Recommend some really good books.

[TooYoungToKnowTooOldToCare]

An extended, health-related period of bedrest is looming.

Prior warning: I average 150 - 200 books a year some of them are audio books, even so that's thousands of books. If I reply saying thank you, I have read it' I'm not being ungrateful.

Life is too short pile:
I'm sorry, I don't like sci-fi or fantasy.

With all of the above in mind, please can you recommend your desert island books?

In particular I enjoy mystery/thriller/suspense. I like good family dramas, tear-jerkers, occasionally romances, I mean Marian Keyes, not the Mills and Boon type.
Additionally, I like T Jenkins Reid and other women's genre fiction, though I prefer that kind of fiction with some bite. Dawn O'Porter and Nicholas Nicholls (the One Day author) and similar.

Series, single books, any good ideas (and painkillers) appreciated.

The Five by Hallie Rubenhold.

The best I've read in the last 5 years.

I always go for Jeeves and Wooster when I'm ill. Or a nice bit of Douglas Adams.

I really like William Boyd at the moment. If you haven't read Any Human Heart, try it. If you have, try his latest, The Romantic, which is similar but set in 19th c rather than 20th c.
