and I am not sure if I should count this one or not......Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. I have seen other readers refer to it as a cozy mystery. To me it was a Nicholas Sparks type of romance with elements of suspense thrown in......so maybe I will count it! Yeah....I am going to count it so I end with an even 30!!!
Which ones have been your favorite? I love thrillers! :)
ReplyDeleteTough question...lol!
ReplyDeleteThe Insider by Reece Hirsch was a great legal thriller. I loved it. I could not believe it was a debut novel, and I can not wait to read more from him!!
The Storm Front Trilogy by Sharon Sala ( Blown Away, Torn Apart, Swept Aside) was great romantic suspense!
Smoke Screen and Smash Cut by Sandra Brown were really good!!
Mister X by John Lutz was great! I thought I had it figured out, and then I thought I was wrong, and suspected someone else, MANY times! It kept me guessing. It was GREAT!! I just found out that it is #5 in a series, though it can be read as a standalone! (now I NEED to find the other 4!)
Still Missing was fantastic!! Can be a little hard for some readers as there is a bit of violence, and tough subject matter. not too graphic in my opinion. I would highly recommend this one too! (also a debut!)
