If you like creepy psychological thrillers Chelsea Cain’s Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell series is the best. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/657034.Heartsick?from_search=true

Considering I just read my first thriller, I’m no where near an expert in this genre, but I just finished In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware and it was pretty good. I read it fairly quickly and I normally take my sweet time reading through books. ?
Then there were none by Agatha Christie is good!
Liked this one a lot
Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris
I second that!
Bonnie McGee yes! Great book I couldn’t put down!
Eeny Meeny by M.J. Arlidge
