Spring Into Psychological Suspense

Instead of spring cleaning during my time at home, I have been spring reading! Psychological suspense is my favorite genre, so I thought I’d share some good ones that are relatively new releases. The best part is that they are all available in e-book and e-audio formats.

Dead

Dead to Her by Sarah Pinborough

 

Sex, lies and jealousy sum up the latest suspense novel by Sarah Pinborough. This domestic drama revolves around two women, who happen to both be second wives to their wealthy husbands, and their new “complicated” friendship.          

 

 

 

     

 
Swanson delivers another twisty suspense thriller with Eight Perfect Murders. A book shop owner finds himself caught up in an investigation surrounding several suspicious murders, which are all strangely connected to a book list he blogged called "Eight Perfect Murders". This book pays homage to the mystery genre, with many references to great mystery authors.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If you are a fan of You, the widely popular novel by Caroline Hepnes, you'll love Follow Me, which centers around an Instagram influencer who is being terrorized by a creepy stalker, but with so many men in her orbit, how could she figure out which one of them it is?

Don't forget to "return" your e-books when you're done—the sooner you return them, the sooner someone else can use them.
