A Noise Downstairs by Linwood Barclay, some of his other books are also great, some are psychological thrillers some aren’t. The Promise Falls Trilogy is my absolute favorite and Trust Your Eyes is what got me hooked on reading his work!
@Leslie yes! It is his most recently released novel. I highly recommend it, I read it in about 2 days. The Promise Falls trilogy has 4 books and a novella (Final Assignment). I read the first 3 books in about 5 days. I am about to read the last book, and the novella I read in a very short amount of time in one day. All of his books are good, though, those are just my favorites. His writing sucks you in and I haven’t read a book of his that I didn’t like.
@Nikky I think it does. I also liked it from the get go though so it may not be a good book for you. I’m a big believer in not wasting time on books that bore me Soo…lol. Maybe read 2 more? If you still hate it then be done lol
This question is perfect for me to answer! The death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware, any mo Hayder book but especially the Devil of Nanking. If you can tolerate a bit of horror try hex by Thomas Olde heuveldt and the outsider by Stephen king. All of Gillian Flynn’s books. Sharon (also goes by S.J.) Bolton’s books especially her first 3 books: sacrifice, awakening, and blood harvest. Also her books daisy in chains and little black lies. Odd Thomas series by Dean koontz. A Noise Downstairs by Linwood Barclay. The last time I lied and final girls by Riley Sager. Joyland by Stephen King. The Storm King by Brendan Duffy. All of the books by Wendy Webb.
My question is this…Why set a limit of how many books you read per year? And why stress over not meeting the quota you set for yourself? I read for me when I can and don’t worry about how many I read a year. I personally think this idea is silly. It should be about your move of reading and not about some silly quota you set for yourself.
The Obsession by Nora Roberts was really good. If you don’t mind YA, Kara Thomas has 3 and they great and fast paced. The Darkest Corners, Little Monsters, and The Cheerleaders.
I struggle with knowing for sure what is a Psychological Thriller and what is just a plain Thriller.. so here are some Thrillers I’ve read this year that I enjoyed and some should fall into what you’re looking for. 🙂
•The Anomaly by Michael Rutger (read in one night) •Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell (read in 2 days) •The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn •Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear •Cross Her Heart by Sarah Pinborough (read in 2 days) •Bird Box by Josh Malerman •The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager •The Broken Girls by Simone St. James •The Good Samaritan by John Marrs •Our Kind of Cruelty by Araminta Hall (read in one night) •The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor (read in 2 days)

A Noise Downstairs by Linwood Barclay, some of his other books are also great, some are psychological thrillers some aren’t. The Promise Falls Trilogy is my absolute favorite and Trust Your Eyes is what got me hooked on reading his work!
@Kensley every one on this site recommends him
He must be really good. Is A Noise Downstairs a good one to start with?
@Leslie yes! It is his most recently released novel. I highly recommend it, I read it in about 2 days. The Promise Falls trilogy has 4 books and a novella (Final Assignment). I read the first 3 books in about 5 days. I am about to read the last book, and the novella I read in a very short amount of time in one day. All of his books are good, though, those are just my favorites. His writing sucks you in and I haven’t read a book of his that I didn’t like.
@Kensley Thank you so much
I’ve read all of his books, just finished A Noise Downstairs and loved it. He’s one of my favorite authors.

@Nikky I think it does. I also liked it from the get go though so it may not be a good book for you. I’m a big believer in not wasting time on books that bore me Soo…lol. Maybe read 2 more? If you still hate it then be done lol
Good idea lol I’ll do that and see what happens ?
Oh, and The Chalkman. It’s a short, quick read with good twists

Shutter Island, but it’s not fast.
The Doll’s House by MJ Arlidge
25? Oh my. You have your work cut out for you. I really liked Shutter Island by Dennis LeHane.
I lLoved The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson. So unpredictable and just finished it last week, and immediately ordered all other Swanson novels
@Donna, I loved this book. I’ve recommended it several times.
The Obsession by Nora Roberts was really good. If you don’t mind YA, Kara Thomas has 3 and they great and fast paced. The Darkest Corners, Little Monsters, and The Cheerleaders.
25 in 6 weeks? What’s the rush?
4 a week. Doable but I feel like it’s a rush for those types of books. I usually have to take a break with a fluff read after a dark read.
@Debra m, I get that. I also have to alternate light and dark.
Why?
Why read 25 ?
@Mocha book clubs and there are 5 different ones
Does that take the fun out of reading when it is competitive or like a task , rather than a pass time of pleasure
