timesnow.in is the digital arm of Times Now, an English-language news channel in India owned and operated by The Times Group. This week, they posted an article about the eight murder mystery books recommended by Gillian Flynn. The article was compiled by Pritinanda Behera.
Gillian Flynn is, of course, best known for her hugely successful novel Gone Girl and her famously dark and twisting, psychologically gripping thrillers. Her favourite books are those that are tense and clever and packed with unexpected twists. In this article, she lists her eight favourite murder mystery books and explains her taste in gripping, suspenseful narratives. Her recommendations reflect her love of complex characters, dark psychological exploration and intricately plotted mysteries, books that keep you hooked right to the end.
We are happy to say that Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is first on her list. She describes it as a classic tale of suspense and intrigue. Gillian loves the psychological depth, the slow-building tension, and the way the book plays with themes of identity, obsession, and guilt.
The complete list of the novels that Gillian chose is:
1. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
2. The Secret History by Donna Tartt
3. In the Woods by Tana French
4. Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn*
5. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
6. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
7. The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith
8. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
*While it may seem unusual to recommend one of her own books, Sharp Objects is a murder mystery that exactly fits Gillian's taste. It is a masterclass in suspense and psychological tension, blending a murder mystery with dark family secrets, much like the books she enjoys reading.
