     My number one favorite suspense novel I have ever read would for sure be Gone Girl. On Amy and Nick's anniversary, Amy goes missing. Nick comes home to a destroyed house and no wife to celebrate with. The cops suspect it was the husband Nick, and find Amy's journal that leads them to more suspicion. It has one of the biggest twists in a book I have ever read and I love it. Gillian Flynn is an amazing author, and definitely will cause your jaw to drop, from all the suspense and plot twists.  Gone Girl definitely increases your thinking, and was never boring. A definite must read, before you see the movie!

My second favorite suspense novel is Tell No One, by Harlan Coben. Alex Beck's wife was murdered in front of him one night while they were celebrating being together at their lake. Or so he thought. He begins to receive emails from what appears to be his wife. Then, a video clip is sent to him from a live street camera. His wife appears in it, staring at the camera, not saying anything. He now knows she's alive and would do anything to find her again. The end of this book also has sort of a twist, but what mystery novel doesn't? I would recommend to anyone that enjoys anything with suspense, and a little violence.

     My third favorite suspense novel is Along Came a Spider, by James Patterson. In this novel, two famous children are kidnapped by their teacher. He was pretending to be someone else, when really he was a psychopathic killer with a split personality. Alex Cross, homicide detective, is trying to catch this psychopath, Gary Soneji. Jezzie Flanagan is the first female supervisor of the secret service, whom Alex falls in love with, but at the wrong time. Read and find out if Alex can find this crazy killer, before the children and others die too. This is a definite must read. James Patterson is an amazing author, whose words just flow through your mind, curious as to what happens next.

  The Girl on the Train is my fourth favorite suspense novel. It's very similar to Gone Girl. Rachel, divorced drunkee takes the same train at the same time every day. She's pretending she's going to work, when really she lost her job. Every day she looks out the train window at all the houses, even her old house that her ex husband still lives in. Two houses down from there is a couple that Rachel is infatuated with. She creates lives with them, acting as if she knows them. One day, Rachel sees something she wasn't supposed to out the train window. The next day, the wife of the couple she was infatuated with goes missing.Rachel thinks she has information on what happened with her missing, and becomes more involved in the case than she should. if you've read Gone Girl and enjoyed it, I would definitely recommend this. The ending isn't as good as it could be, but still a very good, suspenseful read.
                                   


Dexter is another great suspense/thriller novel. Dexter is a blood splatter analyst for the police department, and also a serial killer. His job makes it easy for him to find the bad people, and kill them. That's the only people he kills, the bad ones who deserve it. A bunch of murders start turning up that resemble Dexter's killing style, and he gets freaked out. I recommend this book to anyone because it's very entertaining and different. It's not as much as a suspense novel as the others, but definitely a thriller.
