Talking THRILLERS

Friends, I’ve been bitten by the book bug over the last few weeks and while I love books of all kind those thriller, mystery, suspense type novels always top the charts for me. I have a quick little review of some I’ve read lately and then I want to hear your FAVES-if you have to choose just one!

FYI…I’d recommend all five of these books if you like suspense.

The Wife Upstairs

In this 2021 release, we’re introduced to Jane who is a dog walker in a super wealthy neighborhood. Jane meets newly widowed and well-to-do, Eddie Rochester, and as they begin to fall for each other Jane cannot shake the feeling that something isn’t adding up with his wife’s death.

Basically any thriller with “wife” in the title sucks me right in to the storyline but then almost all books with “wife” in the storyline kind of get to be a bit similar. This one reminded me a lot of a B. A. Paris novel. If you’re a fan of Paris, you’ll be a fan of Hawkins.

The Sanitorium

Ooohhhh…imagine the scene an old sanitorium that used to house TB patients who came in for alternative treatments years and years ago turned five-star resort high up in the Swiss Alps. Le Sommet has always been rumored to be eery, but once Elin’s brother invites her up to celebrate his engagement she gets to experience it for herself. A winter storm hits the area and an avalanche causes the guests to be stuck and then they realize someone’s gone missing…

It was unlike anything else I’d read before because of that sanitorium aspect. Loved the setting as well and the storyline sucked me right in. Didn’t want to put it down!

The Look-Alike

The Look-Alike is more of a psychological thriller…years ago Sienna Scott was walking her typical path and minutes before she arrived another girl wearing the exact same coat was murdered. As Sienna returns to her hometown all of that is brought to life and she finds the answers she’s been looking for.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat for all four hundred pages!

One by One

Ruth Ware is well known for her suspenseful novels and One by One didn’t disappoint.

A work group arrive at a luxurious ski chalet in the French Alps for a little work and some relaxation. After a huge storm hits the area the group is stranded in the chalet and One by One…there are murders…

The Guest List

Off the coast of Ireland out on an island a little ferry ride away a magazine publisher is marrying her beloved television star fiancé. Cell service is spotty, the weather becomes a bit rough, and eventually a dead body is found.

From the groom to the wedding planner to the mother of the bride, everyone is a suspect at some point. If you’re a fan of a suspense novel, you need to read it!

Now if you had to choose just ONE suspense/thriller to recommend, what would you suggest? PLEASE SHARE!
