I love a good mystery! My favorite stories are the ones when I can’t predictΒ the ending. If you can shock me with your twist ending, I will forever love that story. Think Sixth Sense, The Uninvited, My Sister’s Keeper (the book, not the movie), Big Little Lies. I am obnoxious to go to the movies with because I make it a point to try to predict the ending before it’s over. One time, I predicted the ending from a commercial, and when we went to see the movie everyone was furious with me.
So instead, I try to stick to suspenseful books. That way if I call the ending, it’s just in my own head and I don’t lose any friends. So I’m picking some beachy mysteries and fast reads to accompany me to the pool this summer. These are my picks:
The Woman in Cabin 10
Into the Water
All the Missing Girls
One of Us Is Lying
The Couple Next Door
Have you read any of these? Will I be pleased with the endings??
I’m terrible at predicting the ending, but my husband is always really good at it, so it can be hard to watch shows/movies with him too, haha. I just finished Into the Water, and enjoyed it, though it moved a bit slow for me at times and I don’t think it was AS suspenseful as Girl on the Train. One of Us is Lying is on my TBR, and I hope to get to it sometime this summer.
I’m really bad at predicting endings too but I do love a good mystery novel. If a book is good I’ll finish it in a day. The last book I decided to read… I thought I’d go for a lovely bath and start the book. Well, the first page was about a woman being murdered in the bath… lol. So I wasn’t in there for very long. O_O
I do that too! I binge read books. That is hilarious! I say that was a good call to hop out!
Good to know! I’m looking forward to reading them all!
I can’t wait to read into the water! I know its going to be amazing
I have seen so much buzz about this one! I’m super excited to read it.
I am so interested in the title The Couple Next Door! It sounds very interesting!!

I just saw a review of Woman in Cabin 10 and it made me really excited to pick it up. I love books with a twist ending, so these are all going on my must-read list. π
I am so excited! This is the one I picked for book club. I hope it’s good because I don’t want to disappoint my friends…
I also enjoy a good mystery, its great when you can lose yourself in a book.
I absolutely agree! I’m so excited to dive into these.

I love thriller books! Just got Into the Water in the mail – can’t wait to read it! I need to add some of these others to my list too!
I’ve heard about The Woman in Cabin 10 so many times, I should probably give it a try too!
All of these sound wonderful! I love reading.
