I think I will enjoy them all. Have you read any of the Frieda Klein Series by Nicci French? They are awesome psychological thriller's set in London, and tell the story of psychologist Frieda and all the crazy crime around her. For people enjoying crime books I cannot stop recomending these ones...Susetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975070997362373543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-75289024940228216722016-07-05T15:47:15.608-07:002016-07-05T15:47:15.608-07:00 i am with you on the anti-ghost thing. will not ... i am with you on the anti-ghost thing. will not touch them with a ten foot pole. downloading my name is lucy barton right now!

Just finished a mystery/...Love your reading posts!<br /><br />Just finished a mystery/thriller Before the Fall by Noah Hawley. Really good, interesting premise. Private plane full of people (some very powerful) disappears minutes after taking off from Martha's Vineyard. Only two survive, a little boy and a painter who has recently painted a series of disasters, including a plane crash. The story alternates between flashbacks of each person on the plane and the current investigation into the crash.

I may have recommended this in a comment here before, but The Kind Worth Killing is one of the most enjoyable thrillers I've read in a while. I'm reading He Will Be My Ruin right now, lots of good reviews, so far I'm not too sure about it though. Disappointing about the Rosamund Lupton, because I also loved her first two (especially Sister).

My Kindle is sitting in my bag on my desk and I am so tempted to sneak a chapter in! Have you read Mary Kubica? I loved The Good Girl, but her other two (Pretty Baby and Don't You Cray) left me very disappointed. Keep reading and writing!
