John Roquemore asked Marie Still:

What are five essential thriller reads for 2022?

Marie Still Ohhh great question. This one always makes my brain short circuit because there are SO many good ones to pick from! I'm going with a mix of old and new.

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, the ending sat with me for months! It's just one of those books that crawls under your skin and stays there—in the best way.

The Maid by Nita Prose was one of my favorite reads last year, and it launched yesterday!

Did I Say You Could Go by Melanie Gideon was another of my favorite reads last year, total whiplash the entire book. I love a well written, unguessable twist, and this one had plenty.

Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica such a wild ride, I recommend it to everyone.

And then I'm going to slide a bit to the horror side of things with two of my favs Diary by Chuck Palahniuk and Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone by Stefan Kiesbye

I cheated and did six, but I'm still proud of myself for narrowing it down. And now I'm going to hit submit and immediately feel the crash of guilt for all the books I left off.
