PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS

CHRISTENA APPLEYARD

THE CLUB

by Ellery Lloyd (Mantle £14.99, 352 pp) BASED on the opening party night of a luxury private club, this story is packed with the awful, narcissistic celebrities that we love to hate. And there’s a glamorous murder thrown in.

Written by a former director of Soho House, this is a tantalising psychological portrait of what makes celebs tick and their toxic attitudes towards each other.

THE GOLDEN COUPLE

by Greer Hendricks

and Sarah Pekkanen (Macmillan £14.99, 336 pp) AVERY CHAMBERS is an anarchist therapist who doesn’t play by any of the rules. When her opponents go low, she goes even lower. So cheated-on wife Marissa’s decision to hire her results in a rollercoaster read of manipulation and mind games.

THE COMFORT OF MONSTERS

by Willa C. Richards (Point Blank £8.99, 400 pp)

THE famous murders committed by American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer provide the unsettling background for Peg’s desperate search for what happened to her disappeared sister many years ago. Moving, original and memorable.

THE PARIS APARTMENT

by Lucy Foley (HarperCollins £14.99, 416 pp) EVERY resident of this romantic Montmartre apartment is suspicious, so Jess has her work cut out discovering why her brother has suddenly disappeared. Vivid descriptions of Paris and an excellent cast of characters make this a riveting and original read.
