| I don't have genre-specific requirements, just want engrossing. I usually tend toward novels with a mystery/suspense type of plot or a compelling story of some sort...and I usually stick to NYT best sellers and what's popular because I never know what to choose. I read Girl on the Train and was interested but not obsessed. Thought Gone Girl was better but still lacked something...maybe depth, I don't know. Any ideas/recs for me? |

| Try David Benioff's "City of Thieves" about a couple of guys who are compelled to go on a quest during the siege of Leningrad (WWII). Loved it. |

| Tana French or Kate Atkinson mysteries! I also love Kate Atkinson's non-mystery novels, especially Life After Life. |

| +1 for Kate Atkinson. FWIW, I loved Life After Life but wouldn't necessarily call it a page turner. |

| Have you read The Underfround Railroad (National Book Award winner) or The Sympathizer (Pulitzer) yet? Both fantastic of course. |

I just wrapped up "The Whistleblower" by John Grisham last night.
Couldn't put it down while reading it. After his last few flops, the man finally got back on his A-game. Love the suspense in this one.

Anything by Erik Larson is a compelling read if you're interested in page turning non-fiction.
"In the Garden of Beasts" was incredible and suspenseful. In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin https://www.amazon.com/dp/030740885X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fnZvyb2FBJAM9 |

Second rec for Tana French. The Murder Squad series is great!
The Secret History by Donna Tartt is a good mystery. Anything by Val McDermid |
