1) The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer
Goodreads Rating: 4.13
Order on Amazon
From the publisher: Exciting Opportunity: Caretaker urgently needed. Three days of work. Competitive pay. Serious applicants ONLY. Macy Mullins can’t say why the job posting grabbed her attention, but after an endless string of failed job interviews, she’s not exactly in the position to be picky. She has rent to pay, groceries to buy, and a younger sister to provide for. Besides, it’s only three days’ work…
2) Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden

Order on Amazon
From the publisher: Debbie Mullen is losing it. For years, she has compiled all of her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighborly advice. Through her work, Debbie has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or even abused by their husbands. And Debbie does her best to guide them in the right direction. Or at least, she did.

Goodreads Rating: 4.45
Order on Amazon
From the publisher: After years of excuses, Tess has finally agreed to go caving with her best friend Allie. As Tess and Allie descend into the depths, they realize they’re not alone. A stranger who claims to be a fellow caver harasses them. Soon, Tess is trapped inside a narrow crawl space hundreds of feet underground, fighting to stay alive. Perhaps the brutal attack wasn’t so random after all.

From the publisher: Courtney Gray’s peaceful vacation turns into a nightmare when she discovers her brother and sister-in-law dead in their lakeside cottage. Her niece Reese is missing. Her nephew Wyatt is asleep upstairs—unharmed. As police swarm the quiet resort, dark truths about Courtney’s family—and the town itself—begin to surface. Is Reese a victim… or the killer?

From the publisher: Hannah is having an incredible spring break at a resort in Mexico with her best friend Emmy and her family. Eager to impress Emmy, her wealthy new boyfriend charters a private sailboat to make the most of their last day in paradise. Their boat is the only one leaving the marina. A storm is brewing onboard that’s as deadly as the one racing toward them. Forget surviving graduation. Who will make it back to land alive?
6) The Divorce by Freida McFadden
Goodreads Rating: 4.08
Order on Amazon
From the publisher: Naomi was living the quintessential love story. Boy meets girl. They fall in love, get married, buy a dream house, start a family… Then―he kicks her out, hires the city’s best divorce lawyers, drains their accounts, and takes up with a 20-something. It’s a brutal end to the story. Naomi should accept defeat: move into a dingy apartment and get back into the workforce. Except, why should she?
Which of these thrillers are you looking forward to diving in first? Is it psychological mind games, isolation in the wilderness, or the claustrophobic unknown beneath the earth’s surface? I’d love to know and happy reading!
