Where They Find Her- Kimberly McCreight ??
Both books by B.A. Paris.
Yes! Came to recommend The Breakdown.
Just read the break down, really liked it.
“Behind Her Eyes”, by Sarah Pinborough; “The Girl Before”, by JP Delaney; “The Secrets She Keeps”, by Michael Robotham.
Into the water , woman in cabin 10
Lie to Me by J.T. Ellison
Thank you! I have added them to my to read list.
My Husband’s Wife
Behind Closed Doors
Just finished that last night….creepy and disturbing.
@Patti I know. Thankfully I’m already married or this book would’ve made me never want to get married…..
Ruth Ware: In a Dark Dark Wood, Woman in Cabin 10, The Lying Game.
Yes, woman in cabin 10 is a very good read.
Loved the Lying Game
Megan Miranda: All the Missing Girls, The Perfect Stranger.
Broken Monsters by Beukes!
Definitely Gillian Flynn’s others (Dark Places, Sharp Objects)
Dead Woman Walking by Sharon Bolton
All books by Karen Slaughter especially Will Trent series
Sharp Objects. Dark Places. Her Every Fear.
Into the water
The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson
The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter, He Said/She Said by Erin Kelly, All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda, Copycat by Gillian White
Into the Darkest Corner by E. Haynes. She also wrote Behind Closed Doors which was good too.
i second into the darkest corner!
I think it came out at the same time as Gone Girl so it got overlooked by all of the GG insanity.
The Good Girl
I’m only about halfway through but A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena seems to have the same vibe.
Currently reading In a Dark Dark Wood & really enjoying it. I like it much more than her other book The a woman in Cabin Ten..
Sophie Hannah is the queen of the psychological mystery. She has a dozen books or so. Enjoy!
I second Behind closed doors
The girl before you
Check out Sarah Pinborough – her Murder/Mayhem books.
Behind Her Eyes is the only one I’ve read by her!
This may be completely out of range but ….I never hear Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series mentioned. And at least in all the early ones there’s some dark crazy. Along with some really quirky funny bits. Haven’t liked the latest ones as well but all the early ones were great entertaining reads.
Sharp Objects and Dark Places also by Gillian Flynn. Also the Kate Burkholder series by Linda Castillo
It’s not very similar but the suspense is, Caleb Carr’s The Alienist
Before I go to sleep, A stranger in the house, the couple next door. All very similar, and great page turners.
Every last lie or the good
Girl by mary kubica or the girl before by jp delaney
I Let You Go – Clare Mackintosh
The twist in that book was amazing!
Behind her eyes by Sarah Pinborough
The Good Girl
Ruth Ware has 3 titles out now. In a dark, dark wood, the Woman in Cabin 10 and the Lying Game.
