Good Thrillers

[Eve]

Hi, hope you are all having a nice Sunday.

I'm on the look out for some good new thrillers if anyone has any recommendations.

Have recently read The Girl on the Train, I Let You Go, In a Dark Dark Wood, Behind Closed Doors, Burnt Paper Sky and others.

Any recommendations welcome, don't have to be new ones out.

From previous threads it sounds like there are a few of us who read similar books so hopefully it will also give some suggestions for others too :)

James Oswald but do read them in sequence

I've read several by Rachel Abbott that are good.

Oh I do like James Oswald, have read most of his Inspector McLean ones, really good reads, think they were Oxfam finds. Just been on his website and there is a new(ish) one and some earlier ones I haven't read. I've read Natural Causes, Book of Souls and Dead Men's Bones.

I hadn't heard of the The Ballad of Sir Benfro series.

List here for anyone else interested:

Samantha Hayes is good too

[Eve]

Brilliant, thanks for that pixie :)

Peter James and Stephen Booth

I don't know if this is quite the genre you are looking for, bit having read and enjoyed some of the ones you mentioned, may I suggest Colin Falconer ? I have just finished The Disappeared , and thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Eve]

Thanks Psybbo, will look in to all of these.

Harlan Coben is very good at a thriller, particularly Tell No One.

Linwood Barclay's No Time For Goodbye is also a must read thriller.

[Eve]

Samuraisan too, thanks for that. Is that the same The Disappeared that was just on TV, though that was a French thriller TV wise, very good if you didn't catch it and on catch up from BBC4.

[Samuraisan]

No, this was about Argentina in the '70s. Very interesting.

[Eve]

Thanks Pasta, I've read a few Harlan Coben ones, some better than others, prefer the more general ones to the Mickey (?) someone ones I think it is?

I've read Tell No One, it was very good. I'd say the best one of his that I've read.

I did start No Time To Say Goodbye but couldn't get in to it at the time, will have to give it another go.

[Eve]

Rocky even! Sorry :)

Thanks Samuraisan, will look in to that.

[Eve]

I'm even getting the TV name mixed up, was The Disappearance, not The Disappeared if anyone fancies looking in to it! I think I need me an early night tonight! :)

Thanks for those shaney, lots of ideas to keep me going :) On the look out for books I can really get hooked in to as had a bit of a lull after some really good ones.

How about one of your own excellent mystery/crime writers: Elizabeth George:

Yes I agree about Lee Child and Michael,Connelly......though the Jack Reacher books are getting a bit samey, I feel . And he is now well over fifty, a bit old to be roaming around America slaughtering the bad guys and picking up ladies,all over the place.

Michael Connelly is brilliant, especially the last one, The Crossing.

Also brilliant is Mick Herron, the British thriller writer. ......Slow Horses, Real Tigers etc .

I'm working my way through Michael Connelly. I love them, especially the Harry Bosch ones.
