Need some recommendations please!

I'm going to be digesting these as both books and audiobooks.

Prefer those set in the UK, although I've recently listened to Stephen King's DI Hodges series and really love those. Quite heavy going though.

Any recommendations please?

Dorothy Koomson, Liane Moriaty (Australian though), Dan Brown (American though), Jeffrey Archer.
And the one I’m reading now is a decent psychological thriller - hang on and I’ll just google the name of it.

It’s Take Me In by Sabine Durrant. About a couple who fear they’re being stalked by a man who rescues their toddler from drowning. The first few pages are set on a holiday in Greece, I think it is, but after that they return home to London.

Tana French the Dublin Murder series. Fab series and I also love Lisa Jewell.

I also like Celia Ahern. If you like Lisa Jewells early stuff you may also like Hane Greens early stuff, Jemima J, Mr Maybe, Babyville etc. And Adele Parks is very good as well. All chic lit but not all mills and boony.

Depends if you prefer the pyschological stuff LJ has done or the early chic lit stuff.

Jane Green, not Hane Green 🙈

I hadn’t heard of Shalini BolaNd but just looked her up on Amazon and she looks good so will look out for her 👍🏼

Thanks for all the recommendations - starting with the Sabine Durrant one!

I’m 4/5 of the way through it. It’s a real page turner, despite the couple not being particularly likeable.
I like the way they’re not sure if the man who saved their child really is stalking them or if it’s just their imagination running wild.
Looking forward to seeing how it ends.

Ooh I like Lisa Jewell and Shalini Boland and I've just this evening finished a book called The Book Club by CJ Cooper - I really enjoyed it and it was only 99p on Kindle. Smile

I'm about to start one called Through The Wall by Caroline Cocoran, I'm hoping its a good one.
