Hi guys 👋🏼
It’s been a little while since I’ve done a book recommendations post so I thought I would do one for you this weekend.
I chose the Thriller genre because 1, its one of my favourite genres to read (for many reasons) but 2, because it is a saturated genre and sometimes overwhelming… so take a look at a few that I have read and would thoroughly recommend, you know to make it easier for you!
These are all books that I have read (of course!) and that I would 100% recommend to people if they asked me.
These are some of the best books I have read and give you that perfect mixture of being gripped and gasping in shock!
Enjoy!
Wrong place, Wrong time by Gillian McCallister
‘It’s late. You’re waiting up for your son.
Then you spot him: he’s with someone. And – you can’t believe what you see – your funny, happy teenage boy stabs this stranger.
You don’t know who. You don’t know why. You only know your son is charged with murder. His future is lost.
That night you fall asleep in despair. But when you wake . . . it is yesterday. The day before the murder.
Somewhere in the past lie the answers – a reason for this crime.
And your only chance to stop it . . .‘
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
‘Alicia Berenson lived a seemingly perfect life until one day six years ago.

It’s time to find out why.‘

How many secrets can one small town hide?‘
The Invisable Girl by Lisa Jewell
‘YOU DON’T SEE HER. BUT SHE SEES YOU.
MIDNIGHT. In the bad part of town, where cats prowl and foxes shriek, a girl is watching…
When Saffyre Maddox was ten, something terrible happened, and she’s carried the pain of it ever since. The man who she thought was going to heal her didn’t, and now she hides and watches him, learning his secrets, invisible in the shadows.
Owen Pick is invisible too. He’s never had a girlfriend; he’s never even had a friend.
Nobody sees him. Nobody cares.
But when Saffyre goes missing from opposite his house on Valentine’s Day, suddenly the whole world is looking at Owen.
Accusing him. Holding him responsible for Saffyre’s disappearance…‘
The Holiday by T M Logan
‘Four women who have been best friends for as long as they can remember – Kate, Rowan, Jennifer and Izzy – making the most of a luxurious villa in the south of France. But Kate has a secret: her husband is having an affair.‘
The Perfect Lie By Jo Spain
‘He jumped to his death in front of witnesses. Now his wife is charged with murder.
Five years ago, Erin Kennedy moved to New York following a family tragedy. She now lives happily with her detective husband in the scenic seaside town of Newport, Long Island. When Erin answers the door to Danny’s police colleagues one morning, it’s the start of an ordinary day. But behind her, Danny walks to the window of their fourth-floor apartment and jumps to his death.
Eighteen months later, Erin is in court, charged with her husband’s murder. Over that year and a half, Erin has learned things about Danny she could never have imagined. She thought he was perfect. She thought their life was perfect.
But it was all built on the perfect lie.‘
Have you read any of these? Have you got any good Thriller recommendations?
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
