Most Highly Rated Psychological/Domestic Suspense Novels 2023

I just posted the CrimeReads Best Psychological Suspense Novels of 2023 and noticed that the list missed a lot of the most highly rated novels in that sub-genre so I decided to make this list of the psychological/domestic suspense novels that have been mentioned most on the 94 “best” lists I have consulted this last month or so (and posted on this website). The numbers following the titles indicate how many “best” lists the particular title was found on.

Jessica Knoll, BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN (22)
Lisa Jewell, NONE OF THIS IS TRUE (20)
Rebecca Makkai, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU (16)
Cara Hunter, MURDER IN THE FAMILY (13)
Liz Nugent, STRANGE SALLY DIAMOND (12)
Riley Sager, THE ONLY ONE LEFT (12)
Angie Kim, HAPPINESS FALLS (11)
Megan Abbott, BEWARE THE WOMAN (8)
Shari Lapena, EVERYONE HERE IS LYING (7)
Stacy Willingham, ALL THE DANGEROUS THINGS (6)
Jean Kwok, THE LEFTOVER WOMAN (6)
Rachel Hawkins, THE VILLA (5)

The CrimeReads list has only two of the same titles on its list (HAPPINESS FALLS by Angie Kim and THE LEFTOVER WOMAN by Jean Kwok). The CrimeReads list may contain very good books but I’m only pointing out that the books listed may not be the “best” when comparing it to what’s on other “best” lists. I’m not an expert in psychological/domestic suspense because I read very little of it, but I think the comparison of the two lists says a lot.
