Psychological Chillers, mystery-thrillers?

Post by booklvr62 »

with good twists and turns throughout, that keep you guessing who to trust.

With no, to only occasional mild profanity, and no graphic sex.

I also have an aversion to gratuitous violence, details of gruesome gore/dismemberment, torture, serial killers, sociopaths, psycho exes, and absolutely no abuse/violence to a child, or abduction!

No books under 224 pgs.

I actually prefer missing persons mysteries/non-murder mysteries, imposters posing as someone else, archaeological/artifact/relic mysteries, and mysteries of the unexplained/unsolved mysteries.

Love Inspired/Amish-themed are fine.... if not full of religious proselytizing! Also YA and other sub-genres such as sci-fi, horror, thriller, ect. as long as they meet the criteria.
A great one that I just read is the YA~Forget Me by K.A. Harrington

I once read a novel called "Tell me your dreams" by Sydney Sheldon. It was great and had a surprise ending. I really recommend it.

Sandman by Lars Kepler is one good book that will keep you in the dark till the end. The book seems like a sociopath/murder book but its not. Its about how far a person can go to get back at some one and how much they will rationalise their actions.
Agatha Christie has some really good mystery books but they almost always include death. If you still want to read her books I recommend Then there were none. Its a mystery-thriller book where it is almost impossible to guess the mastermind behind the crimes.
