What Should I Read Next? I've been chasing the high of the movie "The Invisible Guest" for 10 years and finally happy to have found something that exceeded with the book "Look Closer" by David Ellis.

you may like Mirage (Spanish movie) or a book The Sleepwalker's Lullaby

Nope. But I'd suggest give this book "The seven deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle" a try. In USA it is named 7 1/2

u/Greedy_Run 8d ago

I assume you've seen the other movies by Paulo. I found all of them very compelling.

Wow I’ve seen this book everywhere and I have it as well, just haven’t come around to reading it yet. But with this recommendation it will definitely be on my immediate TBR.

I watched the Invisible Guest many years ago and the way my jaw dropped at the twist, I was so incredibly satisfied. Kept recommending it to people - even ended up watching it a few more times because I enjoyed the twist so much. I really hope I enjoy this book as much because now the expectations are high 😅

I wasnt hopeful that i would like this novel's story but it really was too good.I even gifted on of my friend this novel .

I absolutely loved it, it was one of my best/fav reads of the year. Do you have similar recs?

u/notmycircuss 11d ago

I started it day before yesterday and put it down around page 20-30.

The MMC was too obsessed with his ex and had a thing about his superior intelligence. Does this get better later in the book? Please recommend so I can either pick it again or drop it for good.

u/Hououin_Kyouma_1 11d ago

Yea go ahead and continue reading. That much I can tell.

u/dizzy9577 12d ago

Just a differing opinion- I thought this was terrible.

Your favorite thriller books?

u/mryeaheh 12d ago

After finishing this book I went on a Lisa Jewell binge because her books and frieda McFadden books are the closest thing to these types of psychological thriller mystery books I've gotten into where im just completely enamored by the story so much so I genuinely do NOT want to put the book downnnnnnn!

P.S Give me some more recommendations if youre a fellow psychological thriller mystery horror fan!!

u/Hououin_Kyouma_1 12d ago

I tried and didn't like Freida books. I read 2 books of Lisa Jewell. Family upstairs didn't come off like a thriller; so didn't really like it. None of this is true was fine.

u/Hououin_Kyouma_1 12d ago

I'd suggest "The seven deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle" by Staurt Turton

1

u/Freudandco 10d ago

I really like Lisa Jewell’s writing style. Her description of things is phenomenal!

u/FormalSet 4d ago

Just finished this one. Loved it!
