Just read Then She Was Gone and found it really gripping - looking for a follow up read, so tell me, which books did you struggle to put down? Ideally looking for a thriller/mystery type

I've just finished The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter. It's a stand alone if you've read any of her other books.

The story line is shockingly brutal, very much like Karin's other books, but the love between two sisters is wonderful.

ooh thank you for all of these. :)
Kindle or print, either is good. I am off to check reviews and read the blurb on some of these suggestions

I would highly recommend the Blackhouse Trilogy (aka The Lewis Trilogy) by Peter May.

I've read all three twice and both times I was totally addicted. The second reading provided me with so much more than the first reading, and right now I'm considering a third reading in the very near future.

I've just read 'I see you now' by Clare Mackintosh in one day. Couldn't put it down!

Also, Dead Woman Walking by Sharon Bolton.

I just finished One Last Summer at Hideaway Bay in floods of tears. So good I read it in two days. Not a thriller though.

Sorry, meant on kindle.

Kindle or print book? I read Extracted by R R Haywood and the follow up Executed. Really good books. I'd hesitate to say sci-if but there's an element of time travel - it's really well done though, not naff.
