I've been struggling to find a book to get stuck into, and I'm hoping somebody will be able to recommend something for me.

I enjoy thrillers, I've just finished the new Peter Swanson book as I loved 'The Kind Worth Killing' but I was soooo disappointed. Also recently read 'The Rosie Result' and 'Eleanor Oliphant' which I enjoyed but wasn't racing back to read more. You can't beat that feeling, when you're not reading the book but you're still thinking about it.

My favourite author is Donna Tartt.
I love reading WW1 literature.
Also love chick lit- really enjoyed Crazy Rich Asians last year.

If anyone can recommend a brilliant new book I'll be your best friend for the rest of the weekend Grin

I’ve just read Craig Schaefer’s The Loot and really enjoyed it. It’s a thriller and, I hope, the first in a series.

My favourite thriller writers are Lee Child, Zoe Sharp and John Connolly.

JD Robb combines the chick lit with thriller thing - and if you enjoy them, there are 40+ to read, (I’d stop at about #40, I think they might be ghost-written from then on).

Rennie Airth and Jacqueline Winspear write crime novels set in the aftermath of WWI. Airth is a particularly good writer.

I’m not a fan of Donna Tartt, so cant help you there!
