Struggling to find next book.

[BlueBrightFuture]

Anyone read a good crime thriller lately? It doesn’t have to be new just good and Kindle format please.

There seems to be so little nowadays, I have the feeling that I have read most good stuff. (probably because I’m a tad picky).

thanks

Have you tried JD Robb? She writes crime drama, around a central character, Lt Eve Dallas, set in New York in 2060. I love her characters and their flaws and interactions with others, and the relationships she builds up over the books (I am not sure how many of these she has written, but looking at my book case, it is at least 35.

They all have '...In Death' in the titles - the first one is Naked in Death.

Will have a look thanks. I'm normally not so keen on books set in the US except for S King. Started reading I'm a pilgrim but abandoned it because I found it too American.

See I’m picky….

[magimedi]

Am exactly the same as you, OP. Feel as if I have read them all! And I don't like American crime much.

Here's a list of (some) of my favourite authors - maybe you haven't read some of them?

Susan Hill - Simon Serrralier series

Donn Leone - Brunetti series, set in Venice. The earlier ones are the beat.

Barbara Nadel - have only read her Inspector Ikmen series, set in Istanbul, but she has another series set in East End of London (which I tried & didn't like as much).

Arnaldur Indridason - Scandi crime, very good.

Harry Bingham - DI Fiona Griffiths series - have read the first 3 & am waiting for the fourth to come down in price a bit.

Ian Rankin - am sure you have read him, but have to put him on a favourites list.

Alex Gray - Set in Glasgown with Inspector Lorimer. Not as good as some of the above but not bad at all!


Would love to hear back if you can recommend any!

I really like Fred Vargas' Adamsberg books. She is a French writer, the books are translated. I first read a later one in the series before going back and reading the earlier ones, and enjoyed them all. The books are a little strange. I found them refreshingly different.

You by Caroline Kepnes. Believe it was named 'Thriller of the Year' by The Daily Mail - but don't hold that against it.

[snowgirl1]

Have you read 'Girl on a Train' that's set in the UK?

Never Look Away by Linwood Barclay scared me!

[lovemyway]

I should add that I couldn't put it down.

[hackmum]

The new Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling) is coming out next week so that will probably be good. Have you read the first two?

[BitOfFun]

Have you read The Kind Worth Killing ? I loved it, and I was really in the doldrums with my crime thrillers. It's so fast-paced and compelling.

[BitOfFun]

Here it is.

[Laska5772]

I was recommended Sarah Hilary .. Someone Else's Skin.. liked it a lot and have just finished her second book No Other Darkness.. cant wait fo rher third now!

[whatwoulddexterdo]

I was just about to recommend the kind worth killing but I see it's already been mentioned. I really enjoyed this. Am just about to start his debut book, The Girl With A Clock For A Heart.

[stardusty5]

Was going to recommend the Susan Hill Simon Seraillier series but someone has beaten me to it!

[BlueBrightFuture]

Thank you so much for all your recommendations, very much appreciated!

Downloaded a few books to start with;

The kind worth killing

You

Never look away

Also getting Shadow of the wind but not sure if to download the first book only or get the series. Sounds a bit different but would be nice to get in to another series, have not found one I really get in to since the Dragon Tattoo.

Already read the Serrailer series, really enjoyed those and the two Sarah Hilary books, did not know there was a third one coming up. Will definitely look out for the next one… Also read Ian ranking…

Thanks again for your suggestions .. so nice to have a well stocked Kindle now I can disappear in my reading corner whilst the DC watch yet another program on the telly that does not interests me…

Really appreciate it. thanks
