Please recommend a page turner, not necessarily crime?

I find myself immediately bored by stories from the perspectives of police/FBI/private investigators. I wouldn't say i dislike the crime genre completely, but I just find a lot featuring those to be done to death.

I would love to get my teeth into a great book though, any ideas?

Also would recommend the Eddie Flynn series by Steve Cavanagh. They're written from perspective of a defense lawyer and are all amazing reads

I've just read The Holiday by TM Logan. I finished it the same day I bought it - could not put it down!

Have you tried 'The One' by John Marrs?
Or if you like Dystopian fiction I very much enjoyed 'The Girl with all the Gifts' by M.R Carey.
Another one that hooked me recently was 'All the Ugly and Wonderful things' by Bryn Greenwood (TW difficult subject matter though)

Very literal of you. I'll rephrase. I finished it last night.

Loved this, as has everyone I’ve passed it on to.
