I just finished The Wives by Tarryn Fisher, and The Girl and the 7 Deadly Sins by A J River. I love thrillers, but there are heaps out there. What should I read next?

Finished Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - not happy with the ending!Now starting Oh William by Elizabeth Strout
Leslie, I absolutely agree. I thought the ending of GONE GIRL was a total sell out. I have not / will not read any other of her books.
Every fall season I find myself moving from the comfy beach reads to the mystery and spooky vibes of fall. What better way to ring in the changing of the season than with an Agatha Christie Jane Marple murder mystery. Just started What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw!

Leslie, I didn’t watch the movie, either. And, yes, the writing & story development was excellent, which is why the ending was such a disappointment!!

Funny enough Gone Girl is the only book of Gillian Flynn's I have NOT read. Simply because I watched the movie first.
I think her other books are excellent tho! Hopefully you can give her a second chance!

I previously read Sharp Objects and liked that a lot. She writes very well, but the ending of Gone Girl didn't live up to anything I had hoped for.

I'm reading The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak currently. I see that You have a interest in 'historical romance', 'fiction' and 'non-fiction' and I think this book have it all you're looking for.
The Twelve Tribes of Hattie is a really good one! It's Beautiful and devastating.
I hope you'll like The Forty Rules of Love.
Enviro-Scapes (Exiled Elementals Series). This is book two of the series. The story keeps getting better and better. I'm staying up all night reading it :) There is an interesting love triangle being formed and battle scenes that are sensational. Great urban fantasy romance with some sci-fi feel to it.
