Cindy Price asked Vicki Pettersson:

I'd love to read more novels like Swerve! I haven't read your other works, but I am not typically a Romance (novel) lover. I love twisty, psychological thrillers, and Swerve hit the nail on the head! It would be a wonderful movie as well. :) Are you planning on other books in the thriller genre?

Vicki Pettersson Hi Cindy--first, BIG apologies for the v. belated reply. I haven't checked in on GR in a while. Second, thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed SWERVE so much. I have the usual recommendations such as Dean Koontz (INTENSITY is v. close in tone to SWERVE--or vice versa, as his came first!) and Stephen King (his short stories are masterful as well!). For voice, DEAR DAUGHTER and LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE are, like, second generation GONE GIRL. Really great reads. Dennis Lehane's Kenzie/Genaro series starting with A DRINK BEFORE THE WAR is mystery rather than psych thriller, but super gritty and dark. Plus, I love the protag. Does that help at all? If you come across something you really love, please let me know! I'm always looking for good, twisty new reads! Best to you!
