Best Thrillers of the Past 10 Years 🔪 Goodreads vs Me

I think this one has a couple who are recently divorced... both of the couple's marriage secrets are going to be exposed.

was another four-star... if she doesn't solve it, she's going to be accused of being the one who did it.

I also to All These Beautiful Things on my list... It reveals the truth about her family.

I'm not interested in this type of story now, but it worked for what it is... I also did end up putting this on my list.

I remember nothing about that one except for the twist... the twist is yeah, worth it for me.

I loved at the time.

I have Come Find Me which is definitely a questionable one... I just remember loving the relationship between these two teens...

I love it and I don't know why people don't love it... I was adamant that this was a thriller of the year when I read it.

is on my list... One of them vanishes in the night when they're teenagers and then one returns 3 years later...

I loved this so much... after reading that I was looking for something equally as fun and silly... this one definitely delivered.

is good. Definitely put Riley Sager on the map for a lot of people.

Obviously, it's my number one, love of my life... It's like this quirky mother author accidental murder book.

I usually just hate a spy stolen identity sneaky kind of story so that one was never going to work for me.

there's a teacher who thinks he's teaching his students a lesson, but he's really like traumatizing, maybe killing them.

loved.

Love seeing The Guest List here, also on my list. it was just so fun.

I give that one four stars. It didn't quite make my list.

I wouldn't recommend this much cuz people really don't like this one, but... I really liked it.

I'm still going to stand by because I haven't read too many thriller romances that I've really liked, and I think this one was good and I remember being like twisty.

I've read, do not agree with that one.

love. that's another one me and Goodreads agree on... great setup.

of course I would have never expected on this list because so many people hate it... A woman moves into a lake house...

This is a slower-moving drama thriller... everyone basically wants her to be miserable.

This is like a campy thriller horror... It's a ridiculous fun night of survival after someone gets killed at a dating event.

has a really intriguing setup... I would probably like reread it and be shocked by all of the twists all over again.

This is about a group of siblings... There's like secrets that everyone has about a death that happened at the summer camp...

I am adding in addition to the other ones... There's like seven Shakespeare actors in college and it's their messy tale.

It's like my perfect friend group reunion story... somebody has brought them together to tell the truth.

I went into this really liking it, and then if I didn't predict the big reveal of it, it would have been, you know, a four-star, five-star potentially. I recommend it for sure.

I gave it three stars. It's just an assassin organization was probably never going to be for me.

There's this woman living really remotely and she writes a negative book review. The author responds and suddenly she is terrified for her life.

I've read I give it three stars. I agree that it should be here as a recommendation... I co-sign this as a recommendation.

made my list... the truths are unburied.

I remember just feeling so claustrophobic. This is my favorite Riley Sager.

is the perfect domestic thriller... It was really unexpected where the story went and I had a lot of fun with it.

This one has two different timelines. A woman inherits her father's property...

is a mystery for sure, but it's more like general fiction... Four stars for me.

I thought was good.

I recently read Murder in the Family... It sounds generic, but it was written really well.

I thought it was so interesting. It's like rich couple have a couple kids and then they murder people together...

love to see here. surely it's more like literary, but there are killings in it.

This is a suspense and it's like what would this woman do to save her children?... It's kind of like Panic Room.

is just an adrenaline rush. It's fast-paced, takes place at a truck stop where a woman finds a kidnapped child.

I hated two of these seven, None of This is True and The Quiet Tenant.

did make my list... It was really well written. Not exactly what you'd expect.

is this slow, weird, like really worth the wait, intricate kind of story...

I liked.

I give it a two even though it's important, you know, topics... Not really my style.

I gave three stars. This couple goes to stay in this isolated cabin...

was whatever.

I don't like as much as most people do... this was not the one from her that I enjoyed.

I put six stories. This is the only five-star mystery I had from 2016.

I feel like doesn't really fit that well because it's more just fiction... Very campy.

is on my list, but Shari Lapena. All her books kind of look the same, but this one I remember the plot.

I read recently, so I know I still like it... they have to agree what to do with it.

I think is really uninteresting.

this one is the murder of a couple... the truths of that one night get revealed.

Then The Appeal is a series of documents... dangerous things happening all come to light.

is not very good.

is interesting. It's fast-paced concept... Four stars. Not on my list.

I just went with The Chalk Man. There's like this childhood game...

I also put on my list. This was I think my first Shari Lapena...

I don't know how this isn't on their list. I think this is a really solid one.

terrible.

I didn't.

I really liked it, it did make my list and I gave it a four.

The Good Daughter is about sisters... I'm sure it's connected in some way.

I liked more than most people seem to so

The last one is very good... it's kind of a wackadoodle fun time.

was boring.

was a Literary Dead Book Club pick set where I live, so that was a fun read.

I stand by so much... I think it's because the actual reveal is one that I haven't seen done before.

I only give it a three but the first half of it was so good. The second half of it was just a little bit boring

absolutely stand by. This is a really good podcasty book... It's kind of simple, but super well written.

I loved The Only One Left. It's like this old woman accused of killing her family... It's really gothic and good.

I thought it was just okay.

I gave that like one star. I thought it was trash. It was boring. Really hated it.

I hated two of these seven, None of This is True and The Quiet Tenant.

It wasn't perfect, it was a four, but it was pretty damn good.

I gave it a three. I think it's overhyped, but the twist can definitely work for many people.

I gave it four stars. It's a podcast couple who goes missing. There were no shocks in it, which would have made it a five-star for me.

It was really moody.

I thought it was so boring. I didn't like the writing and I didn't like the humor. I was so like zoned out reading this that I called it a DNF even though I did technically read it.

The Trees is a satirical fiction mystery... Funny. So much like what the [ __ ] is actually happening.

a five-star favorite. I think yeah, my favorite Ruth Ware to date.

is so overhyped to me.

I chose The Wife Before. It's this whirlwind relationship... she uncovers a secret journal...

I've read The Woman in Cabin 10... It has a trope I really hated, so that's maybe a reason I didn't like it.

I also put The Darkest Secret on mine... there's a child who goes missing during a house party...

was good.

I read The Girl in 6E years ago and liked it and I've always thought about reading more from her.

is an adrenaline rush thriller. The this group of co-workers is on a river rafting journey and bad things keep happening.

My favorite from 2018... Just know it's a fun one, I think.

is like a tolerable Lisa Jewell for me.

super good. Professor and a student both on a path of revenge against the bad men at their school.

this one is definitely a crowd-pleaser... It's on my list. it's a cozy mystery, hilarious protagonist.

Verity is crazy the way people love that book. Like I don't get it personally... I cannot agree.

I don't stand by, I don't recommend, but I loved it. I gave it five stars.

this one highlights gentrification... her experience a lot of like paranoia and fear about people disappearing in the neighborhood.

I started, it's about child abuse. I abandoned that one.

It was fine, three stars... Just not really to my taste.

I put With Malice and The Telling. Those are both YA books that I think probably don't hold up.

The Riley Sager and The Woman in the Window are good, they just didn't make my list.

it's my perfect thriller... It's my only five-star from 2023.

was a four for me. A little speculative.

it was really fun... we're just gathering all of these clues and it was really fun.
