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.

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.

Margaret Belle wraps up the story of identical twins Melanie and Madison Allen in The Hunter's Wife, the sequel to THE PROCEDURE.

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.

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.

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.
