Vices: Whether it’s drinking a truck load of coffee each day or watching The Bold And The Beautiful every afternoon, we’ve all got ’em. One of mine happens to be reading, and my favourite genre is suspense thrillers.
It all began with Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo, then I moved onto Dan Brown and Tana French, and before I knew it was I rapidly inhaling any book that promised to make the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.
So, unsurprisingly, Gone Girl and The Girl On The Train are two of my favourite books. If you’re on the same page, then you’re sure to love these novels ahead.

The Girl Before
I had high expectations for J.P. Delaney’s thriller The Girl Before because I heard Ron Howard is set to direct the movie adaptation. Thankfully, it doesn’t disappoint. The story involves a traumatised woman who falls in love with a minimalist house and the man who designed it — only to discover that another woman died at the house three years earlier.

My colleague, Emma recommended this book and I’m so glad she did. This psychological thriller totally freaked me out—in a good way!

Yet, there is no evidence that anyone has been inside.
