Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is Villains.
I was coming up with way more than ten villains for this prompt, so I limited it to villains in mysteries and thrillers released in the last 5 years.










1. Paul Scott – Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
2. Hannah Jennings – The Lies We Told by Camilla Way
3. Steven Hepsworth – Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone
4. Billy Dent – Game by Barry Lyga
5. Cherry Laine – The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances
6. Phillip Rochester – The Exes’ Revenge by Jo Jakeman
7. Melvin Royal – Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine
8. Pammie Banks – The Other Woman by Sandie Jones
9. Perry Wright – Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
10. Amber Patterson – The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
I love your top ten! I have read some, some are on my list to read and I will have to look at the he other ones.
Thank you!
Mel Royal and Perry Wright definitely belong on that list!
Yes! This was a challenging prompt because there are so many villains in the books I read. 😊
Got The Other Woman on my TBR! Must read it soon haha
Hope you enjoy it! I thought it was great!
I hope so too!
Definitely some villians here! I have read several of these books, but will have to check out some others. I selected quite a few that are older books whereas you chose more recent. Interesting difference.
Thanks, Carla! My original post for this topic had a lot of villains from older books, but I rewrote it and came up with this list of recent villains. Actually, I wrote three different versions of this topic before deciding what to post. On the plus side, I have two posts ready to go when I don’t have anything else scheduled. 😉
