And if you're still hungering for psychological thrillers, you may be sated with JP Delany's The Girl Before.

Without doubt, there has been some big releases for lovers of all the main crime fiction genres.

I Excellent Read
I loved this book! Definitely a great psychological thriller. The characters were genuine and well developed. I fell in and out of love with them and loved that each character had good and bad aspects and weren’t one dimensional. Highly recommend this one.

Maybe not the best genre for the message (0 more)
A strong cast of characters and an important and well executed message make up for the overlong plot, but the storytelling format may not have been the most effective for the message.

From the kids to pennywise himself everything was well acted and scripted. There was comedy, suspense, and horror. Great movie over all (0 more)
It was advertised as this very scary movie and yes it had it's moments but it was more of a suspense or maybe even a psychological thriller. (0 more)

So far this has been a very interesting series. I'm especially invested as it happened just down the road to where I currently live. I've done a lot of reading around this series and the case itself is really interesting. Can't wait to see more.

Extremely disturbing - needs a trigger warning
I've never felt so moved and violently uncomfortable /ill at the same time while reading a book before. The level of graphic psychological abuse described definitely requires a trigger warning before survivors listen because unfortunately the truth is stranger than fiction, despite many readers wanting to wave away the experiences as 'absurd' on some of the Amazon reviews.

While there were some instances that were unclear especially near the end, and slightly inconclusive in the climax, which was a bit unsatisfactory - it should be listened to as a psychological cautionary tale rather than a thriller as such. To describe it as a mystery would be insulting to those who have experienced it.

A clever psychological thriller
How many books do you trust to be actually based on reality and are non fiction books completely factual? These are some of the questions that arise in this descriptive, slick psychological thriller. It follows the journey of a novelist with writer's block who seems to have been befriended by a woman who takes a lot of interest in her. The woman is enigmatic and secretive and who knows how much of her is real. It is written in the perspective of the writer and so it shows in detail how her mind unravels and is manipulated.

It leaves you pondering whether the protagonist actually imagined the entire thing?

A great psychological thriller
From all the hype and bits I heard about the film I wasn't sure it would be one I would like that much. I finally gave it ago and I did really enjoy it. It's nothing like what I expected really. Although about a ballerina in Swan Lake there are many deep layers to the meaning of the film. Quite dark, disturbing at times and raunchy as well, many will be surprised at what they see. A great performance from Natalie Portman as the perfection driven dancer who has problems coping with what is expected of her. A great psychological thriller with some surreal scenes. If you thought you'd skip it, think again!

Good characters
Full of twists and turns
Really enjoyed this book after it was recommended by a friend. As the plot develops, it becomes more believable and the characters start to really come to life. It has become a book I would recommend to anyone wanting to try psychological thrillers.
