Thriller recommendations needed.

My favorite books are psychological thrillers. Any suggestions for books or authors? Thanks!

I've loved all of Ruth Ware's books.

In A Dark Dark Wood

The Woman In Cabin 10

The Lying Game

The Death of Mrs. Westaway  

 

Also:

The Girl Before by JP Delaney

The Woman In The Window  by AJ Finn

The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

 

My husband's cousin's first novel - a psych thriller -  is just out And Then You Were Gone.  He's a psychologist from Nashville - has had many articles published and psych books.  I'm starting it today.

Peter Swanson The Kind Worth Killing. He wrote other books, but this was my favorite.

Re: Thriller recommendations needed.

Psychological thrillers are my favorites, too! Most recently, I've been reading (listening to, actually!) Alafair Burke: Long Gone, The Ex, and The Wife. She has a new book coming out next month, The Better Sister, which I have on pre-order.
