Amy The Last Flight by Julie Clark. Two women trying to escape from their lives meet in an airport and exchange identities. Then the plane goes down.

I also highly recommend Thunderhead by Preston & Child that I just finished. Nobody can write a suspense story like these two! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

J.J. I'm reading The Murder of Mary Russell by Laurie R. King. If you love Holmes, you may find yourself, like me, devouring this series like it's Harry Potter.


message 73: by Will (new)

Will Byrnes It is coincidental to Mystery & Thriller Week, but, after a spate of non-fics, I am in the midst of a mystery/thriller/suspense run. I recently posted my review of The Drowning Kind, am working on my review of When the Stars Go Dark for Friday posting, and am currently reading Mother May I and The Perfect Daughter. All are worthwhile, even the ones I have yet to finish.

Adam Harvey These Four Walls

I love reading thrillers and have even self-published my own novel. It's a psychological thriller and I am hoping for some honest reviews. It's only 99p if anyone fancies reading.
