Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman or Commonwealth by Ann Patchett. 2 of my favorites.
Was going to recommend the same! Eleanor Oliphant is great!
If you like mysteries, Laurie R. King has some great books. She has a series about Mary Russell who is married to Sherlock Holmes and also some other suspense/mystery novels.
Check out crime novels set in Ireland (and the bogs!!!!) by Erin Hart…
Have you read the Steele series by Casey Hill?
In the mystery genre, have you read any James Lee Burke? I love his Dave Robicheaux novels. The Billy Bob Holland, not so much.
Also Peter Heller-Dog Stars and The Painter were two of my favorite reads this year (might be Dog Star not Stars ).
the Kate Burkholder series by Linda Castillo is really good
Love the series!
me too
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Have you tried Mary Kubica? Her books would make you forget about everything in the world. I read Good Girl and Don’t You Cry, and both were awesome!!! ❤️
Yes! Some of my favorites!
A Perfect Combination by N Marie Kane
Guys, I think she said no mysteries…
I stand corrected. My bad.
@Annette not your bad!!!
No wait, she said : “Will read anything but mystery and thrillers are my favorites!” So mysteries are OK!
Okay, I read it will read anything BUT mysteries…you are correct Polly Dye.
Comma after anything I think she means.
Reminds me of how a comma can make a lot of difference……For example: Let’s eat grandma!. vs Let’s eat, grandma! ?
@Polly that’s what I was thinking…
The Last Mrs Parrish.
Best.Day.Ever.
We Were Liars
The Mr. Mercedes trilogy by Stephen King, Penn Cage series by Greg Iles. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
I love Greg Iles! Have you read any Harlan Coben?
No I havent, will look him up, thanks!
I like any J A Jance books. Sheriff Joanna Brady series is my favorite but J P Beaumont series a close second.
You might like Bird Box by Josh Malerman or Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I couldn’t put them down.
I have read Dark Matter. I have never heard of the other one, but will check it out. Thanks so much for the rec!
If you enjoy cozy mysteries with a touch of gravitas, then I heartily recommend …

I’m adding this to my list too. Thanks for the recommendation.!
@Susan, I’d love to hear what you think of it.
I’m fourth on the waiting list at my local library. 🙂
@Susan, hopefully the three ahead of you will read it quickly and pass it along to you before too long. I actually requested that our library add it to their shelves which gave me first pass at it. (Read about it on Goodreads.)
I think Peter May’s Lewis Trilogy is outstanding.
False Memory by Dean Koontz
The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult
False Memory is my absolute favorite by Dean Koontz!
@Laura mine too
Where They Found Her
Agatha Christie is the best mystery writer by far. Nobody else comes close.
I think that Tana French and Kate Atkinson’s mysteries are the most wonderful things ever. Also love the Christopher Fowler Bryant and May series.
I LOVE Tana French and Kate Atkinson. I haven’t heard of the Bryant and May series, but will be checking it out ASAP. Thanks!
The Art Forger by B A Shapiro.
? Following
Michael Koryta, Those Who Wish Me Dead
Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer series or James Lee Burke’s Dave Robicheaux is wonderful too…
-Brother by Ania Alborn…very twisted, so good
-Babydolly by Hollie Overton
I just discovered and devoured the Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths. The series is about a forensic archeologist professor in northern England and all the mysteries she helps solve.
