Grip Lit

I recently picked up a copy of The Woman in the Window. A couple of weeks ago, I finished it.

I have to admit, I really enjoyed it. A who-dunnit kind of book that had you guessing to the end and made it hard to put down. After reading it, I looked at some of the reviews online, and was surprised to realize that A.J. Finn is actually a male author. I thought the opposite, because the female lead character was so well defined in this book. Secondly, I came across a term for these type of books that I hadn't heard before -- "Grip Lit" -- supposedly meaning Gripping Literature or psychological thrillers. And yes, I guess I am a fan of grip lit, as those are the types of books I tend to enjoy the most.
