Thriller Recommendation. Help me run, please!

[EspressoX10]

I recently realised that I prefer listening to audiobooks, rather than music, during my long runs.

They do, however, need to be tense, engaging and gripping (to help pass the time and make me forget about the kms ahead).

I'm not particular about style/genre, but the writing needs to be decent.

Can anyone recommend something suitable, please?

Apologies, I had paragraphs there!

I also like to run to audiobooks, though i tend towards nonfiction as otherwise my speed changes depending on the narrative tension

Recent fiction which has entertained me though - Lock In, John Scalzi which is kind of a sci fi thriller, and Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers Of London series which is set in the Met's magical crime department

Zoe Sharp, both her Charlie Fox series and stand-alones.

Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books.

Linwood Barclay.

A sort of mix between an action thriller and urban fantasy, Craig Schaefer’s Harmony Black series.

For a real classic ‘rogue Male’ written late thirties. On so many best books lists. I listen to it every year or so. Amazing book.
Recently listened to
secret service by Tom bradby.
Restless by William Boyd
Our friend in Berlin by Anthony Quinn.

All excellent. Espionage/thriller.

The lost man by Jane harper. .set in the Australian outback....its really good!

Oh ‘the lost man’ does look good - now on my audible wish list

Op I’ve also listened to a few Ken Folletts recently. Was surprised I enjoyed them as have for some reason always thought I wouldn’t ifykwim.

How to disappear. Fast paced and narrated by Nicola walker from spooks and the split, took

Thank you so much for all the recommendations; lots of authors I wasn't familiar with, so plenty to discover!

Three Hours, Rosamund Lupton. Really properly page turning.

@ScorpioSphinxInACalicoDress I am reading Three Hours on your recommendation and loving it.

I want to get to the end but yet I don't if that makes sense!

The Nothing Man by Catherine Ryan Howard is hands down the best thriller I’ve read this year (and I’ve read a lot!) It’s a high concept book that delivers on every level. Clever, gripping, and genuinely scary at parts. A good book to run to in daylight!

(Two narrative POV. One a (fictionalised) true crime book by a woman who survived an attack on her family by a serial killer when she was a child. The other a late middle aged security guard who is said serial killer... The POV alternate and it unfolds so cleverly).

@FiveShelties, oh good! I was going to wait till her others become 99p kindles but might treat muself to proper books. So refreshing to have a thriller without a best-friend-goes-psycho trope!

The Orphan X books - love them!

I really enjoyed listening to Black Widow by Chris Brookmyre.
