Firekeeper's Daughter

by Angeline Boulley

4.6/ 5

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.

The Terminal List

by Jack Carr

4.5/ 5

Jack Carr's The Terminal List gives Navy SEAL James Reece the worst homecoming in thriller fiction, his team ambushed abroad and his family murdered the same week, then follows him down the list of powerful people responsible. Written by a former SEAL, it is a revenge thriller whose tradecraft feels loaded rather than researched.

The Hunter's Wife

by Margaret Belle

4.3/ 5

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

If you read book one and wanted the door closed, Belle closes it.

The Silent Patient

by Alex Michaelides

4.2/ 5

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.

Book cover of Yellowface by R. F. Kuang

Included with Kindle Unlimited

Yellowface

by R. F. Kuang

4.2/ 5

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.

Book cover of The Divorce by Freida McFadden

Included with Kindle Unlimited

The Divorce

by Freida McFadden

4.1/ 5

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.

Book cover of Brainstorm by Margaret Belle

Included with Kindle Unlimited

Brainstorm

by Margaret Belle

4.0/ 5

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.

The Housemaid Is Watching

by Freida McFadden

4.0/ 5

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.

Included with Kindle Unlimited

The Wife Between Us

by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

4.0/ 5

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.
