The Kate Burkholder series by Linda Castillo, they are a little bit of both. Sharp Objects and Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, Deception Point Dan Brown,
I’m still a fan of Mary Stewart’s 1950s–70s romantic thrillers. The Informationist by Taylor Stevens is a brilliant thriller with a unique woman protagonist. I also like the forensic focused romantic thrillers written by Laura Griffin. My favorite mysteries are by Louise Penny, Margaret Maron, Ellis Peters, Elizabeth Peters, and Dana Stabenow.
I love this site because it reminds me of authors I haven’t read in a while and tempts me to new ones. I haven’t read Mary Stewart in a long while and love her Merlin books.
Shutter Island, The Westing Game, anything by Agatha Christie (especially And Then There Were None), The Hound of the Baskervilles, anything by Will Lavender, anything by Ruth Ware, anything by Megan Abbot, anything by Jennifer McMahon, anything by Gillian Flynn ?
For a quick read: Normal by Warren Ellis
I’m reading Secrets of Eden by Chris Bohjalian, and it’s pretty good.
The Alienist by Caleb Carr. The Bee Keeper’s Apprentice by Laura King.
So of the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes books by Laurie R. King are great. Reading them in order helps.
All of…. Stupid auto correct.
Oops I misspoke her name, but I do love her books. I like some of her other books that are not in the series as well.
Yup. Kate Martinelli mystery books are great too.
yup
Steve Alten’s Meg is a great thriller.
Louise Penny is my very favorite mystery writer. But you must read them in order for the backstop.
This of one’s of the best mystery series around. I almost never figure out the twist.
I anxiously await the new louise Penny book coming out in August!
