+1 I'm listening to the audiobook of this currently on hoopla. It is narrated by Ron Perlman, who's voice is just perfect for the book.

The Life We Bury
The Husbands Secret

Are you into romance, historical, but somewhat magic stuff? If so anything from Kenyon's Dark Hunter series and best two books Acheron and Styxx. Until I read it I wasn't into that genre at all, but couldn't put them down.

I thought Tana French was really dull.

I suggest Liane Moriarty books Big Little Lies, and The Husband's Secret.

Devil in the white city

I loved both these books, but Devil in the White City still haunts me many years after I finished it. I still have the occasional nightmare about it. Interestingly the horrifying bits make the world fair planning and construction parts more memorable. I think I retained more facts from that book than any other I've read. It's truly an amazing book.

I wouldn't call 2 family house a page turner ... ?

Try Good Liar by Nicholas Searle

I'm reading "What She Knew". I believe it was recommended on DCUM awhile back. It's a page turner, can't tell if it's 'great' yet.

Yikes! I'm nightmare-prone so I don't watch horror movies, but now you have me really intrigued.
I loved The Glass Castle.
Thanks so much everyone who has chimed in, can't wait to dive into some books! --OP

Her

Luckiest Girl was a fast fun read, but super-annoying at times. Very snotty voice.

I loved "Her" until the ending. Then I pretty much threw the book against a wall.

Was the Headmaster's Wife good? I bought it on impulse but haven't read it.

OP, try Disclaimer by Renee Knight, and if you can handle violence -- try Never Coming Back by Hans Koppel.

I agree and don't understand the hype.

Also really loved:

Dirt Music and Cloudstreet by Tim Winton
Middlesex by Jeffery Euginides
Tom Wolfe's early stuff like A Man in Full

For something lighter, try Bossypants or Jessi Klein's You'll Grow out of it.
