Books I Can’t Put Down - From a Mom Whole Loves Mysteries and Thrillers (No Gory Stuff)
12
items I’m starting to list from where I’m at now. I’m an avid audiobook listener and I’m always on the hunt for a great new novel that has mystery, suspense and a bit of a thrill. I don’t like gory books that describe gruesome scenes in a vivid way, and I ...

Heather Gudenkauf
Right now I'm really into books from this author. Her stories are unique and always take me on a ride where I think I know who the culprit is, and then I get smacked with who really did it. Her books are really gripping, like I want to keep reading a...
I wasn’t joking when I said I was going to read all of her books. 🤓📚 I enjoyed this book, it had a lot of suspense. It was hard to decide who the guilty person was and it was really good to figure it all out in the end. Her books are great! The sto...
Not a Sound: A Thriller - Nurse in Jeopardy
Another attention grabber. This was my first Heather Gudenkauf book and at first I didn’t know where it was headed. Then, it sucked me in. Great story that had all the obvious suspects but of course, it wasn’t them. I liked trying to solve this myste...
The Perfect Hosts: A USA Today Bestseller Thriller
Ok, I’m starting with this one because I just “read” it. I listened to it, and I couldn’t wait to finish it. It kept unraveling in a way I didn’t expect and kept me on the edge wanting more. This one pulled me in and had me guessing the whole time. L...
Before She Was Found: A Sleepover Thriller
Out of all the ones on my list, I’d put this one in 4th place. It’s a great read and makes you guess the whole book who the culprit is. But I think I didn’t love the story line. I enjoyed it though and listened to it in like two days. Also I must not...
This Is How I Lied: A Chilling Thriller
This one might top the list of Heather Gudenkauf books I've read so far. It starts out unassuming and goes back and forth in time. When it starts to come together, it get's so good and you start to feel the suspense. I couldn't wait to find out how i...
The Overnight Guest: A Novel – A NYT Bestselling Psychological Mystery Thriller
Cass Green
This book was really good. I didn't know what to expect when it started, but then it hooked me in. There's and unassuming character that's packing a lot of hidden secrets. The book keeps you guessing, and wondering how it will work the whole time.
The Woman Next Door: An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with dark and jaw-dropping twists
This book was good. It came full circle in the end and made a lot of sense. It tells two different stories and the way there is good. The main charachter is kind of one of those people you don't feel bad for after a while, but then they catch on and ...
IN A COTTAGE IN A WOOD
Ruth Mancini
This book had me guessing from the start. It was confusing, but in a good way. It was hard to know who to believe. Then of course the end unfolded and was really good. It had a happy ending.
The Day I Lost You
This threw me for a loop. The story sucked me in and then basically switched and went in another direction. It was good all the way through. It tells the ending first, and then spends the whole book explaining it and why.
The Woman on the Ledge: A Twisted Tale of Betrayal and Deceit
Mary Kubica
I like this author, her books always end with a psychological twist. Her books are less about finding who dun it, and go deeper into the psychey of the main character and what they're going through. It's stressful but in a good way. 😊
This book was a good read, and I usually love a mystery but after a while the main charachter got kind of obsessed. I guess that's the whole point. The story was good, it had a before story and a during story which I always enjoy.
Pretty Baby
Ok, this one threw me. It was sad to begin but then you wanted to help the main charachter figure out what was going on. When she finally figures it out, it's like, whoa. Definitely a twist in the end.
When the Lights Go Out
This mystery is about a missing woman. It pulls you in and then you feel sad after you get to know the two main characters. The end has a really good twist that I wasn't expecting. Hence, the “good girl.” Its sneaky.
