I read and review books as part of my job and there's nothing I like more than a fast-paced, twisty psychological thriller.

There's nothing more satisfying than racing to the end of a book and discovering a twist so unexpected, it makes you gasp out loud.

A twist so satisfying you'll yell "what the bloody hell just happened", go back and re-read parts of the book, and wonder how you never saw it coming.

These are the books you remember for years to come and make you wish you could go back in time and experience that twisty goodness again.

Here are my top 10 psychological thrillers of all time:

The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

I picked up a copy ofThe Last Thing He Told Meas soon as I heard Reese Witherspoon was adapting the book into a TV series starring Julia Roberts. In doing so, she's basically combining three of my favourite things - thriller TV series, Julia Roberts and anything Reese Witherspoon touches.

From the very first page, I was hooked. The plot centres around 40-something Hannah, a woodturner, who moved to Sausalito in Northern California to live with her new husband, Owen, and his 16-year-old daughter, Bailey.

One afternoon a note is delivered to Hannah from Owen that simply reads: "Protect her".

Owen has vanished into thin air, and with the FBI and the state troopers on her heels, Hannah must discover why Owen left and if he was ever really the man she thought she married.

The Wife and The Widow by Christian White

InThe Wife and The Widow, Christian White pulls off one of the best literary twists I've ever experienced.

Seriously, my mind was blown.

Set on an isolated island,The Wife and The Widowis told from two women's perspectives. There's Kate, a widow, who is just learning about her dead husband's secret life. And Abby, an island local whose world is turned upside down when she is forced to confront the fact her husband may be a killer.

Believe me when I say you won't see the twist coming.

In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware

British author Ruth Ware is the queen of the locked room mystery, she's a modern day Agatha Christie with more complicated characters and darker storylines.

In A Dark, Dark Woodfollows the story of Nora, who lives a reclusive life in London. She hasn't seen her high school best friend Clare for 10 years, not since Nora walked out of her old life and never came back.

Then out of the blue, an invitation to Clare's hen party arrives. And Nora thinks the weekend away at an isolated cabin will be the perfect way to reconnect with her old friend.

But then something goes wrong. And long buried secrets come to the surface.

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

I've loved all of Gillian Flynn's books.

Gone Girlredefined the psychological thriller genre and set a new standard in mid-book twists.

But Flynn's first novel,Sharp Objects,is as good if not better than the one that made her an international household name.

Sharp Objectsfollows the story of Camille Preaker, a crime journalist who returns to her small Missouri hometown of Wind Gap to cover the murder of two local teenagers.

While she's there, Camille is forced to face her own traumatic past and learns the truth is far closer to home than she could have ever imagined.

The book finishes with a final twist that will leave you reeling long after you've finished reading it.

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

Speaking of twists,The Silent Patientdelivers one of the best twists I've come across in recent years.

The thriller follows the story of Theo Faber, a psychotherapist who takes a job at the Grove, hoping he can be the first therapist to make Alicia Berenson speak.

Alicia hasn't said a word since she brutally murdered her husband and Theo believes he's the only one who will be able to get through to her.

BUT THERE'S A BIG BLOODY TWIST.

We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz
