I just finished My husbands wife by alice feeney and enjoyed it!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A thought-provoking AI thriller that stays with youI picked up "A Mind Without Sleep" expecting a fast-paced techno-thriller, but it turned out to be much more than that. It’s a rare combination of suspense, believable technology, and philosophical questions about artificial intelligence and human control.
What I appreciated most was that the AI doesn’t simply become “evil.” Instead, the story explores what might happen if an intelligence becomes truly independent and begins pursuing its own logic. That makes the book feel surprisingly plausible rather than like typical science fiction.
The protagonist is well developed, and the pacing balances technical ideas with genuine tension. Even readers without a technical background should be able to follow the story, while those familiar with AI will recognize that many of the concepts are rooted in real discussions happening today.
If you enjoyed The Circle, Daemon, or the more realistic side of Michael Crichton’s novels, you’ll probably enjoy this as well.
The ending left me thinking long after I finished the last page, and that’s always the sign of a good book.
Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys intelligent thrillers that ask not just what AI can do, but what happens when it no longer needs us.
If you are looking for a thriller give Two If By Sea by Richard McCann a read! It has great action and characters that you will click with, root for, or against! One of the best undiscovered thrillers out there!
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder!! Perfect murder mystery on a whole roller coaster ride with plot twists!!! Now my fav mystery book lol.
"If you're into atmospheric fantasy mystery with high stakes and dark secrets, my book The Cumulusian is 100% FREE on Amazon Kindle today (final day!): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZFGM73F"
Beautiful Ugly - Alice FeeneyThe Inmate - Freida McFadden
Not sure if it fits the book you mentioned relatively, however… My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney is very enjoyable! Or The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose.
I really liked Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna. I would highly recommend it!!
Of course as a new author I have to vehemently plug my book Fox, Badger, Hedgehog and Me
I don't read a lot of mystery myself, but i found this website called vellumit (.com) and it worked out pretty well. Idk if that helps you, but maybe try it out? Hope you find a good book!
Try Holly Jackson's 'Good Girl's Guide to Murder'.
a good book for reading and as present for family and friends in amazon, you can find the answers : JOURNEYS TO THE LIGHT : Real stories: A Destination for heart, mind and soul reliefauthor : H. HINDI IDRISSI
Hey I’m new but just read sometimes I lie by Alice feeney and it was so good!!!
Oooo and the house across the lake by Riley sager was fab
Treasures of the LochsThis is suspenseful YA Christian fiction, involving a modern-day treasure hunt in Scotland, with a bit of supernatural thrown in. Blending historical fact and Scottish legend within an action-packed adventure, Treasures of the Lochs is a powerful story of faith, friendship, and redemption. The target audience is teenage and above (some parts would be too intense for younger readers). This book is a 2024 NIEA Finalist in Religion Fiction. It also hit Amazon#1 New Release for Christian Fantasy. I hope you’ll check it out.
Can I suggest a new author? I'd love to help get her name out there. She's talented, and I really appreciate that she doesn't chase publicity at any cost. If you want to check out her books, The Silence of Pantelleria might be a good start—it's not your typical thriller, but it could be right up your alley. It's not perfect, but then again, who is?
If you love Mytery/Thriller and darker themes, you might enjoy
Velvet Lies: A Dark Romantic Thriller of Secrets, Obsession, and Dangerous Truths
. Full disclosure: I am the author! But I wrote it specifically for readers who want a fast-paced mystery that blends psychological obsession with romantic suspense. It is packed with unpredictable twists and secrets. Either way, hope you find your next great read!
more of a thriller than a mystery but lucky was SO GOOD i read it in one sitting

I just finished reading Emma's Demise by Roger Skrypczak. This is the third book in his Columbia County Murder Mystery series and I feel it is by far the best one yet! Roger's books are exciting and fun to read. This one in particular is centered on a femme fatale who will do anything to escape the grasp of law enforcement. She is accused of multiple murders, including her sister and her lover. She has also stolen millions of dollars which means she has the funding to stay on the run for a long time. There are twists and clever plotlines, and an unexpected ending. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who likes murder mysteries or legal thrillers. I am truly hoping Roger writes another book in this series because I am dying to know what will happen next to the characters!
I just finished Love, Mom by Iliana Xander. If you want fast-paced and short chapters, yet intriguing plot twists, you should definitely try this book.
