Before seeing this list, I was unaware of The Book Girls’ Guide website, but I was impressed with the list they came up with. I expect to see many of these titles appear on other similar lists (that emphasize psychological/domestic suspense) such as the list from the Book List Queen. Our DP reviewers liked DAISY DARKER, THE IT GIRL, THINGS WE DO IN THE DARK and A FLICKER IN THE DARK.
