by Colleen Hoover
A struggling writer takes a job finishing a bestselling author's series and finds the woman's unfinished, unsent confession in a locked office. Colleen Hoover's Verity is a marriage thriller that asks how much of a monster you can forgive once you start falling for her husband.

by Angeline Boulley
Angeline Boulley's debut Firekeeper's Daughter is a YA crime thriller anchored in an Ojibwe community on Sugar Island, following eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine as she's pulled into an FBI investigation of a deadly new drug. What hooked me: she cracks the case using chemistry and traditional Ojibwe medicine, which makes the detective work feel like nobody else's.

Newlyweds house-hunting in a remote manor get snowed in with a dead psychiatrist's secret cassette archive of patient sessions, and Freida McFadden turns each tape into a countdown toward the doctor's own disappearance, in this locked-house thriller.

by Freida McFadden
Freida McFadden's The Housemaid puts a live-in maid inside a picture-perfect suburban house where the wife is cruel, the husband is wounded, and every room hides a different lie. It's a fast, mean psychological thriller built for readers who want to be wrong about everyone twice before the truth lands.

by Margaret Belle
Margaret Belle's The Jigsaw Priest is a contemplative religious mystery built on the weight of the confessional seal. As aging Father John Doyle absorbs fragments of a chilling story from his parishioners, the tension comes less from a chase than from a man caught between sacred duty and the human urge to intervene.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by B.A. Paris
B.A. Paris's debut sits you inside the head of Grace Angel, whose husband is charming, wealthy, admired by everyone who meets him, and keeps metal shutters on all the downstairs windows. Behind Closed Doors runs on dread rather than violence, and its countdown gets genuinely hard to sit through.

by Freida McFadden
Freida McFadden turns an advice columnist into a woman done giving advice in Dear Debbie, a dark-comedy revenge thriller about a wife and mother who decides other people's consequences are finally due. It's a mean, funny, fast psychological thriller for readers who want their catharsis served cold.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by Margaret Belle
Margaret Belle wraps up the story of identical twins Melanie and Madison Allen in The Hunter's Wife, the sequel to THE PROCEDURE. It's a brisk thriller about two sisters whose existence makes them prey, and about the family that gives them something worth losing. If you read book one and wanted the door closed, Belle closes it.

by Alex Michaelides
Alex Michaelides's debut runs on one irresistible hook: a woman shoots her husband five times and then never speaks again. The Silent Patient follows the therapist who can't stop trying to crack that silence. It's a twist-engineered thriller, fast and clever, with an ending readers either love or see coming a mile off.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by R. F. Kuang
R.F. Kuang's Yellowface is a sharp, queasy thriller about a white novelist who steals a dead friend's manuscript and rides it to literary stardom. Narrated by a woman who can rationalize plagiarism, fraud, and grave-robbing of another writer's grief without ever once seeing herself as the villain, it's a satire of publishing's diversity theater that doubles as a study in self-justification.

by Sarah Pinborough
A single mom falls for her new boss and befriends his wife without realizing either relationship is what it looks like, in Sarah Pinborough's psychological thriller built around one of the genre's most argued-about endings.

by Freida McFadden
Freida McFadden's The Divorce takes a woman scorned and lets her curdle, slowly, into something dangerous. Naomi loses the house, the husband, the whole storybook life she built. Then she skips grief entirely and starts watching the new girlfriend. A domestic thriller about obsession that keeps tightening the noose around its own narrator until quitting costs more than continuing.

by Margaret Belle

by Margaret Belle
Margaret Belle's Brainstorm runs its suspense through an anxious witness: Audrey Dory, who could identify a bank robber from a decade ago but never spoke up, and whose returning panic disorder now muddies every choice she makes. If you like a thriller where the heroine's own judgment is the wild card, this one's worth a look.

by Freida McFadden
Millie Calloway is a decade past the Winchester house now, married with two kids on a Long Island cul-de-sac, when the neighbors start behaving strangely. Freida McFadden's third Housemaid thriller runs on three-page chapters, a mid-book perspective flip, and a final turn that closes the series arc.

by Alex Michaelides
Alex Michaelides's The Maidens follows a grief-stricken group therapist convinced a Cambridge classics professor is murdering members of his secret society of female students, one Greek myth at a time, even though everyone else insists he's untouchable.

by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen hand you a jealous ex-wife, a younger fiancee, and a wealthy man three weeks out from his second wedding, then demonstrate that you assembled the story wrong.
