How about "If you could see me now" by Peter Straub. It's really good and keeps you guessing because you have an unreliable narrator.

There is one book that has sold as many copies of, if not more than, the Bible and that is Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand.
this is the story of one man who takes away the genius of the world, those who live by the power of the mind and do not use others nor allow them to use him. The book was written in the late 50's, 1957 I think, and yet if you go into a bookstore it is still on the shelfs as if written yesterday. In some ways it is a hard book to read because there are several speeches in there quite long, and it was a little difficult to really get into the book from the beginning, but it is a great book in that you can often see a comparison with our society today and realize that she saw those things over 20 years ago. I have read it I think 7 times now and get a little more from it each time.

You are referring to Doris Lessing, a fine writer. You also might enjoy a wonderful book called "The Handmaids Tale" by Margaret Atwood. It opened my eyes and made me cry. Currently I am reading "That Old Ace in the Hole", by Annie Proulx. She is an excellent writer, with the ability to interest a reader in some unlikely subjects. I've also read her "The Shipping News", a story based in Newfoundland. Do check her out, for she is not run of the mill!

Lisa Jackson
Lee Childs
They are all writers of psychological thrillers!

If you liked cut you might like What Happened To Lani Garver by Carol Plum-Ucci or Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. They deal with the head case issues while still being a really good story. And there's this other book. Aimee...but I don't remember who wrote it.

something that provokes concept and is irreverent for its time besides as nonetheless a reliable study some years later. What makes a e book super is that one you are able to study throughout returned and nonetheless earnings something from it like Catcher interior the Rye or Grapes of Wrath or maybe 1984 via George Orwell.

Thomas Harris' best (imho) are "Red Dragon" and "Silence of the Lambs." Jonathan Kellerman is good, too.
These aren't thrillers, but you might want to take a look at . . .
"American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis
"Spider" by Patrick McGrath
"Asylum" by Patrick McGrath
For psychology, you can't beat Dostoyevsky and Shakespeare.

Try Michael Marshall Smith, Tabitha King (Stephens wife), and there's a female writer also called King but I've forgotten her first name who writes about Mrs Sherlock Holmes.

Jeff Lindsay "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" perhaps. I think that might fit into the psychological thriller type genre..
It was also made into a tv show on Showtime called "Dexter"
