At Book Riot she tagged the six most surprising thrillers ever written, including:
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah PinboroughRead about another thriller on the list.
This has a shocking surprise twist, of course, but Pinborough’s novel also has an element of WTF that adds to the fun of reading this psychological thriller about a single mom who discovers that her one-night stand is her new boss and that his wife wants to befriend her. In my first review of this book, I wrote, “You might want a reading partner for this one so you can share your guesses and discuss the ending,” which I feel is always a bonus to a book.
You can watch the six-episode series adaptation on Netflix, which stars Eve Hewson, Simona Brown, and Tom Bateman.
Behind Her Eyes is among Maia Chance's six best uncanny domestic thrillers, L.K. Bowen's ten best marriage-gone-bad thrillers, Clare Whitfield's seven literary murderers hiding in plain sight, Alice Feeney's eight top novels featuring odd couples and unexpected partnerships, Leah Konen's seven dark thrillers about friendships gone wrong, and Camilla Bruce's eight novels to make you question reality.
