Recommend a book you couldnt put down/read in one sitting?

[Illbefinejustbloodyfine]

I feel crap, on the sofa with a blanket for a quiet day. Need a new book to read but nothing I own is taking my fancy. Would love to get stuck into a page turner i can get on my kindle

This doesn’t happen to me very often (where I struggle to put a book down), I was like this with
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan
The Reformatory by Tananarive Due

Probably a couple more but those sprang to mind first.

neighbours guide to murder by Louise candlish, I read it in a day and think is currently 99p on kindle.

The Marriage Portrait. I'm halfway through this on Audible, I bought it for a long drive. You've reminded me to pick it back up.

Any by Jo Nesbo

I couldn’t finish it either. I gave up. I had such high hopes…..

I also read Stephen King's Later on holiday, four hours straight sitting on a balcony absolutely mesmerised. So gripping!

A lot of his books are like that but I don't always have the time to just sit there with it and no interruptions.

I listened to Fingersmith on Audible - I think the accents/voices really helped with the story telling.

I started Last One at the Party by Bethany Clift last night and have just climbed into bed to finish it off - been out for the day with the kids otherwise it would have been done and dusted by now!

Have you read Strange Sally Diamond? If you liked EOICF then you’ll enjoy that too I think.
Both brilliant books.

Last One at at the Party is fab! I read it a couple of years ago, so well written! I was a little traumatised 😂

i haven't. Thank you 🙏🏻 so much for the recommendation. I didn't want it to end so will order this now 💕

I’ve just finished the woman who went to bed for a year , I know it’s old but I loved it

I am currently chomping through Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell. It's completely addictive.

Well this weekend I read Treaspasses by Louise Kennedy in two days. It was brilliant. Hope you feel better soon OP, we all have the lurgy at the minute so not pleasant

I have enjoyed Bob Mortimer’s Satsuma Complex and Avocado Hotel. I read them in his voice.

The lion the witch and the wardrobe. It’s like a comfort blanket to me

Bad Brides, by Rebecca Chance. Modern-day Jilly Cooper type book.

I couldn't finish it either, nor Butter. I had that one out of the library twice too!

On the other hand I also read Strange Sally Diamond in 1 day.

My husband is listening to the audio books of this at the moment and I listened to some of it on a 3 hour car journey, it's great!

Oh, I really like this author but just could not get into that one!

I want to read this one.

Agree with so many of the suggestions. I recently read The List of Suspicious Things which was a great, uplifting and nostalgic read.

The Tent, The Bucket, and Me by Emma Kennedy.

The Maeve Kerrigan books by Jane Casey

This is what I was going to suggest. Excellent crime series with nicely described relationships between characters.

Ooh, yes! Me too. Wonderful, angry book.

I’m saving this for my long haul flight at the end of the month .
