Currently Enjoying Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter and my book of choice is always a good thriller, either psychological or criminal. We share the same name, I just wish I could write as well as she does, but second best is reading someone else's clever plots with their twists and turns. Following these plots helps keep me on my toes.

Where do you start? There are so many excellent crime writers. I'm a big fan of Val Mcdermid and I found A Place of Execution by her to be chilling. I enjoy crime and thriller novels when I am wrong footed and who I was sure the baddy was, was wrong! I also like some kind of resolution at the end and a sense of completion. I like the detective to be complex in some way and I want to sympathise with them.

I enjoy reading thrillers. I like Harlan Cobens's books. I particularly enjoyed Gone for Good. It was very clever and kept my interest throughout. These writers are very clever.

I love any crime novels or dark psychological thrillers, the more gruesome the better! But the plot needs to be believable and not too far fetched or too disjointed. I particularly like to read a series of books with the same lead characters in them so if I find one I enjoy, I then binge read others by the same author. I have read all the Karin Slaughter novels after being introduced to her books by my book club. I am currently enjoying the Anderson and Costello thrillers by Caro Ramsey which are set around Glasgow. I tend to read thrillers set in the present day rather than historical ones as I can relate better to the characters and settings.

So many good ones, can’t remember them all.

I’ll plump for ‘Close To Home’ by Cara Hunter.

Just fascinated by the way the authors work out all the plot lines really, keeping you hooked until the last page.

Love reading thrillers, as it gives my brain some outing. Actually prefer historic ones as none of the problems with forensics, etc. and it remains totally unreal for me.
Like so many people The Murder of Roger Ackroyd remains one of the best and cleverest of thrillers, closely matched by ABC Murders.
