6 Books to Cure Your 'Big Little Lies' Withdrawals
The finale of Big Little Lies (and every episode before that) left fans in a wake of emotional destruction—so what now? These books will satisfy your need for suspense-filled plots and major relationship drama.
<i>All the Missing Girls</i>, Megan Miranda
If you're loved BLL and Gone Girl, there couldn't be a more tantalizing escape to indulge in this spring. Two women disappear a decade apart, and this psychologically teasing thrill-read explores their harrowing cases, told in reverse over the course of 15 days. Full of shocking twists and surprise hooks, All the Missing Girls needs to be a part of your BLL emergency recovery plan.
<i>It's Always the Husband</i>, Michele Campbell
If BLL taught viewers (and readers) anything, it's that the most delicious (and dangerous) drama stems from the bonds of female friendships. Three college roommates become BFFs and sustain a love-hate relationship for two decades…until one of them ends up dead. Did boiling envy lead to murder, or was it the husband, as society expects? It's a whodunit suspense novel that will keep you guessing with every page.
<i>The Housekeeper</i>, Suellen Dainty
Monterey isn't the only setting for luscious domestic drama. Newly dumped Anne Morgan discovers that the most dreadful of secrets are found in the household…especially when playing housekeeper to celebrity idol Emma Helmsley. An addictively dark tale full of psychological drama, long-hidden secrets, and the dangers of fabricating a pristine public facade, The Housekeeper will satisfy any reader's cravings for family drama.
<i>The Missing Ones</i>, Patricia Gibney
If you judge a book by how shocking the ending is, then the The Missing Ones will floor you. A woman's body is discovered in a cathedral and a young man found nearby hanging from a tree. The connection? A mysterious tattoo. Throw in a detective with a disturbingly close connection to the ghastly case and you have a book so unputdownable, you'll be turning pages faster than you hit "Next Episode" on Netflix.
<i>Last Seen</i>, J.L. Doucette
As Celeste Wright taught viewers so well, you can't run away from reality—nor the wounds of the past. When the murder of her husband sends psychologist Dr. Pepper Hunt to rural Wyoming to start her life over, the mysterious disappearance of a new patient plunges her into an investigation that may destroy everything she knows. Readers will grow enamored with these characters and the twisty dark plot—so much so, they may forget about BLL completely.
<i>The Husband's Secret</i>, Liane Moriarty
If none of those reads hits your BLL sweet spot, then perhaps another dose from the plot master herself will soothe the sharp pangs of withdrawals. Cecilia Fitzpatrick discovers a letter from her husband meant to be opened upon his death—the problem? He's still alive, and the letter contains an earth-shattering secret that destroys what they've built together, as well as the lives of those around them. A sweat-inducing nightmare from beginning to end, Moriarty proves again that no one does suburban thrill quite like her.
These books will satisfy your need for suspense-filled plots and major relationship drama.
