Winter is coming, so it’s the perfect season to read psychological thriller books like Girl on the Train. Who doesn’t want to curl up with a blanket, hot beverage, and the perfect amount of chilling fear and anticipatory excitement? Paula Hawkins books like Girl on the Train are sure to provide an ample amount of both, but Paula Hawkins isn’t the only author worth your time (or ours). We’ve already written about Gone Girl, so this time we grabbed our own blankets and beverages and compiled a list for you of new books to read if you liked Girl on the Train.
