You all know how much I love thrillers and mysteries.
(even though I get burnt out once in a while)
I thought I’d share the top ten titles that I’m really looking forward to reading in the next few weeks. Feel free to advise me on which one to read first.
“Entry Island” by Peter May
“The gift” by Louise Jensen
“The doll funeral” by Kate Hamer
“Seas of snow” by Kerensa Jennings
“The darkest lies” by Barbara Copperthwaite
“Persons unknown” by Susie Steiner
“The missing ones” by Patricia Gibney
“The long drop” by Denise Mina
“Local girl missing” by Claire Douglas
“The girl who was taken” by Charlie Donlea
If you have any opinion about which one(s) I should read first, let me know in the comments.
For your information, of the several thrillers I’ve already read in 2017 my five favorites so far are:
“The bird tribunal” by Agnes Ravatn
“I see you” by Clare Mackintosh
“The beautiful dead” by Belinda Bauer
“Gone without a trace” by Mary Torjussen
“At the heart of the missing” by Annie Daylon
(My reviews are linked to the titles)

Persons Unknown is great- especially if you liked Missing, Presumed.

“The Gift” was so, so good! I bought her other book immediately after finishing it (but haven’t gotten to it yet). The concept was pretty intriguing.

Read Louise Jensen’s first novel and loved it – so I’m pretty certain I’ll love “The Gift” as well. Thanks for your comment.

Ha-ha! So many opinions. I wish I had more eyes to read with. I expect I will like “The gift” as her first book was a favorite of last year. Also, I’m eager to try Barbara Copperthwaite’s new novel. Thanks for your comment Donna.

I really enjoyed The Long Drop by Denise Mina. As it’s a fictionalised take on real events I knew the outcome which makes it slightly different from most crime/thrillers.

So far “The long drop” and “The girl who was taken” are winning out in the comments. Thanks for ‘weighing in’ Jill.
