So many, @Renee. I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh, The Dry by Jane Harper, Blame by Jeff Abbott, Here and Gone by Haylen Beck, The Long and Faraway Gone by Lou Berney, and Dead Woman Walking by Sharon Bolton. These are all stand-alones. There are mystery/crime series that I follow that are un-put-downable, too.

@Jennifer, do you have a particular setting you like? I read quite a bit set in England and Scotland, but I also read ones set in Texas and the Adirondack Mts. Do you prefer police procedurals or cozy mysteries or something else? And, do you prefer a certain time period? I’ll be happy to get some suggestions to you, but if you have any preferences from my questions, I’ll look at those first.

Hi Kathy, I like contemporary detective stories set in England or Scotland but I’m open to any good series. Thanks a lot!

Sorry I am just getting around to commenting back but @Kathy I absolutely LOVED Blame by Jeff Abbott. Talk about some serious twists and unexpected turns. Thank you for the suggestion. About to pick another one of your suggestions.

I’m reading this right now! Halfway through and I’ve got no idea who may have done it…

I was like that too. Every time I had an idea I dismissed it. Turns out one of them was right.

@Tracey what did you think? It’s classified as young adult fiction, but I thought that Simon’s actions, reasons and thoughts were inappropriate for young people -especially with the terrible things that have been happening in schools all over the country. They hear and see that enough in real life…

I didn’t think they were inappropriate, but it felt like more of an adult book than YA. I think the topic is pretty relevant in today’s society.

@Tracey I agree, I think it’s relevent, but I agree that it’s more of an adult book. I guess I just don’t think kids need any more dangerous ideas. They seem to have enough already!
