Really love psychological thrillers and detective stories. Any recommendations?
I’ve read many psychological thrillers. Tried Paula Hawkins, Mary Kubica’s books, or Fiona Barton? Ooh. One more- really scary. We Need to Talk About Kevin.
Agatha Christie : my favourite is Ten Little Niggers.
Arthur Conan Doyle : my favourite is The Hound of the Baskersville.
Thank you so much. Will get onto these.
You’re welcome. Hope you like it. 🙂
Well, I write those types of books, but I’m going to recommend Sue Fortin
Try the Bill Hodges trilogy by Stephen King
I’ve never heard of these. Love lots of Stephen King, what’s the names of the books?
I’m into Lisa Gardener at the moment
The girl with the dragon tattoo by Stieg Larsson. Far From You by Tess Sharpe. Hemlock Grove by Brian McGreevy.

Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books are awesome!
Have you tried Nordic Noir? They are crime novels from Scandinavia and are absolutely brilliant! I can send you a list of a few authors to start you if you want.
The Harry Bosch series by Michael Connolly???
And if you’re in the mood for shorter, lighter detective stories—check out Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe series!????
James Patterson’s my favourite crime writer.
Jeffery Deaver’s books! His Lincoln Rhyme series!
Chelsea Cain… Heartsick series… could not put them down
Gretchen is a piece of work
The Rebus series by Ian Rankin or the Spencer series by Robert Parker. The first takes Edinburgh as its setting; the latter is based around New England, but primarily Boston. Both are good detective series.
