SilversReviews Nice collage. 7y

Jess7 🤗🤗 I liked Reconstructing Amelia, Girl on the Train, and The Good Girl. Have you read Holly Brown before? I liked this one by her:

Don't Try To Find Me: A Novel

mrp27 @Jess7 I'm not familiar with her. I'm going to have to check her out, thanks for the recommendation! 7y

mrp27 @SilversReviews Thanks! 7y

Jess7 You‘re welcome... Based on your selection of Kimberly McCreight which is a little lesser known than the others, I have some more recommendations... I‘ll put them in the comments 7y

Dangerous Girls

Jess7 I read Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas and haven‘t read this one yet, but I bet it‘s good too:

Dangerous Boys

mrp27 Ohhh thanks!! 7y

Jess7 Holly Brown - she wrote others, but I‘ve only read this one. I couldn‘t get into Necessary lies

Don't Try To Find Me: A Novel

Jess7 I love Kimberly McCreight - not just reconstructing Amelia but also this one. I still need to read The Outliers and The Scattering

Where They Found Her

Jess7 This was pretty good, not my favorite but good. Calia Reed also wrote a sequel (ish) Called Unhinge.

Unravel: A Novel

Jess7 I‘m sure you have read Megan Miranda. I liked this one better than All the Missing Girls... I havent read The Safest Lies yet, but it was my #whodunitbymail pick and everyone who read it for that, loved it.

Perfect Stranger

Jess7 I like all of the Mary Kubica books I have read (which is all but Every Last Lie (I still need to read it) 7y

Jess7 Highly recommend Clare Mackintosh. I loved this one... and I‘m currently reading her newest one - Let Me Lie. I still need to read I See You

I Let You Go

Jess7 This one by Kate Moretti was ok... worth reading but not my favorite:

Vanishing Year

(edited) 7y

Jess7 I love Kate Morton! The writing is simply beautiful. I loved

The Lake House

Jess7 Of course I loved all the ones by Gillian Flynn, but this was my favorite of them:

Sharp Objects: A Novel

mrp27 Mackintosh is on my tbr! 7y

Jess7 I like BA Paris too, I liked this one a lot:

The Breakdown: A Novel

Jess7 Bump her up! She is super suspenseful! 7y

Jess7 Liane Moriarty is hit or miss for me. I loved The Husband‘s Secret and my favorite is this one... but I did not like What Alice Forgot or Truly Madly Guilty

Big Little Lies

Jess7 I‘ve heard good things about this one by Liz Nugent, but haven‘t read it yet

Lying in Wait

mrp27 @Jess7 I've read Morton and Flynn too, Sharp Objects is the one I haven't read yet. 7y

Jess7 This one started out ok, just haven‘t finished it yet -

One Of Us Is Lying

Jess7 sharp objects is the shortest, darkest (the main character is a cutter, but not dark with rape/torture or anything like that, which I cannot handle).. 7y

mrp27 @Jess7 I've read Morton and Flynn, Sharp Objects the only one I haven't read. So many books so little time! But I do love a good suspense. 7y

Jess7 This one is very good

Kind Worth Killing

Jess7 This one is good too by William Landay - it explores what you would do for your children and what you wouldn‘t

Defending Jacob: A Novel

Jess7 True crime - I highly recommend Helter Skelter (Manson case) , The Devil‘s Knot (West Memphis three case), Waiting to be heard (Amanda Knox case), Without a Doubt (Oj Simpson)... and this classic by Truman Capote:

In Cold Blood

Jess7 I read this one last year and wow!!! I loved it. I cant wait to read more by Lisa Lutz! It was very suspenseful:

The Passenger

mrp27 @jess7 sorry for the double post a little glitch. Yes, I'm a bit of a chicken and my trigger is rape so some titles can be tricky. One of us lying is ion my tbr too and BA Paris. 7y

Jess7 Ruth Ware is hit or miss. I didn‘t like In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Lying Game was just ok, but I did like this one (even though parts of it were outlandish):

The Woman in Cabin 10

Jess7 Don‘t read this one is rape is your trigger - I had to back away from reading psychological thrillers for a month after it - it‘s well written but entirely too graphic about rape/torture - it was unnecessarily graphic and that took too much away from the riveting plot line making it a pan for me:

Pretty Girls: A Novel

Jess7 I loved Girl on a Train by Paula Hawkins, but thought her second book was just ok— too many characters:

Into The Water

Jess7 I loved this Amy Gentry Book. I was very impressed with this debt novel:

Good as Gone

Jess7 I also liked this Gilly Macmillan‘s Book... but I haven‘t read her other two yet.

The Perfect Girl

Jess7 This was just ok - mostly because the real true crime book by Amanda Knox (Waiting to Be Heard is sooooo much better and this fiction novel inspired by it, doesn‘t live up) but it was ok -

Cartwheel: A Novel

Jess7 I liked this one bc it was fast paced, but parts were just so so

The Wife Between Us

Jess7 This one was a quick read and the main character Anna Fox drove me nuts but I did tear through it. I found it very predictable though

The Woman in the Window

Jess7 I‘ve heard good things about this one too

The River at Night

Jess7 I liked this one - but it got mixed reviews. The main character is very unlikeable

Luckiest Girl Alive: A Novel

mrp27 I have Defending Jacob on my nook, I've heard great reviews on that one Wife Between Us is on my list and I don't do much if any at all true crime but if I had to read just one, what would you suggest? 7y

RadicalReader @mrp27 cannot wait to read Watching Edie picked it up from the library cannot wait to check it out 7y

mrp27 @RadicalReader I hope you enjoy it! 7y
