25 twisty audiobooks for fans of Freida McFadden’s psychological thrillers

Greetings, fellow readers! If you publicly identify as one, chances are someone you know has asked, “Have you read any Frieda McFadden?” After all, she continues to dominate bestseller lists and prime spots on airport bookstore displays with books like The Housemaid and The Intruder. And, if you, like me, can answer a definitive, “OF COURSE!” to that question, but you’ve exhausted her extensive catalog, then have I got a book list for you! Just in time for the holidays when, perhaps, we all need a bit of an escape from our domestic “bliss” (though hopefully not in as dramatic a fashion as any of her books—or those on this list!).

I’ve rounded up a list of 25 psychological thriller audiobooks, all available on Libby, that are sure to keep you guessing until the end—and hopefully make you a bit more thankful for the family you have gathered around the table rather than any of these! These twisty listens also invite some deep dives into their authors, many of whom have multiple titles. You just might become as obsessed with their work as McFadden’s; I just ask that you do so in a fun, fandom way, and not in a way that would lead you to be written about in books like these in the future!

So, pop on your headphones and enjoy the suspense and shocking twists that these great audiobooks have to offer!

*Title availability may vary.
