Sara Ochs recommends

The Afterparty (2025)
Ruth Kelly
"I absolutely cannot get enough of Ruth Kelly's writing, and The Afterparty is no exception. It's a chilly, spine tingling thrillride that had me hooked from the very first page. Every time I thought I knew what to expect, Ruth jerked me in a different direction. With hauntingly realistic characters, a to-die-for setting, and twists you'll never see coming, The Afterparty is THE thriller you need to read this winter!"

High Season (2025)
Katie Bishop
"Katie Bishop is a master storyteller. In High Season, she weaves a beautiful, intricate mystery that tests the strength of memory and time and the harsh consequences of both. Complete with an exotic setting, flawed and complex characters, and spellbinding prose, High Season is an absolute masterpiece."

The Dead Husband Cookbook (2025)
Danielle Valentine
"The Dead Husband's Cookbook is delightfully twisted and utterly delicious. It had me gripped from the very first page and wouldn't let up until that shocking and satisfying ending. Danielle Valentine is a master of the horror thriller, and I can't wait to see what she does next!"

The Hideaway (2025)
Nikki Allen
"The Hideaway is THE thriller debut of the summer! With an atmospheric setting that will immediately transport you to the Costa Rican rainforest and a dubious cast of characters, The Hideaway has all the hallmarks for a perfect destination-based, locked room mystery. Filled with tense twists and turns, it will keep you guessing - and distrusting everyone - until the very end. With The Hideaway, Nikki Allen cements herself as a thriller author to watch, and I can't wait to see what she does next!"

Runner 13 (2025)
Amy McCulloch
"Amy McCulloch does it again! Runner 13 is an absolute scorcher of a thriller that examines the lengths we are willing to push ourselves for what's right. Each chapter left me out of breath and desperate to learn what would happen next. Reading this book was a race to the very last page. All in all, Runner 13 proves that no one does an adventure thriller quite like Amy McCulloch."

I Did Warn Her (2025)
Sian Gilbert
"I DID WARN HER is Below Deck with a body count, and I loved every minute of it. Intricately plotted and devilishly dramatic, with a claustrophobic setting and a final twist to kill for, I DID WARN HER is everything I want in a thriller. I can't wait to see what Sian Gilbert does next!"

Whiteout (2025)
R S Burnett
"A white-knuckle thrill ride that will leave you thinking long after that chilling final page."

A Girl Like Us (2025)
Anna Sophia McLoughlin
"Twisty, glamorous, and prickling with tension from the very first page, A Girl Like Us was everything I needed to fill the Succession-sized hole in my heart. The ending left me speechless, and I can't wait to see what Anna Sophia McLoughlin does next."

The Summer Party (2024)
Kate Gray
"The thriller of the summer."

The Stranger at the Wedding (2024)
A E Gauntlett
"The Stranger at the Wedding is a cunning, twisted mystery that will keep you second guessing who you can trust until the very last page."

The Rip (2024)
Holly Craig
"The Rip dragged me in from the first page and caught me in its current of non-stop tension and suspense."

The Clinic (2024)
Cate Quinn
"The Clinic drew me in from its tense first page and left me thinking long after I finished it. It's a twisty mystery with feeling that kept me turning the pages until well into the night."

Notes on a Murder (2023)
B P Walter
"A deliciously dark nightmare that I never wanted to wake up from. Reminiscent of The Talented Mr Ripley."
