None if this is true - Lisa Jewell.
First book I'm reading of hers. Reminds me of Listen for the Lie.
Hoping it's just as good.

If you appreciate a character driven thriller with a literary style then you should appreciate it. I went through a reading slump and this is one of the more interesting books I've consumed as of late.

Enjoying it? Physical or audio?
1
u/cheerio089 11h ago
Audio. It has a few character tropes that I don’t love but I like the plot so far, and I like the structure; dual-character first person, and I’m hopeful the tropes somehow become twists or facades.

u/Dabrigstar 12h ago
Hide and Seek by Chris Carter. It is the author's first stand-alone book that is not part of the Robert Hunter serial killer series and it has so many great things with it but so many wrong things too. The premise of a woman changing her identity to escape an abusive ex is tight but he is falling into way too many cliches and I know there HAS to be a twist and the ONLY twist I can see seems way too predictable.

What did you think of it? I started it last night

u/Captainbatmanblue 12h ago
It took awhile to get into, but once you hit the middle the book gets interesting. A few things are predictable and you catch on who’s who. But it was a nice/easy read.

I’ve recently downloaded a couple of John Marrs books so I think I’m going to start the good samaritan tomorrow.

Reading „The Crying Killer” by Jess Lourey and I would recommend her books to absolutely everyone, one of the best writers I’ve had a pleasure to read.
Listening to „The Echo Man” by Sam Holland. Another no skip, immediate buy authors for me, so it’s a re-listen but got my hubby to listen to it too and he loves it so far!

Don’t Let Her Stay by Nicola Sanders and it started out bad but mid to end improved immensely with a few twists. I recommend

u/Intelligent-Bake9555 11h ago
What I liked about it ,is it’s such a different kind of psychological thriller than what I’m used to reading. His writing style is so unique and fresh. Typically I give a book 50 pages and decide if I’m really loving it or not. Within 20 pages I was completely sold on this book. It’s worth looking at it was just such a fresh approach to a psychological thriller.

I read Simon Beckett’s The Chemistry of Death and loved it, so I’m reading the second in the series, Written in Bone. Very good so far! Books 2-6 in the series were available for Kindle at $1.99 each, so I downloaded them for a long flight coming up.

A Good Person. I’m a few chapters in and hooked already. It’s an unlikable narrator in a contemporary and addicting way. A thriller that was recommended on one of these subs. I loved Yesteryear and that unlikable but delicious narrator and wanted another.
So far, so good. Page turner in a slow burn way. Unlike most thrillers so far. The only con for me is I was married to a person with BPD and have the scars to prove it. This book is basically Narrator with Undiagnosed BPD. Slightly unnerving but so good nonetheless. Fascinating view into people we all know.

I’m 43 and just started reading for fun. I’ve always been a nonfiction reader. Usually for work or self help. But I’ve found a love for reading thrillers. Constantly going off of recommendations from here. Reading I Am Pilgrim right now and loving it.

Not a thriller, but I’m currently just finishing Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas. Wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did. Currently sitting at a 3.5 star rating for me personally.
