For the love of God find me something to read

[LEMtheoriginal]

I need a page Turner that will hold my attention.

Will give anything a go just no mis lit

I’m currently reading the new book by Robert Harris - Munich - and am finding it very page-turnery!
And I’ve got the new Philip Pullman - The Book of Dust - lined up next...

Dangerous crossing

randomer I've literally just finished that, really enjoyed it.

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. One of my most favorite books of all time and best of all it's all real history. Amazing read.

I've thought of another one. The hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet. Just an all round lovely read.

Archangel by Robert Harris is a good read. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. The Passage by Justin Cronin for a bit of dystopian type. The Blind Assassin is my favourite Margaret Atwood. I know what you mean about page turners - it's hard to struggle through a book, I'd rather be swept away, and sometimes I just want a bit of easy reading.

The Book of Ebezener Le Page is wonderful, too.

Elizabeth Stroud - My name is Lucy Barton - is wonderful
if you do not know Gabaldon - Outlander - it is magic

Christodora by Tim Murphy kept me up far too late last night.

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara it’s very heavy going though and couldn’t read another book for some time after

For really easy read (and got me back into reading) Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty very easy to get in to and so are her other books

I found girl with the dragon tattoo series very tedious

The Bone People by Keri Holme.

Gloriana by Michael Moorcock.

The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry.

Handmaidens tale
the miniaturist.

Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series
Jody Taylor St Mary's series

Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series. I've just finished reading 'Burr', about Thomas Jefferson's vice-president Aaron Burr. A mix of history and fiction, and absolutely fascinating. Unfortunately, none of them are available for Kindle, just in paperback.

Erin Kelly does some great page turners.

Anotherprosecco and Stepaway you just named 2 of my all time top 10 books, one after the other!

I'd recommend anything by McEwan and Donna Tartt's "The Goldfinch" is great too.

I've just finished "Moonglow" by Michael Charbon, which was a terrific read. I also love the "Slow Horses" series by Mick Herron - darkly funny, idiosyncratic spy thrillers with great characterisation and good plots.

Anything by Sarah Waters. I'd recommend Fingersmith to start. Amazing twisting storyline I've never been so gripped by a book.

Martine Bailey - "the penny heart" and "appetite for violets". She's brilliant, I ended up 3 tube stops too far away from work reading one of hers!

Outlander series
Shardlow books by c j Sansom
Jack reacher by Lee childs
Fitz books by Robin hobb
Brandyn sanderson books
Jude the Obscure
Ken Follett's Kingsbridge series

The Luminaries - Eleanor Catton
The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint - Brady Udall

I agree with LadyInCement about The Miniaturist. I loved all that I had read about the premise of it and was so disappointed as it was such an anticlimax with no substance to it.

Yes to Daphne du Maurier - Jamaica Inn is brilliant as pp said but also try My Cousin Rachel and of course Rebecca.

Someone else who I think is overlooked nowadays is Monica Dickens. Her novels are beautifully written with good storylines and very interesting characters. There's loads of them - you could try Mariana, Kate and Emma, Joy and Josephine, Thursday Afternoons....she also wrote some autobiographical stuff about her time as a nurse and a servant which are interesting for their social history (One Pair of Hands and One Pair of Feet).

The Chronicles of St Mary's by Jodi Taylor. Start with "Just One Damned Thing After Another".

And "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman

Wodehouse - unless you have stitches and must not laugh!

And a couple of oldies but my favourites - "A Town Like Alice" by Nevil Shute. And "In This House of Brede" by Rumer Godden.

Agree with the pp who said Sarah Waters - her books are amazing..!
