@Lauren It’s awesome! And the movie is really good, despite how underrated it was. I had seen the movie before I read the book. Both the movie and the book are great! Loved them both!
EVER? That’s a big ask! My most consistent pleasure is in Michael Connelly’s novels featuring Harry Bosch! It offers a character study as well as a criminal investigation……
Oooh! That’s a tough one! It’s impossible to choose between The Complete Sherlock Holmes (yes, that’s counted, since you can buy it in one volume!) My favorite Harry Bosch novel (deciding would be another issue), and The Complete Nero Wolfe (this doesn’t exist yet in one volume, but I feel like if we all demand it, the publishing company could make this a reality!) ?????
Oh have the complete Sherlock Holmes volume ? It can now be sat open flat on my lap as it has been read and re-read by two generations. It is high time I look for a replacement as I’m now taping pages back in.
???Lau@Laurenve got the hardcover version with the original illustrations from the London Newspaper thingys–but my daughter is asleep in the room it’s in at the moment
Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. Everybody raves about the Silence Of The Lambs, but I found that book to be almost overwhelming in detail (almost a technothriller) which affected the quality of storytelling. Red Dragon was much more accessible, and contained fascinating interactions between the killer and the painting not transcribed into the film.
I think Sue Grafton’s books are my favorites. I awaited V and W with bated breath, and I don’t think X, Y or Z have come out yet but I’ll snap them up (even in hard cover) as soon as they do.
I’ve always been a fan of James Patterson’s Alex Cross series, Cornwell’s Scarlett’s, Iris Johansson, and Kellerman’s Alex Delaware but I am now totally enthralled with all things Jeffrey Deaver. His attention to detail and character development have me hooked.
I used to like Kellerman, both Faye and Jonathan, and then I got to know Lynda La Plante, and it brings me to all British crime stories and writers like Val McDermid and then I got to know Stieg Larson trilogy which then brings me to my new love to Scandinavian noir, like Jo Nesbo, Asa Larson… And the latest one I also like Japanese author called Tetsuya Honda… So many of them to name
the Richard Jury series by Martha Grimes. Every book seems to have an adorable enticing youngster that reminds us of the magic and quality of life in the young – in all circumstances.
Patricia Cornwell’s Scarpetta serie is really good. I love The Da Vinci Code, The Hound of the Baskersville by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie books especially Ten Little Niggers.
I like all of Fay Kellerman’s Dectective & Rina Decker books. I also enjoyed Harlan Coben’s .yron Bolitar books. Currently discovered Michael Robotham; gonna do more of that 🙂
The Hound of the Baskerville’s. My first “scary” book. I read it when I was nine, such a precocious child, but I have loved it (and Sherlock Holmes) since then!!!!!
Inferno by Dan Brown is my favourite thriller novel that I’ve read. 🙂
Currently a 3rd of the way through it ?

I really like Tana French.

This was my favorite book for many years. Still in my top 5.
I think Sue Grafton’s books are my favorites. I awaited V and W with bated breath, and I don’t think X, Y or Z have come out yet but I’ll snap them up (even in hard cover) as soon as they do.
