Good Mystery/Thriller Book recommendations?

[Anonymous]

I didn't want to hijack the other thread, but am in desperate need of some good thriller/mystery books - the fast-paced kind you can't put down. Anyone have any good recommendations?

[Anonymous]

no, but i'd love to hear any recommendations too!

The Edgars are always a good bet, if you're not familiar with them: http://www.theedgars.com/

I love the Malla Nunn series about a South African detective, the Olen Steinhauer Milo Weaver series, any of the Gillian Flynn or Tana French books.

Do you like spy type mystery/thriller?

I happened to pick up The Counterfeit Agent at the airport recently and enjoyed it. I didn't realize when buying it that its a series about a particular agent. But it stands on its own - you don't need to know about the other books.

I would consider reading some of the "Letter" mysteries by Sue Grafton.

I read one + now I am hooked!!

I even went to a used bookstore in my area and purchased a huge supply of her older books. A-T.

Should keep me occupied for a little while.
