I’m sure you have heard the hype about Gone Girl by now. My personal opinion is that the book was way, WAY better than the movie. Also, I’ve read quite a lot of other psychological thrillers that I’ve loved even more than Gone Girl. It seems that whenever people describe this genre that Gone Girl is usually the example given. I think it’s time we show all these other amazing books some love! Below is a list of some of my favorite psychological thrillers (in no particular order). Many of these kept me awake at night!

I would suggest one of Mary Kubica’s (3 are listed – all really good!) or one of Liane Moriarty’s (3 listed – all very good too!). You can borrow my copy of Truly, Madly, Guilty if you want to start with that!! 🙂
