I need a gripping, totally in your face you can't put it down book!

[hk1993x]

Hi all

I'm being admitted to hospital for a few weeks and was looking for some books to take with me.

Nothing sad. I like stuff like "this is going to hurt" or a guilty pleasure something naughty and dramatic.

Any recommendations please x

I'm reading Big Little Lies by Lianne Moriarty. I have no idea what's going to happen to who but in a good way.
Not in a confused way whereby I think I've not read properly!

It's got me gripped anyway. I like her books.

Good luck btw x

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. You may find yourself having to read the whole thing in one go.

American Dirt
Jeanine Cummings

Gone Girl and The Girl On The Train had me absolutely gripped.

The Quickening, Tallulah Riley

American Dirt is a gripping read.

None of this is true by Lisa Jewell

I read both of these multiple times. I'm still not sure what makes them so good, but I've struggled to find anything else as good.

The detective lola Harris series by Daniel Sellers is brilliant and un-put-down-able. Murder in the Gallowgate and Murder in Lovers' Lane.

They are so well written and suspenseful I couldn't put them down at all! I think a third one is coming out soon.

American Dirt definitely

Crazy Rich Asians and the two sequels fit the bill!

I can also recommend American Dirt

I read Daisy Jones and the Six in one setting.

Really enjoyed Mrs England recently and I only read it through a recommendation and wouldn’t have usually picked it

My book club has just done Notes On An Execution - utterly brilliant. We all loved it and read it quickly. I found it unputdownable and was so absorbed. It's the best writing I've read in years.

Into the Darkest Corner. A real page turner, very tense.

In the blink of an eye - Jo Callaghan. There's a sequel due out in next few days too...

Lisa Jewell None of this is True.

Anything by Jean Christophe Grangé. The originals are in french but most are available in english. Je has his own way of looking at things. The first one I read was about negative near death experiences and I was reading until 2am to find a safe place to stop.

Oh yes, Elizabeth Haynes books are good. Into the Darkest Corner was a real page turner, read it years ago and remember passing it on to my sister!

Also, Lie with me by Sabine Durrant is great.

I was really gripped by ink black heart by Robert Galbraith
Rare that happens for me these days

Lessons in chemistry

You is very gripping and also dark funny

anything by Taylor Jenkins reed

Behind Closed Doors by B A Paris is very gripping! Also quite scary. I read it in 2 sittings, felt like it was impossible to put it down!

Both by Will Dean,

The Last Passenger, and
The Last Thing to Burn

I’ve just read all the Slow Horses books - they were excellent. Best of luck in hospital

Another vote for Girl on the Train
