LITTLE VOICES by Vanessa Lillie - RealSimple "35 Chilling Psychological Thrillers and Mysteries to Add To Your Reading List Now"

RealSimple | November 8, 2019

“The best psychological thrillers and mysteries are a lot like movies: They keep you hooked from the moment you press play up until the final credits roll, with plenty of shocking twists and unexpected turns along the way. It's no wonder that many of them end up getting scooped up for film and TV adaptations by Hollywood.

For a few years now, readers have been living in something of a golden age for psychological thrillers, mysteries, crime novels, and other suspenseful reads, thanks in large part to hugely successful novels—and their film and TV adaptations—like Gone Girl and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, both of which spawned a thousand copycats with "girl" in the title. The publishing world has largely moved on from "girl" books (hilariously, now we see a lot of "women" books), but what hasn't changed is the sheer amount of surprising, shocking psychological thrillers and mysteries being published every season.

If you're addicted to shows like HBO's Sharp Objects (based on the novel by Gillian Flynn and starring Amy Adams) and can't read enough psychological thrillers like The Girl on the Train, by Paula Hawkins (which was made into a film starring Emily Blunt), check out our list of some of the best recent psychological thrillers and crime novels, along with a few classics you might have missed.”
