If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember me going down the rabbit hole last month and binge-reading a whole bunch of psychological suspense novels by an author named Freida McFadden. I dove into Freidaβs buzzy suspense novel THE HOUSEMAID earlier this summer on a whimβand quickly found myself hooked on the authorβs deliciously binge-worthy popcorn thrillers. My August 2022 reading list ended up being dominated by Freida McFadden books, and I realized itβs about time I documented my journey with her work so far! The next time I find myself falling into a reading slump and just need something lighter and binge-worthy to pull me out of it, I can almost guarantee Iβll be turning to a Freida McFadden book for the perfect βpopcorn readβ solution. Without further ado: read on for my ranking of the Freida McFadden thrillers Iβve read so far!

CBTB'S RECOMMENDED "POPCORN THRILLERS"
We all know how much I love a dark, disturbing crime novelβbut sometimes, even I need something lighter and more escapist. Enter what I like to call βpopcorn thrillers.β Binge-worthy as a bowl of popcorn and brimming with as much entertainment value as your favorite movie, a βpopcorn thrillerβ is one of those irresistible, lighter suspense novels that make for the perfect escapist, one-sitting read. This is an entirely arbitrary category of thriller, but itβs one that youβve probably heard me refer to a lot here on CBTBβand itβs a category that (based on conversations Iβve had with folks in this community!) so many of you seem to really enjoy. Todayβs blog post is exactly what its title says: a place for me to collect my recommendations for βpopcorn thrillers,β and a resource for you to return to when youβre looking for your next read in this category! Iβm keeping this blog post simple: there arenβt any bells & whistles here, simply a running list of βpopcorn thrillersβ that I personally love. Under each bookβs listing, youβll find the publisher-provided descriptive copy for the book, and a buy link so you can check it out for yourself.
