'Our House' by Louise Candlish uses a unique format (transcripts, blog posts) to tell the story of a woman who comes home to find strangers moving in and her husband missing. The toxicity is in the slow reveal of a marital betrayal so elaborate it feels like psychological warfare.

The thriller element is the 'how' and 'why' of the property fraud. But the heart of it is the devastating betrayal of trust and the meticulous planning behind it. It feels invasively real, like the worst-case scenario of a relationship going wrong.

Finally, 'The Night She Disappeared' by Lisa Jewell. While it's a missing-person mystery, the toxic relationship between the young couple who vanishes is a central puzzle. The story alternates between the search and the events leading up to their disappearance, revealing a relationship strained by ambition, jealousy, and outside pressures.

The toxicity isn't overtly abusive but a slow erosion of trust and happiness. The book also explores the toxic dynamics within the affluent community where it happens. Jewell is a master at creating ordinary characters caught in extraordinarily sinister situations.

Which new psychological thriller books delve into gaslighting and control?

I found 'The Paris Apartment' by Lucy Foley also plays with these themes, though in a different key. The protagonist arrives at her brother's fancy apartment building, only to find him missing and the neighbors giving her the runaround. The collective gaslighting by the residents, who all claim not to have seen or heard anything, is maddening. It’s a story about control through secrecy and social power. You feel her growing frustration and isolation as she’s treated like a nuisance or a liar for asking basic questions. The setting itself becomes a character, a gilded cage of lies.
