There is a series called the King Killer Chronical by Patrick Rothfuss, the first book is called The Name of the wind. My husband recommended them and I couldn't put them down.

I’ve just read ‘Circe’ by Madeline Miller. I enjoyed it from start to finish and was sad when I finished! Reading her other book the Song of Achilles now

I've binged my way through all of JP Delaneys books, he writes very twisty thrillers and the chapters are only a page or two long so it keeps you wanting more and more.

I loved the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo

The dinner guest is a 'who done it' sort of book and will keep you guessing

Same with 'the couple next door'

Visit the library and see what they have for adults. Alternatively you can go and see what sort of adult books are on sale at your local bookshop etc. You can even find many different books on Amazon and at book fairs and in garden centers too. Another option is to search for books at museums, theater gift shops, you can find some that way as well.

You might also see if you can find books in other ways. Some house owners like to do a random book swap during which you can pick up free books. Facebook MarketPlace sell lots of old books and you can get some.
