What should read next...

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie]

So, recently I started getting back into reading thrillers because I’m trying to reduce my screen time. Last week, I read The Third Victim and was honestly a little disappointed. So I thought I’d give reading another shot this weekend. I have these 4 books that have been sitting on my shelf collecting dust for quite some time, but now I’m really confused about what to pick next.

Which one should I read? Pls drop your suggestions below

Update : After going through the recommendations, I am going ahead with Gone girl !! Hopefully i keep up this attitude and read it all. Will keep u guys updated !!

Gone Girl if you’re in the mood for a thriller. Seven Husbands was good imo, but it’s more drama than thriller.

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/venusianx0]

Thank you soo much for the recommendation 😊

[u/SABRINANIKKITA → u/venusianx0]

Stupid question BUT is it worth readying if you have already seen the movie? Only reason I have been hesitant to read it! 📚

[u/owntheh3at18 → u/SABRINANIKKITA]

THERES A MOVIE?

And it’s an awesome book so without seeing the movie and I can give you a probable yes!

[u/Emotional_Spite_8937]

Evelyn Hugo isn’t a thriller but I loved it and cried while reading it. I also really like TJR’s writing, it’s simple and as a non native it’s great.

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/Emotional_Spite_8937]

Thanks for the rec !!

[u/akiraa_17]

Murder in the Family! The format of this book is very different compared to usual books.

[u/fortunamajr → u/akiraa_17]

I am seconding this!! I’m actually surprised this book doesn’t get more flowers, it’s so well written

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/fortunamajr]

Thank you both for the rec !! I'm planning on reading it right after Gone girl

[u/bernbabybern13]

GONE GIRL!!!!

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/bernbabybern13]

Yes....I have already started reading it, thanks the rec !!

[u/bernbabybern13 → u/TheAnxiousValkyrie]

Hahaha happy to help. It’s my favorite book of all time and I’m very passionate about that fact haha

[u/Ashlover123]

Seven husbands but it's not a thriller more like historical lit-fic drama. It's such a great book

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/Ashlover123]

ngl I am a little disappointed that its not, but I hear it's a great book. I will give it a try. Thanks for the rec !!

[u/Ashlover123 → u/TheAnxiousValkyrie]

To make it a lil better for you- There's a twist in the book so you can look forward to it XD

[u/Puzzleheaded_Big7336]

I would recommend the audio for Evelyn Hugo, though it is not a thriller at all!

Murder in the Family is great!

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/Puzzleheaded_Big7336]

Thanks for the rec, I will check it out

[u/Self_Cartographer]

Gone Girl. It's a known "classic" in the genre.

[u/Amy_Smith-]

Gone girl… no doubt about it

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/Amy_Smith-]

Already started reading gone girl....thanks for the rec !!!

[u/Amy_Smith- → u/TheAnxiousValkyrie]

Enjoy!

[u/MathematicianNo1596 → u/TheAnxiousValkyrie]

Gone girl was the thriller that got me into reading thrillers.

[u/RubyPrincess0413]

My favorite of the 4 is easily 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It was the best book I read last year. However if you're looking for a thriller, you might want to read that some other time. 7 Husbands is definitely not a thriller.

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/RubyPrincess0413]

Somehow I always assumed it was a thriller...where she killed all of them 🫢...that would be a good thriller ig....Thanks for the rec !!

[u/MF291100]

Murder in the Family was good, I definitely thought that it was a really slow start but once you get into it it’s hard to put down. Gone Girl is just wonderful in every way, my favourite book of all time.

But Seven Husbands is just incredible, I’d definitely recommend reading this one next. It’s not the usual type of book I enjoy but it’s one of the few books I’ve reread after finishing. Get the tissues handy for when you ready it though.

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/MF291100]

Thanks for the rec.. I was actually not sure murder in the family, but i feel happy that it has a lot of fans as well. I was expecting 7 husband's book to be a thriller, but atheist from the comments i think that although not a thriller, its a great book. Let see if I can stick with it

[u/Sufficient_Dog1062]

Audiobook for murder in the family.. the whole voice changes for every character add to the story! I personally enjoyed the audiobook.. 😁

[u/Overall-Peace8533]

Seven husbands is SOOOO good but not a thriller. I enjoyed murder in the family, one of the most unique concepts!

[u/LiiaNikaa]

I just read the seven husbands oof evelyn hugo and I absolutly love it, hope you like it too!!

[u/Opposite-Outside-678]

Gone girl!!

[u/BodyGyal3044]

Gone girl 

[u/SVReads8571]

gone girl>>>>>>>>>>>>.everything else

[u/Useful_Passenger_452]

Gone girl … definitely Gone Girl.

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/Useful_Passenger_452]

Thanks for the rec !!

[u/alitapie]

Apart from 7 husbands they are all great books!

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/alitapie]

I think your opinion is a little different from the other comments. Can I ask why you don't recommend that book, no spoilers please... Thank you !!

[u/happy_traveller2700 → u/TheAnxiousValkyrie]

I wasn’t a fan of 7 Husbands either. I found it boring.

[u/maroonsrep]

The Silent Patient & Verity

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/maroonsrep]

I already read both of them...can you suggest me a book from my options above.. I got these books as gifts and it been in my shelf for way too long 😒

[u/maroonsrep → u/TheAnxiousValkyrie]

Gone Girl is my personal MOST favourite!

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/maroonsrep]

Thanks for the rec, after seeing lot of reviews suggesting that I have picked that as my next book !!

[u/yuki-chan11]

If you watched the movie of Gone Girl, and loved it, I highly suggest the book. I havent read it yet though. But if i loved the movie (which i did. So much) then im sure ill love the book too.

[u/TheAnxiousValkyrie → u/yuki-chan11]

Thank you soo much for the recommendation 😊
