Gripping thrillers

A domestic chiller about a young family’s brush with an unidentified stalker, the story is menacing enough to keep the pages turning, and astute enough about rocky relationships to make even the narrator wince.

This is one of the greatest literary works of all time, I think. It's brilliantly mysterious and ambiguous to the end, and I love Bartleby. He's a gloomier version of Ferris Bueller - absolutely determined not to do any work, no matter how much others think he ought to.

I loved this inspiring memoir about a woman changing her life and finding true happiness.

A brilliant guide to living a stress-free life, if you're enlightened enough to practice what it preaches. (I'm not, but I love the theory!)

This is one of my favourites of Val McDermid's books - totally gripping from first word to last.

Brilliant psychological thriller, by a writer with a unique voice and imagination

This is a memorable, hilarious and dark novel about life and love - not for the fainthearted, however.

A great thriller with a breathtaking twist
