I hated The Push. As a mother of 4 I couldn’t stand reading about how the mother was so neglectful and abusive to her child. Any issues that child has later in her life I feel we’re caused by her mother. Putting headphones on to ignore your baby crying literally all day because you resent your life as a mother isn’t ok. The mother shouldn’t have had kids when she did. It was obvious to me that the little girl resents her mother and eventually her brother because of the way her mother treated her. You have to remember that one was a small child and the other is an adult.

I feel most mystery thriller books that come out these days are all hyped by social media and as you say, pushed through and rarely deliver. I did screen shot 3 you did like to look into. I now treat mystery thrillers as popcorn reads only and they very rarely get a rating over 3. That said, they are my summer go to relax and don’t have to think too much genre. I agree with you that We Begin at the End is really good, but again, not a mystery per se but more literary fiction. I struggle these days to find a well written book (for me at least).

His third is due out in September right before my birthday so I'll be treating myself. For what it's worth, I enjoyed The Final Girl Support Group. Also, a book that might scratch the same itch as the premises of Riley Sager's books but actually be good is A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay. And not related to mysteries/thrillers, I just finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin (after having read The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry based on your recommendation). The new one is also excellent if you have at least a passing familiarity with video games. Don't have to be an expert, just have played some at some point in your life.

Razorblade Tears was underwhelming tbh. But I also don‘t think that I‘m the target audience so…. It basically reads like a standard action blockbuster movie. As for Grady Hendrix. I recommend My Best Friends Exorcism over The Final Girls Support Group. It’s about female friendship and full of cheesy 80s references. I love Grady Hendrix but I think if you‘re not a big horror movie fan he‘s more of a hit or miss. He loves to hide horror related Easter eggs in his stories or straight up references a lot of classic horror films and it‘s really fun (for example the characters in The Final Girl Support Group are basically the final girls from classic slasher movies like Halloween or Texas Chainsaw).

I read the TMC and I was like "Eh, it's okay" but I decided to carry on. MWDT made me like the series so much that I pre ordered the 3rd book. So I think MWDT is stronger than the first. I felt I connected and understood the characters and their personalities so much more. The first one was such a slog but the second one was a fly by. Though I tend to get bored/frustrated when the group takes a while to come together/be a group. So that's probably one of the reasons I enjoyed the second one as the group was solid. I have always enjoyed "Old people solve crimes" trope though. It's one of my favourites.

Totally agree with you on the Silent Patient, so medicore and forgetful. The guset list was so insufferable to read, should have DNF it instead to finish it painfully. To be honest, these so called the " thriller" is more like drama with some thriller elements, and neither the drama nor the thriller is done well.

Cute shirt and fitting for this video lol. Thriller is a genre I want to like but I always end up hating them... I think I'm giving up on the genre.

She said The Silent Patient was mediocre. I am immediately hesitant to trust her opinion.
