Louise Penny is my top author right now. Anything by her is excellent on many levels, including a suspenseful mystery to be solved

I've been reading Murder on the Orient express by Agatha Christie.

I agree. ATTWN is my favorite of hers.

Wonder if anyone's read Harlan Coben's Tell No One. That too is a very fast-paced gripping thriller.

Just finished reading "The Woman in the Window" by AJ Finn. Managed to give me a few chills!

I'm reading Dan Brown's Origin so I'm pretty sure that counts!

I just finished The Wife by Alafair Burke and it kept me guessing until the end! Worth a read if you’ve been into the domestic thriller vein lately as I have.

Not only do cozy mysteries count. I think they are must-reads! I love them!"

On behalf of all cozy mystery writers, I thank you!

The best Romance Young Adult Paranormal book is unforgiven by lauren kate.

It is as best as it comes

I'm reading The Husband's Secret by Lianne Moriarty.

TOTALLY AGREE!

I'm reading the Cormoran Strike series by J.K. Rowling and loving it!

I'm finishing L'Âme du mal.

I'm starting it today too! Received it for Christmas and am finally getting to it now!

I'm reading "Chameleon People" by Hans Olav Lahlum.
So far so good once you get used to the Scandi Names

How about a Tudor/historical fiction thriller? Dare to dance with a female poison assassin?

Apricots and Wolfsbane

My favourite mystery writer is Robert Galbraith (J. K. Rowling), and therefore my favourite crime fiction series is the Cormoran Strike series. I am eagerly awaiting the release of 'Lethal White' which is going to be the next one in the series.

Among my recent reads, I enjoyed Val McDermid's 'Trick of the Dark' quite a lot.

Hi all
Is there anyone to talk about his experience writing this type of novel? How does it succeed in writing it?

The Yiddish Policemen's Union

A smart political thriller with a "hard-boiled" hero who has more to him than first meets the eye. Oh, it's also alternate history.

How is "Let Me Lie" so far ?

I HIGHLY recommend the book Underbelly by Karen Crawford. It is a super murder mystery and you will not be disappointed by this first time author. This book will keep you guessing at every turn and you will love the characters. Check it out!!

Reading "Tennison" by Lynda La Plante right now! After this one is finished I'll probably pick up "Hidden Killers"!

I love Mystery/Thrillers so much! Tennison

Estaré leyendo: Un trago antes de la guerra (1994) de Dennis Lehane.

I am currently reading The Adventuress (A Lady Emily Mystery) by Tasha Alexander. The earlier books in the series were good but then the plots became too outlandish in subsequent books, at least in my opinion. As I had already downloaded this book, I decided to give the series another try. So far I am enjoying the book.

Just want to add, that I admire those of you who are able to read more than one book at a time. Kudos!

I notice that all of those reading suggestions are in English. If any Goodreads readers here who enjoy thrillers, crime & mystery novels can read any French and are curious, I humbly suggest you have a glance at my novel, Le Chercheur d'âme (meaning The Soulseeker). It is a serial killer story that happens in Quebec, where I live.

You will find reviews of it here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

So far, so good: it is rated 4.11 by Goodreads members!

Have fun!

Sad to see that there isn't a list of cozy mysteries :(

I'm really excited about this week, my fav genre...all set for it😃📖

My latest favorite mystery is Magpie Murders. Agatha Christie and PBS British mystery lovers will enjoy this novel.

Coincidentally I've actually been playing a computer game based on Christie's ABC Murders, does that count? ;)

Kara Istanbul! It is translated into English and Croatian under the same title, Istanbul Noir! One of my favourite Authors, Barış Müstecaplıoğlu has a story inside of the book. Check it out, people! Worth every minute!

I favor the incredible government assassin Noah Wolf as depicted by David Archer. Most recent edition Highest Order.
JR

Another slightly disturbed government created wet boy is Nick Woods whose usually vengeful adventures, cleverly told by Stan R. Mitchell keep the reader in suspense and anxious for more.

I'm reading thunder creek by Jill Gregory and will be reading book three of the Sinclair mysteries called the mystery of the painted dragon.

currently in the middle of writing an erotic thriller which will be released sometime in the next few months!

Good luck with. I wish you great success with your new book.

I kinda like to solve mysteries along the characters, I’ve read some Sherlock Holmes, and quite some Meitantei Konan (sadly, the characters often solve it from information not available to the reader) and Tantei Gakuen Q (anime-only AFAIK, but easier to decipher).

Little Monsters! I got my copy last week and will be reading it this weekend, but you have to know I've been wanting to read it for months!

This evening I finished The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, and plan to read Christie's Death in the Clouds and Endless Night.

I read lots of mysteries. This week, I'm reading Turning the Tide by Edith Maxwell and It's Your Party, Die If You Want To by Vickie Fee. On audio, I'm starting to listen to "J" is for Judgment by Sue Grafton.

Dying for Dinner Rolls << What I read.

Finishing Det Første Skritt by Hanna Winsnes from 1844

Am reading a debut by Karen Hamilton, The Perfect Girlfriend.... I'm down to the last 50pages..crazy twisted & fun!

There are a lot of them. I try to read at least one of her books every summer and read the first Poirot appearance a few months ago. I don't think you need to read them in chronological order as I've rarely found references between the stories.

Shot to Pieces
Roll the Dice

The first is a wonderful police procedural with a flawed hero cop, Paddy Durr, out to solve a murder and fix his own life.
Roll the Dice is a political drama about a rock and roll hall of fame star running for the senate and the intrigue behind his campaign.

I'm starting Called Home by Melissa F. Miller - my favourite thriller writer. I finished the previous one in the series yesterday Calculated Risk and as the next one is out... I'm jumping straight in.

Reading A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie, been wanting to read it for a while

I recommend This Pen for Hire, and most of its sequels.
