The River at Night by Erica Ferencik

Girl on the Train was fantastic! I thought it was even better than Gone Girl. The movie is also good, but there were some inconsistencies from the book that bothered me a bit.

I’ve also read a few books by B.A. Paris, which were all enjoyable.

The Broken Girls by Simone St. James is wonderful. The focal point of the novel is an old boarding school for girls who were unwanted/no place to go/considered a hassle. It goes back and forth between a group of girls that lived there in the 1950s and a journalist in the 2000s after the school has been closed trying to find evidence of who killed her sister on the property. It’s a great book with really good characters.

I recently read The 4MK series by J.D. Barker and I could not recommend this more highly. It's a crime procedural at its most base elements, with a team of crime solvers, but this particular crime is a sociopathic, genius serial killer who just fucks with everything. The third book is absolutely off the rails.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is great.

First Lie Wins, The Plot, None of This is True 

They’re interesting and mysterious and realistic, if that makes sense 

The still house lake series!

I liked “Look Closer” by David Ellis

Riley Sager the only one left

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang is not your typical thriller with much physical action, but it always keeps you on the edge. And yeah, the main girl is a morally complex character.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Keigo Higashino. Gillian Flynn.

Rock paper scissors

AGGGTM, Truly devious series, The kind worth killing, The Thursday murder club for crime thrillers. Confessions by kanae minato, I let you go by Clare Mackintosh, any Gillian Flynn book for dark psychological thriller.

Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane.

The Final Girls by Riley Sager

Gone Girl or anything by the same author

The Silent Patient

The Last Mrs Parrish

I like psychological thrillers. Not my main genre but I like to mix it in every once in a while to keep me on my toes. good luck hope you enjoy

RED DRAGON by Thomas Harris.

Brianna Labuskes “a familiar sight” (3 books I think) features a psychologist that sees children who have experienced serious trauma.

Jennifer Hillier “Creep” series (2 books) is about a psychology professor.

AR Torre “the good lie” features a psychiatrist as a main character who treats patients that have violent/dangerous/obsessive thoughts.

I really liked all of these books.

Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series (there are a LOT of them). It features a psychologist who works with an LAPD detective to solve crimes. Kellerman is a clinical psychologist, so he writes a lot about the psych aspects of each case.

All Is Not Forgotten, by Wendy Walker. The narrator is a psychiatrist who is treating the teenage victim of a brutal assault who has (under her parents’ direction) taken a drug that erases her memory of the attack. She’s still dealing with the emotional trauma, though, so this is where the psychiatrist comes in. There is a lot of neuroscience involved, if that interests you.

Lucinda Berry, she’s a former psychologist turned author. I love most of her books:

Appetite for Innocence One of Our Own Phantom Limb Saving Noah

Lucinda Berry is a clinical psychologist and all of her books are excellent examples of various psychiatric conditions. They are also really fast-paced and twisty.

I've heard someone call them crack books because they're pretty addictive. They're right.

Mystic River by Dennis Lehane

Gone Baby Gone by Dennis Lehane

The silent places, by Skyla Dawn Cameron

Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Actually, her earlier novels might work for you too.

Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal by Thomas Harris are exquisite, but may have a bit more horror/violence than you're after.

I'll also suggest The Secret History by Donna Tartt which doesn't have twists per se, but which still builds up a great amount of tension.

Happy reading!

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

All of Liane Moriarty books. They generally aren’t terrifying, just sort of uneasy

I'd check out The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn or The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.

Gone Girl (and everything else by Gillian Flynn)

Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

Never Lie by Freida McFadden

Misery by Stephen King

None of This is True by Lisa Jewell

The Only One Left by Riley Sager

The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose

I would say this is a horror/thriller, but Mister Magic by Kiersten White

​

edit to add because I just finished it: Want to Know a Secret? by Freida McFadden

Anything by Ruth Ware

Maybe more of a psychological suspense than a psychological thriller, but I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid. Put me into an awful, 3-month book hangover afterward… ruined my reading goal for the year lol

Psych thriller? Rebecca, Daphne duMaurier…a must…😬.

Don't see much about Dean Koontz in this stream, but easily amongst the best author of psychological thrillers. Books usually have just a hint of supernatural or horror (nowhere near Stephen King level), but any of his books will keep you turning page after page way into the night. Good place to start is Intensity, about a girl who is kidnapped and tries to escape.

First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
