I finally started reading books fairly reguraly. I finished A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck and it was the most amazing thing I ever read. I'm currently reading Come Closer by Sara Gran and i'm enjoying it as well. I need suggestions from my favorite Lemmy librophiles. Thank you!

I'll look into him. Which of his books would be best to start with in your view? Do you read it in German or an English translation?

I read his books in German, but there seem to be English translations and unless they're really bad it should not matter for enjoying his writing or the stories. I read Noah first, but as far as I remember it's a very good thriller, but not that psychological, at least in comparison. After that I just started his books chronologically. Does not matter though, there is no continuing story line or returning characters. But I can vouch for the psychological character of at least his first four books (Therapy, Amok, The Child, and The Soul Breaker).
