You Need To Add These Psychological Thrillers To Your Reading List, Because They Are Just As Good As Gone Girl And Girl On The Train
Psychological thrillers are some of my favorite reads, and I have a few for you that I think are every bit as good as Gone Girl and Girl On The Train.
I think those are the books by which to judge everything else in the genre, and I definitely try to hunt up titles that are as exciting.
My family and I also made a little book club where we read a lot of these at the same time so we have more things to talk about over FaceTime. Read on for my absolute must-reads!

The Woman In The Window
I read this in three hours this past Sunday it was so good! I will say, it is a bit of a slow burn leading up to everything, but it’s worth it.
The Woman In The Window is about a woman named Anna Fox, who experienced such a tragic event that she hasn’t left her home in New York City in 11 months.
She spends pretty much all of her time spying on what her neighbors are up to, and one night she thinks she witnesses a murder.
This book comes complete with a ton of twists and turns and has you second-guessing if Anna is going crazy or if what she saw was real. Fun fact: this is currently being made into a movie starring Julianne Moore, Amy Adams, and Gary Oldman.
You can get it here on sale right now for $7.98

The Wife Between Us
This book is also about to be turned into a movie! The Wife Between Us is also packed with twists and really highlights how perception is everything.
So you start out thinking it’s a book about jealous ex-wife, Vanessa, whose husband Richard cheated on her. She appears to be obsessed with the younger woman he left her for.
But nothing here is what it seems, and I don’t want to give anything else away…which is really easy to do the more you try to explain this one.
So I’m going to quit while I’m ahead and just say that this is the book for you if you’re into super weird love triangles.
You can get it here for $10.99
In a Dark, Dark Wood
Ok, so I swear I never realized this before…looks like all my top picks are about to be turned into movies! In a Dark, Dark Wood is also more of a slow burn start, but it’s still a good page-turner.
It’s about a woman named Nora who lives in London. She agrees to be part of a bachelorette party that takes place in the middle of the woods, in a completely isolated setting.
Already off to a great start, right? I would just say no to a bachelorette party like that. Anyway, past secrets get brought to light, things get creepy, and then you have a murder.
Then She Was Gone
Then She Was Gone is about a mom named Laurel Mack who is desperately trying to find her daughter Ellie.
Ellie up and vanished 10 years ago, and you spend the whole time reading the book flipping pages as fast as you can to find out what happened to her.
When you finally find out, be warned, it’s very disturbing.
