think I am really going to enjoy it! Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions. Just added them all to my list!

I started The Kind Worth Killing Saturday - finished it Sunday - GREAT book - one of the best ever in this genre.

Thanks for the recs!

Highly recommend "All The Wrong Places" by Joy Fielding. All of her books are very good. Check her out!

The Last Flight - Julie Clark

And I have to agree with the others about "The Kind Worth Killing". It's the one that got me started with this genre and I don't think any have topped it since.

I just finished an older title of Tami Hoag's titled Deeper Than the Dead. It's a good one: lots of suspense, several possible bad guys, lots of red herrings. There are some tragic family dynamics going on in three families-all too realistic, I'm sad to say. It's a good read though.

@maximillian , is this a new one? S

Well, Alex was interviewed on GMA today and his second book The Maiden is coming out this week ...... AND they said The Silent Patient is being made into a movie.
