Okay, so the 2022 suspense list? I genuinely think 'The Maid' by Nita Prose got too much hype for its quirkiness and the actual suspense felt secondary. My pick is 'The Paris Apartment' by Lucy Foley. Foley’s strength is that locked-room, multi-perspective dread, and this one uses a strange Parisian building with awful neighbors so effectively. The pacing is relentless.
For something less trope-y, 'The Cartographers' by Peng Shepherd blends map obsession with a murder mystery and this surreal, almost magical realism threat. The suspense comes from uncovering a hidden world, not a chasing a killer. It’s a slower, more atmospheric unease that really got under my skin.
I’d skip the big-name thrillers that year; they felt formulaic. 'The Family Remains' was a fine sequel but didn’t match the original’s tension. The ones playing with structure or a weird central concept delivered the proper gut-punch surprises I crave.

This might be a niche take, but for suspense lovers who want more than just a thriller, 'The Cloisters' by Katy Hays was a standout. It’s set in a museum of medieval art, following a summer intern getting tangled in academic obsession and occult rumors about fortune-telling tarot. The suspense is quiet, intellectual, and incredibly sinister—it builds through research, hidden symbols, and the chilling politics of a tiny, isolated workplace. It’s not about car chases; it’s about the dread of realizing the person you work beside might believe in something dangerous enough to kill for. The historical mystery layer makes the tension feel heavy and unique.

My vote goes to 'The It Girl' by Ruth Ware. Her prose has this smooth, addictive quality that makes the pages vanish. The story hops between past and present, unraveling who really killed a college roommate. The setting—Oxford university—adds this pressure-cooker intensity. Ware is so good at making you doubt every character, including the narrator. It’s a pure, classic suspense mechanism executed perfectly.

I spent most of 2022 chasing that 'can't put it down' feeling, and two books absolutely wrecked my sleep schedule. 'Run Time' by Catherine Ryan Howard is a masterclass in meta-suspense—an actress filming a horror movie in the Irish woods starts losing track of what's script and what's real threat. The format itself, with script pages intercut, builds this incredible paranoia. Then there's 'Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six' by Lisa Unger, which is exactly what it sounds like but executed with such vicious precision. It takes that classic 'rich friends on a doomed trip' setup and weaponizes modern tech anxiety and old secrets. Both had me checking the locks.

I thought marriage meant love, loyalty, and forever. But the night I overheard my husband plotting my downfall with my sister-in-law, my world shattered. The man I had sacrificed everything for was only after my family’s wealth and worse, he wanted me dead.
Drugged. Betrayed. Left bleeding while he ran to the arms of his ex. That was Marcus Thompson, the man everyone believed was the perfect billionaire husband.

From USA Today bestselling author and the author of Billionaire’s Secret Baby, comes a brand-new suspenseful romance about a socialite falling in love with the man ordered to protect her. With one hell of a twist, this steamy romance is a must read!
Agent Scott Tabor was as sexy walking away as he was coming toward you. You know the kind of attractive that makes your mouth dry, and your palms sweat before you ever speak to the man? Yeah… that’s my reality.
But let’s back up a second.
It all started a few weeks after my parents died in a freak accident. While I was trying to grieve, my long-lost uncle came into the picture. At first, I thought Uncle Frank was trying to make an effort—until I came home to a nightmare.
Forced to abandon my apartment, I turned to my lawyer and old boyfriend, Nate Livingston. Only his very pregnant wife wasn’t too happy with me hanging around. And who could blame her?
Meanwhile, Uncle Frank was doing everything in his power to make my life a living hell.
Enter Scott Tabor, FBI agent extraordinaire and my new roommate. I’m sure we can keep everything platonic. After all, we are both adults. Adults with wants, needs, and dare I say, an insane attraction for each other?
In a war-torn world, Noura is desperate to escape the clutches of a dangerous warlord who wants to force her to marry him.

But as they journey across dangerous lands, Noura begins to question everything she knows about loyalty, trust, and the man who saved her. With every step, the lines blur between protector and captor, and Noura must face the terrifying truth about Khalid's obsession—and her own feelings. Will she find freedom, or will she be trapped in a bond darker than the war she's fleeing?
Regina’s life begins to unravel after a single, unexpected revelation shatters everything she thought she knew about her past. What starts as a quiet connection with Michael—a calm, grounded young man carrying his own burdens—quickly deepens into something neither of them anticipated. But just as love begins to bloom, dark truths surface.
A powerful and high-handed cartel led by the ruthless Raymond operates in the shadows, manipulating events, silencing truth, and leaving destruction in its wake. As Regina digs deeper, she uncovers a web of secrets tied to her family—secrets involving Barrister John Odion, the man she trusted as a father figure, and a hidden truth about her identity. Even more devastating is the discovery that her father’s death was no accident, but part of something far more sinister.
With the past closing in and danger growing, Regina must find the strength to face betrayal, uncover the truth, and decide who she can trust. Alongside Michael, she steps into a world where love, power, and deception collide—and where the truth may cost everything.
I'm gonna have to champion 'The Violin Conspiracy' by Brendan Slocumb here, which might not be a traditional thriller but the suspense is absolutely riveting. It follows a Black classical musician whose family heirloom violin is stolen right before a major competition. The tension comes from multiple fronts: the high-stakes race to recover it, the cutthroat world of classical music, and the deep dive into systemic prejudice.
You're on edge the whole time, not just about the mystery, but about whether the protagonist will ever get the fair shot he deserves in a biased industry.
Man, 2022 had some absolute bangers for plot-driven fiction. A lot of buzz rightly went to Hernan Diaz’s 'Trust'—it’s this layered, puzzle-box narrative about wealth and deception that totally rewires itself as you read. I was flipping pages trying to figure out what was real.
Then there’s 'The Rabbit Hutch' by Tess Gunty. It’s less a traditional thriller and more a deep, interconnected character study in a crumbling apartment building, but the tension comes from waiting for these disparate lives to violently intersect. The plot coils tighter with every perspective shift.
For sheer, can’t-put-it-down propulsion, 'Lessons in Chemistry' by Bonnie Garmus isn’t just a charming period piece. The way it frames a female scientist’s fight in the 1960s as a kind of intellectual heist story, complete with a mysterious past and a dog with a POV, is way more gripping than the cover suggests.
I’d also slot in 'Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow' by Gabrielle Zevin. Calling it a book about video games undersells it; it’s a decades-long saga of friendship and creative partnership that plays out like the most intense, emotional level you’ve ever tried to beat.
