When someone tells me a book is the “new Gone Girl,” I think "Oh really?" Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train are still generating a lot of buzz, and when you finish one of these novels, you might be itching to read another that can deliver that same edge-of-your-seat kind of suspense. You know the feeling, when you need to find out what’s going to happen so you’re racing through the book, and when you finally finish, you sit there in shock.

That shock doesn’t last long though,
and now you need a new book to read!

You’ll find a range of plots on this list (after all, it’s impossible to compare titles exactly), but all of these books fall under the category of “psychological suspense.” Some may deal with an unhappy marriage; many are told in the voice of an unreliable narrator. There are clues to uncover, a murderer to catch. The truth is revealed bit by bit, and – here’s the fun part - you realize that things are not as they initially seemed to be.

So cancel your plans, find a comfy reading spot,
and buckle up - you’re in for quite a ride!
