Some Psychological Suspense Novels to Read

From Google's AI, the definition of psychological suspense is... "Psychological suspense, as a literary and cinematic genre, focuses on creating tension and intrigue by delving into the mental and emotional states of characters. It emphasizes internal conflicts, psychological complexities, and the unreliable nature of perception, rather than relying solely on external threats or physical action. This genre aims to evoke strong emotional responses by playing on the audience's anxieties and perceptions." And here are quite a few novels to get you started down that rabbit hole.
