I recently read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and was surprised that I could enjoy a book where I didn't really like any of the main characters. It's a fascinating story that I highly recommend.

My favorite mysteries are the Flavia DeLuce books by Alan Bradley. They're cozy mysteries told from the POV of a very precocious and charming 11 year-old. Very enjoyable.

One of my top thriller/suspense novel is . I loved the movie but LOVE the book. It gave me chills and Harris has this way of making his characters so realistic it makes it seem like a true crime book.

I've never heard of him but will check out my library and see if they have this book.

I just finished Shadow Man by Cody McFadyen and it had one of the most chilling serial killers I've come across in awhile. Even better was the series namesake, Smoky Barrett, a female FBI agent heading a Violent Crimes Unit in LA. Very interesting and complex character.

I recently read By Karin Slaughter and I highly recomment it. It was my first read by this author and will not be my last. One of the best suspense/thrillers I have ever read.

I second the Smoky Barrett series - very raw and gritty and as Jonetta says very chilling! I love how the characters grow as the series continues and we get to know more about them.

I love Karin Slaughter...great flawed characters, and suspenseful plots. I recommend you read her novels chronologically versus by series. They are all connected.

is also another chilling book. The story still stays with me. It is a trilogy but I have not yet read the other two books. It was also made into a movie with Richard Gere and the fabulous Edward Norton.

I've been trying to get this done as a group read since you first suggested it.

I would be willing to vote for it as I need to reread if I plan to read the next 2 books.

I just finished Tin God by Stacy Green and thought it was excellent. It is my second book by this author and I'm now a big fan of her writing style.

This is where I'd put it!
