Looking for a new book!

Post by Kourtney Bradley »

I want to find something similar to Gone Girl By Gillian Flynn or The Girl on the Train. I love a good thriller book. Any recommendations are appreciated!

You could read Dark Places and Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn.
Don't Breathe a Word and The One I Left Behind both by Jennifer McMahon
Defending Jacob by William Landay
And I don't know if you like classics but Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is a great gothic/romantic/thriller.
Hope you enjoy. :)

Thank you so much!
I actually already read Dark Places and Sharp Objects and loved them both, so you've given great recommendations! I'll have to check out the others! Thanks again!

Do you mean Gone Girl, as in the one that got turned into a movie? Cuz the end of that one sucked. If you ever need a book to pick up, I suggest Libba Bray, S.A.Bodeen, Marissa Meyer. Also if you truly are looking for suspense, your looking for Dean Koontz, in my opinion.

If you are looking for a really good series to dive into, The touch series by Laurie Faria Stolarz is an addicting thriller/romance that'll leave you wanting to read more and more. It is a sort of high school romance which mixes into a bit of a supernatural feel.

If you like thrillers and detective novels with some romance read the Tania Carver series of books. Tania Carver is his pen name -he's actually Martyn Waites. He writes about DI Phil Brennan and Marina Espisito.. The first book is the Surrogate about a killer who targets pregnant women and it's really gruesome but so completely awesome!! I think there is six books so far with a couple more coming. I Highly recommend these..

I suggest The Good Girl by Mary Kubica. It's definitely in that Gone Girl realm and pretty enjoyable.

I've actually read that one, and recently finished Don't You Cry by Mary Kubica, which were both great!

Haha Well, at least I guessed right. Okay here is another go: Find Her by Lisa Gardner. It's really wild and there's some twists. It's supposed to be part of a series, but all of those have stand alone plots with just the same detective.

The Named series by Marianne Curley. I read it years ago and it became one of my favorite sci-fi fantasy books. The genre description doesn't say it's a mystery/slight thriller but I'm pretty sure I remember it being so.
