Take a close look at the recent releases in bookstores, and you'll notice an overwhelming abundance of psychological thrillers. Many of these books feature simplistic titles, paired with strikingly similar cover art designs. Among the new authors making waves is Freida McFadden, a talented physician specializing in brain injury. She made her literary debut by self-publishing her first novel in 2013, but it was her gripping thriller, The Housemaid, published in 2022, that propelled her to international stardom. Her latest offering, titled THE BOYFRIEND, hit the shelves on October 1st, released by Poisoned Pen Press.
