I have nothing in I store I want :(
I like crime/thrillers, like psychological thrillers, but fairly tame/domestic
Sophie Hannah, Elizabeth George etc
Like medical thrillers, michel palmer, obin cook
Like apocalyptically stuff
Like sci if to an extent - can cope with a zombie-creating virus, don't like anything that involves lumpy foreheads or pointy ears
Not keen on chick lit, tho I'm sure some of the stuff I read (liane moira ty) overlaps. Hate romance. Hate highbrow thrillers set in snowy Russian landscapes where I have to really concentrate to remember who is who. Hate gritty stuff, Madura Keller, that woman who digs up bones

Also uninvited - looks good
And not even stated on other posters' recommendations yet. Love the thought of crime books set in Scotland. Woo hoo

How about 'Into the darkest corner' by Elizabeth Haynes. I've recently finished it after hearing about it through mojomums book club (on fb, great for book recommendations) I used to go to bed excited to read it, though it's quite a harrowing story. The hairs on the back of my neck would stand up reading it x

Liz Jensen - The Uninvited. Sort of apocalyptic.

marzipanfiend · 18/12/2014 22:01

or oryx and crake by Margaret atwood or the children of men by pd james if you've not read them but if you're into apocalyptic stuff i imagine you have. have you tried jo nesbo? or barbara vine (aka ruth rendall but a bit different) . will watch thread with interest as our taste in books sounds quite similar

I think you would like Susan Hill's Simon Serrailler series.There are 8 books so should keep you going for a bit.

Have you tried Denise Mina...crime drama set in Scotland. Or I've enjoyed Brady Udall's two books The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint & The Lonely Polygamist. Have also enjoyed Under the Jewelled Sky by Alison McQueen.
