Book Riot Managing Editor Vanessa Diaz is a writer and former bookseller from San Diego, CA whose Spanish is even faster than her English. When not reading or writing, she enjoys dreaming up travel itineraries and drinking entirely too much tea. She is a regular co-host on the All the Books podcast who especially loves mysteries, gothic lit, mythology/folklore, and all things witchy. Vanessa can be found on Instagram at @BuenosDiazSD or taking pictures of pretty trees in Portland, OR, where she now resides.
Two addictive reads for fans of twisty psychological thrill-rides from New York Times bestselling author Mary Kubica. The Good Girl: What seems like a safe one-night stand turns out to be the worst mistake of Mia Dennett’s life. A tautly written, compulsive read that reveals how even in the perfect family, nothing is as it seems… The Other Mrs.: Meet Sadie and Will Foust, the new couple in town. When their neighbor is murdered, Sadie is drawn deeper into the mystery, but the more she discovers the more she realizes how much she has to lose. #LockTheDoors
Family secrets, espionage, serial killers, psychological suspense: there’s a whole wide world of thrillers out there and we’re just trying to read them all! Many of us have go-to writers whose work we’ve come to rely on, but we here at Book Riot are always looking for new (or new-to-us) authors finding new ways to keep us at the edge of our seats. That’s why we want to know: what authors do you think thriller readers should know? Share your tried and true genre juggernauts and help us discover lesser known writers, too. Come shout them at us on Facebook and Twitter, then we’ll round up your answers and be back next week to share a roundup with your fellow Riot readers. We look forward to building a big, beautiful, diverse list of authors to get to know.
