Top 10 thrillers I read in 2023

It’s nearly the end of the year! This year, I am going to take each genre and list out my favorite books of that genre. By the end of the year, I am going to tell you about my favorite books of the year but let’s just divide them into genres so I can tell you my favorite books of each genre.

I will also be doing a blog post on top 5 worst books of the year I have read as well.

Thriller or psychological thriller is actually my favorite genre of all time. This list includes both ARC books I have read as well as the other books I read.

So let’s start with the list!

  1. The Housemaid – Frieda McFadden

This is my all time favorite thriller! This kept me at the edge of my seat and the ending really had me blown away! The second book of the housemaid series wasn’t as good as this one but this is one of my favorite books of the year!

2. All Good People Here – Ashley Flowers

This was actually good in my opinion although the ending was a bit vague but I enjoyed it over all. Not really the top books of the year I read but definitely one of the top thrillers I have read.

3. Good Girl Bad Blood – Holly Jackson

I loved Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and I equally loved the second book of the series which is Good Girl Bad Blood. I feel this is better than the first book and I simply couldn’t put the book down.

4. Hidden Pictures – Jason Rekulak

This book really creeped me out! Not to mention the pictures as well. I couldn’t actually put this book and read within 48 hours–it was really good! If you are in a reading slump, then I recommend this book!

5. Bright Young Women – Jessica Knoll

I was lucky enough to get the ARC copy of this book and I actually liked this book! Based on the real-life serial killer, this book based on two women who were affected by this serial killer and how they work together to bring justice to their friends. I feel this is better than Luckiest Girl Alive.

6. Don’t Let Her Stay – Nicola Sanders

This was actually an intense book–couldn’t really put the book down and I like the bit of a cliffhanger at the end.

7. The Quiet Tenant – Clemence Michalon

This was also one of my favorite thrillers I have read–based on a victim who is being held by a serial killer.

8. Out of Sight – Ruhi Chaundary

This is the sixth book of Mackenzi Price series and I loved this book and I couldn’t put this book down, meaning this is one of my favorite thrillers I have read.

9. Husband and Wife – K.L. Slater

Another unputdownable thriller by K.L.Slater. This was so good and I was immediately surprised by the unexpected twist at the end.

10. The Kind Worth Killing – Peter Swanson

I heard so many positive raving reviews on this one and this literally kept me on the edge! Another book to read if you are on a reading slump.
