What are you favorite books in mystery/suspense? Have you read any of these? I love getting suggestions of what to read next!
I really liked Reconstructing Amelia--in fact, it's a book I'll probably re-read at some point because I think I missed some things first time around! I liked Defending Jacob, too.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to try The Dinner by Koch--it's filled with rather unlikeable characters, but it's a good suspense story in that you're never quite sure what to believe as the narration goes on.
Oh that sounds interesting! I'll definitely have to check it out! I like books that I can't figure out the ending to; sometimes its easier than others, but when I'm stumped, I like it. Thanks :)
DeleteOoh nice! Those are new to me ones! I admit though I do like a good mystery! Usually it's coupled with paranormal traits or threads! Got a few of those series lined up that I read though and oh so love!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday post

I don't read a ton of paranormal books, but I'd love to read some more, especially since they seem so popular lately! Thanks for stopping by (:
DeleteGreat list. I really enjoyed Reconstructing Amelia too.
ReplyDeleteYes! It was really good and I was pleasantly surprised! (:
