I just recently discovered this style of book and am thoroughly enjoying them. Totally different to my usual books. I started off with Mark Edwards books and have read a few others since then. Anyone got any suggestions worth adding to my kindle wish list :)

Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes (v.good)
Before I Go To Sleep by S J Watson (didn't enjoy this)
Girl on a Train (forgotten author's name, but it's everywhere - you'll find it :o)

I quite like Sophie Hannah's book, though they do get a little same year after a while.

StUmbrageinSkelt · 28/05/2015 08:48

Tana French is marvellous.

I've added a few of those thanks Smile

the ones that are a series do you need to read all of them or in sequence.

I've added them to my wish list to watch for the price going down Blush

I love all of those books Duchess any other recommendations?

Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine (not so much the Inspector Wexfords).
Anita Shreve
Blue Eyed Boy (think the author is Joanne Harris).
Enduring Love.

Dorothy koomson books too x

I am reading The Husbands Secret by Liane Mortarty. It's fab so far. Lots of Australian wit and a bit of a whodunit in there.
What I like most is that the 'action' is from 3 different characters, so you get to see each of them from the other one's eye.

Like Sophie Hannah, but feel like she's stretching things out to the absurd nowadays.
Nicci French books are always quite fun.

Fionajaneblushes · 28/05/2015 16:51

Another good one is The Book of You by Claire Kendall.

Have thought of three more - they are a loosely connected trilogy -

Blacklands, Dark Side, and Finders Keepers - all by Belinda Bauer. You do need to read them in order. I made the mistake of reading the second one first, not realising it was a sequel and it did spoil the plot of the first one, which I have since read.

They are all set in a small village on Exmoor and are deliciously creepy and very well written.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 28/05/2015 19:12

Another vote for the Mary Torjussen ones - I loved them.

Goandplay · 29/05/2015 17:10

I have loved all of Liane Mortarty's books. Especially Little Big Lies. You know from the beginning that someone has died but you don't know who until very close to the end. Such a good book, I couldn't put it down and found myself thinking about the characters even when I wasn't reading it.

HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 29/05/2015 19:55

The Farm by Tom Rob Smith- gripping, something completely different

JillBYeats · 29/05/2015 23:04

Unravelling Oliver by Liz Nugent.

NutellaOnCrumpets · 01/06/2015 09:15

Room - can't remember the author think it was something Irish sounding . Very gripping I read it in about 2-3 days which is very quick for me!

What Have I Done? - again can't remember author sorry Blush v.v.vgood.

I'm 3/4 through Girl on a Train - Paula Hawkins. LOVE IT!

NKfell · 01/06/2015 18:19

*Girl on THE Train (obviously haven't read the front cover properly!)

JillBYeats · 01/06/2015 22:34

Room was by Emma Donoghue (another vote for it - excellent)

CQ · 01/06/2015 22:39

Anything by Minette Walters. All fab. Sadly she's not written anything new for a few years

I find other thrillers all a bit lightweight after hers Hmm

I am a lifelong bookworm and usually read historical (fact and fiction) holocaust survival and everyday people autobiographies.

A friend's sister avidly reads Mills and Boon, and has just given me some old ones, all set in Viking/Medieval times as far as I can see.

Anyone know if they'd be any good for light reading, or should I just give them to a charity shop?

Oops, just realised I have posted this in totally the wrong thread!

Sorry, I meant to start a new thread, how do you get something moved to the correct place?
