I'm not sure The Woman Before Me qualifies as a thriller, but it is an interesting psychological study into how some people grow up damaged when they don't feel loved and valued by the people who brought them into the world. Ruth is such a person: lost, manipulative, selfish, jealous. She's a mostly unlikeable character, yet I couldn't help seeing the little girl inside who was still looking for love and acceptance. The story itself offers a decent mystery, wrapped in Rose's sadness.
