I enjoy reading a good psychological thriller – the twistier, the better. I love the nail-biting tension and the unexpected surprises left for me by the writer. I have some novels on my bookshelf that I picked out for this post with no hesitation.
The Perfect Girlfriend by Karen Hamilton
Karen Hamilton’s debut novel kept me on the edge of my seat. I could not believe the obsessive nature of the main character and I had to see what she would do next – and whether she would get away with it! This twisty story is well written and I cannot wait to see what this author will write next.
The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn
This novel is a story that would make an excellent film – and I was excited to learn that the rights to the story have been bought by film makers. The story – which touches on mental health issues – had some unexpected surprises within its ages. I loved it! Finn is another author who has published only one novel thus far.
Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter
Karin Slaughter is one of my go-to writers for thrillers. She adroitly teases the reader and takes you along the unknown path right until the end of the story. Pieces of Her is her last published novel and I am looking forward to her next.
I Know You Know by Gilly MacMillan
Gilly MacMillan is another author that I buy with no hesitation. Like her other novels, I Know You Know is a twisty story with a surprise ending and one I did not see coming. I cannot wait for her soon to be released novel that will be available this year.
All The Wrong Places by Joy Fielding
The most recent novel by Joy Fielding confirmed why this author is known for her thrillers. There is not one novel of hers that has disappointed me. The new story has cleverly used the theme of online dating to explore a possible danger. Loved it!
Have you enjoyed any of these thrillers, or authors?

When I went to hear the author speak, he was quite excited about it. It is quite a big deal for a debut author.

Read my blog previous to last. It was published in most magazines and this pathetic little author is nothing but a con man. Quite shocking.

He may have lied about personal issues but that does not detract from the fact that he created a good story which has captured the interest of many.
