9 Thrillers I Remember

You are what you read

I (often) cannot remember the thrillers I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me (escape). - Me

That said, here are nine thrillers I remember from the last year:

The Last Word by Taylor Adams

The absolute nightmare of being online!! Emma writes a negative book review and ends up with a psychopath stalker author on her heels.

That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally

Two points of view. Two timelines. One teenage girl who wakes up, bruised and damaged, with no idea who she is. I guessed this one, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying it.

First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston

The thriller of the summer? Evie is a conwoman who is being conned by her own boss. And also maybe developing feelings for her latest mark?

Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll

An incisive takedown of the myth of Ted Bundy. It always was and forever will be the bright young women he murdered who are the interesting ones.

The Family Game by Catherine Steadman

Harriet is marrying into an upper-crest family with major secrets…if she can survive their deadly games. 

City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong

Pitched to me as Riverdale, but with adults and without magic. This one has murder mystery, romance, and a town in the middle of nowhere for people who need to escape their lives.

Stone Cold Fox by Rachel Koller Croft

Bea is a conwoman who decides to go straight and marry a hyper-boring, hyper-wealthy man. Unfortunately, her fiancee’s best friend is on to her game…

Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera

When a podcast comes to town and drudges up the past, Lucy finally has to confront the worst night of her life. The night she may have killed her best friend? She can’t remember.

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

Millie is an enigmatic housemaid who soon finds her wealthy employers are not what they seem. Dun, dun, DUN!

Have you read any great thrillers lately?
