I would also suggest 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier. It's a gothic thriller set in a large English estate. The new bride is haunted by the memory of her husband's first wife, Rebecca, and as she uncovers more about the past, there are many twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.

Sure. 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn is a gripping action thriller. It's not your typical action in terms of guns and chases all the time. But the psychological twists and turns create a lot of action - like tension as the story unfolds about a missing woman and her husband.
