I don’t read this genre very often so I don’t have any recommendations but go off.

Darling - this is less scary than traditional thrillers but it's a good one for anyone who wants to step their toes into this genre!

The Silent Patient!!!

anything by natasha preston!

I read more mysteries than thrillers but a good girls guide to murder is a pretty awesome mystery/ thriller.

The book You is a must read! The Tv show on Netflix is based off of it and it’s definitely one of my favorite books of all time

This Heart of Mine by C.C. Hunter

anything by katie alender is AMAZING

And then there were none

The One

I just started reading thrillers this year and I really enjoyed The Wife Upstairs! It's a retelling of Jane Eyre in a modern setting and right off the bat it was unsettling (but in a good way, it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time), fast-paced, and it definitely helps that the chapters are short so it keeps you wanting to read more.

I'll probably write a review on it soon since I'm going through and slowly adding reviews for the books I read this year too so I'll probably post the review in the Reviews thread when I finish it!

Hello, I really want to get into this genre and I’ve read some good ones before. But It’s been too long and I’m too afraid to read one now because it’s often -
Too long and descriptive
Difficult to read
80% personal drama
Too Slow paced
Too predictive

I will be really grateful if someone can recommend something for a beginner reader and preferably a short-medium read.

Murder at Hatteras is a mystery/thriller set in the outer banks and is one of the first books I've read to give me the heebee-jeebies! It does mention (view spoiler)[ rape (hide spoiler)] just to warn yall! And it also involves religion but I wouldn't classify it as a religious book if that makes sense!

Ace Of Spades is a great YA thriller. For adult, An Anonymous Girl was amazing

Verity, best thriller I’ve ever read

The Corpse Queen by Heather Herrman

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is mystery-thriller enjoyed it so much ✨ and probably Lovesickness by Junji Ito and his other works but it is more of a horror though
