Book recommendations for my holiday please

[cheeseisthebest]

Off on holiday abroad this week, first time in 5 years. I'm planning to do nothing except read and need some ideas please!
I love thrillers and books that are very easy to get into. I like Diane chamberlain and CL Taylor at the moment but feel like I just want to read something wonderful rather than something that's ok. Kate Atkinson, Curtis Sittenfield and Erin Kelley are other authors I like.

Where are you going? Maybe something set there?
I was in Rome last summer and read Conclave which was excellent. Dastardly goings on during the voting of a new Pope.

I'm going to Spain

The Heatwave - Kate Riordan
The Cult - Abby Davies
Three Hours - Rosemary Lupton

Three books I’ve really enjoyed recently.

[cheeseisthebest]

Thank you.

[Riverlee]

Conclave by Richard Harris? Really good book.

[HilaryThorpe]

The Seamstress by Maria Duenas. Brilliant book set at the time of the Civil War in Spain.

[SpideySenseTingles]

Once there were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. It's a murder mystery/thriller set in Scotland where a conservation group is piloting a project to reintroduce wolves in to the Highlands

[cheeseisthebest]

Thank you.

The Push by Ashley Audrain

[cheeseisthebest]

My husband just bought the push for his holiday book!

[catchingzzzeds]

I can't put it down!

[MrsEricBana]

Commonwealth by Anne Patchett if you like Kate Atkinson

[beccahamlet]

The Lamplighters. Emma Stonex. Page turner. 3 men disappear off a lighthouse.

[cheeseisthebest]

Thank you. Started the push, can't put it down either! Be great for the plane!

[catchingzzzeds]

I'm so glad you're enjoying it, have a fab holiday!

I've also finished The Heatwave that a pp mentioned - it's gripping.
Jodi Picoult is similar to Diane Chamberlain. I've also enjoyed some of Louise Candlish's.

[cheeseisthebest]

Just finished it, what a fantastic book!

[catchingzzzeds]

I've finished it too, LOVED it!
Now reading The Thursday Murder Club, I'm enjoying it but you know when you've read a book that you've been totally lost in and the next one just feels… meh?

I'm rereading loads of Ruth Rendell's Wexford books at the mo - cheap on Kindle. Slightly dated in some ways but she is always superb on human nature and relationships and even the early books are a bit different from what you might expect.

Trip Fiction is good for fiction related to your location.

[Chelsea26]

I am Pilgrim is fantastic

If you like historical thrillers (very much based on fact) then any of Con Iggulden’s series are great, from memory he’s done Caesar, Genghis Khan and the War of the Roses - maybe another one too

I also love Wilber Smith

Slightly left field but there’s a book called Sarum which takes you from pre-historic times to the mid 1980’s through the stories of various families in Salisbury - that was epic!

If you wanted something lighter but easy to rattle through and entertaining Lee Child’s Reacher books are great beach reads I think!
