From my list on murder mysteries and psychological thrillers that will keep you up at night.
Why am I passionate about this?
I’ve been obsessed with murder mysteries and psychological thrillers for as long as I can remember. My father’s bookshelves were full of anthologies on serial killers, which piqued my curiosity at a very early age (probably too early, but we’re not here to judge my dad’s parenting skills, okay?). As I familiarized myself with the likes of Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, and John Wayne Gacy, I became enthralled by the psychology behind what makes people commit heinous acts. Now as an author myself, these same stories fuel my inspiration and keep me motivated to write books that further explore the darker side of human nature.

Every time I thought I had it all figured out, I was pulled in the opposite direction, ultimately coming to a satisfying ending that was completely unexpected.
From the character development to the tightly woven plot to the author’s lyrical writing style, I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who enjoys a gripping murder mystery-psychological thriller hybrid.
