What is your favourite psychological thriller read and why?
Killing Time by Mark Roberts, @Alexina, because I wrote it and am shamelessly into self promotion lol Double Indemnity by James M Cain great post by yourself
Just reading day of the dead and love them all in this series can’t wait to get the next one
@Kathleen you have made my day best wishes Mark
Misery by Stephen King because I feel so sorry for Paul as he endures what he does, and because Annie Wilkes is one of the best characters ever created. How she hates swearing and yet thinks it’s OK to ‘hobble’ a man’s ankle is genius.
Has to be Into The Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes. It was the first true psychological thriller I read. I was so used to police/detective/ pathologist and mysteries. This book changed my reading tastes.
For anyone else who enjoyed this book I highly recommend Over My Shoulder by @Patricia.
Lightning by Dean Koontz
The Poet by Michael Connelly
I loved The Poet.
Still a big fan of Red Dragon, Thomas Harris. Just edges Silence of the Lambs for my money.
See Jane Run by Joy Fielding – class.
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn. She creates such amazing flawed characters. And I’m always guessing what’s going to come next. She surprises me every time.
I loved this book too. So much in fact that I kept the paperback. I read it about 8 years ago.
At 52 or it might be 53 I struggle to remember my favourite all time one ? but just read Valentina by S E @Susie and it blew me away x
Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin. Scared the bejesus out of me.
Normal because he tried so hard to be normal.
You might enjoy Flowers for the Dead by @Barbara.
@Susan I am going to look it up. Just finished the fourth monkey. Loved it.
Thank you so much, @Susan, for recommending my book. If you give it a go, @Tammy, I hope you enjoy it x
Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes. First psychological thriller I read, way back in 2 012!! It got me out of “chick”lit and interested in Crime and psychological thrillers!?
The Nearest Thing to Crazy by Elizabeth Forbes
Loved it.
@Tammy it rather fine…
The opticians wife and the fourth monkey were great too.
Another favourite is Until You’re Mine by @Samantha
Between You And Me by @Lisa . Because it was the first on that made me think wtf and question everything I thought I had read
??????
So many favourites! Rebecca, by Daphne Du Maurier, is one I’ve read again and again.
Great post
