I devour the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child.Can’t put them down and enjoy when the baddies get their comeuppance.

I love the escapism of thrillers, and the comfort they bring - in an odd way. However things are in my life, at least I'm not one of the poor souls in the book I'm reading!

I'm a Stephen King fan, but I also really enjoyed Gone Girl. I know it has its detractors, but (I won't give spoilers!) I liked it in large part for the very things it's criticized for. I liked a female character being in that role for a change.

I love Phil Rickman's Merrily Watkins books. The books are crime based, but she's a deliverance minister (exorcist) so they have a supernatural twist to them.

My favourite thriller book is The Girl On The Train. I love how gripping thrillers are.

I always used to read a lot of books when I was small. Since I have retired I have start to read again like a lot of thrillers find them exciting to finish them then I pass them on to a charity. At the moment I am reading The Stranger's Wife written by Anna Lou Weatherley. It is a very good read cannot put it down.

I don't read such thrillers, so I don't have a favourite.

I love Donna Leon's Commissario, Guido Brunetti books. They give a flavour of Venice-such a lovely city and a mystery to solve. I like crime novels with a bit of psychological insight and more than just a simple crime, a flawed detective, and some characters with problems helps a lot.

I am a great Stephen King fan. Once I have one of his books in my hand it never gets put down.

I really loved reading Kathy Reichs books, then seeing how different they were on tv. The I stopped reading for quite some time as I was otherwise preoccupied but during lockdown I read 'Bird Box' by Josh Malerman. I'd tried watching it but couldn't get into it but the book was really good! Since then I've gotten back into books and have read a couple more of Malerman's books and am currently reading 'Malorie', the sequel to 'Bird Box'. I also read a 'Railway Mystery' which was very good! So I guess I'm back into reading again, and my imagination of the characters and places is coming back tenfold and I cannot complain!

There is such a varied range! Sometimes I want the cosiness of MC Beaton or Caroline Graham, at others I prefer Mark Billingham or Val McDermid’s tension.
My favourites have to include Ellis Peter’s Brother Cadfael series. However my absolute favourite book is Gentleman and Players by Joanne Harris, one of the few that I re-read for her style, characterisation, and sheer cleverness!

The Girl On the Train. I love a good twisty thriller that shocks me with every unexpected turn of the plot

Girl on a train - just so unexpected!

I tend to alternate between nice cosy family sagas, optimistic stories of setting up cake shops and a really gritty thriller that has me page turning into the small hours. I've recently discovered Karin Slaughter and she's already on my "Must Read" list

I cannot sleep without reading a few chapters from a thriller. It keeps on edge and suspense. I can't wait to see the characters interact with motives beyond your original thought. I love a great twist.
The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith was brilliant. I loved the film version, too. To me, it is a very sad, poignant book about a character who is hopelessly lost as what he desire always alludes to him.

I love the girl with the dragon tattoo

I am in to crime thrillers and usually read Karen rose and Lynda de plant but looking forward to read Karen slaughter

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was my first of this genre and I was hooked - the excitement of the denouement and the thrill of unravelling the plot yourself

I love piecing together the clues in crime novels and trying to work out who the guilty party is. I think my favourite is Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke

There are so many I have enjoyed reading over the past decade, so it is difficult to pick a specific one from a long list. The most recent one I have enjoyed reading was The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. The thing I most like about reading thrillers is the excitement and suspense, not knowing what is likely to happen next.

Guilty Wives by James Patterson. Love reading them for all the suspense and twists and turns and trying to work the plot out

Daisy in Chains - by Sharon Bolton - although I worked out who it was early on - I love twists and turns, I prefer to be completely suprised by the ending, even though I love trying to work out who dunnit

I just recently read Find Them Dead by Peter James which was a good read. There are so many it is hard to choose!

Love thrillers. Harlan Cobens's books stand out

My favourite books are the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache books by Louise Penny.
I love reading thrillers as I love to try and solve "who done it".

Michael Connelly The Black Echo.
Brilliant it introduced me to the series of Harry Bosch.
I feel the characters are alive and there are twists at the end
I thoroughly recommend this book
