Books question by roast_beef: What books do you suggest reading that are really great thrillers?
I am in the mood to read some thrillers. Any suggestions on any books to read especially any by regular authors (not the big sellers like Michael Chrichton, but not excluding them either). Plus only adult literature as well, not books for teens or kids.
Please don’t just list books, but tell me why they are good that so I have some info to know what I should get.

I love Christopher Pike, Deen Koontz…
You decide!,
Here is a typical chunk of prose from “My Sister’s Keeper.” If you like this sample, you will love this book:
“She pulled me stumbling into a nearby bedroom, shoved me onto my back, and took control [control in italics] of my mind and body. Falling on top me, she redirected the storm raging inside me re-channeling my pain and fury into passion and desire. Icy hatred [italics] melted into flaming love [italics]. For the next hour the fire and the cold swirled through me ripping me apart as she held me down, kissed me, and took me to a final release that shattered every obstacle I had left to becoming the man I was born to be.”

|An impressive first novel,
My Sister’s Keeper is full of suspense and it kept my attention from page one through the very end. Being a coastie, I enjoyed the author’s descriptions of Wilmington and the Cape Fear area. Richard Baimbridge, the lead character, is a complex but naive man who ends up over his head (literally) as he attempts to bring down the bad guy. When the book began, I questioned the level of Richard’s devotion to his sister, even though she is crippled and needs his support. Fortunately, he stumbles upon Sydney, an almost eligible woman who keeps his love interest throughout the novel. The author chose the younger sister of a former girlfriend, which created a good twist in the old versus new love knot. The conflict between Richard and his father is a bit overdone, but his mother is well-depicted as the silent-sufferer and peace-maker in a family torn by tragedy. Richard is set up for a big fall by Ashleigh Matthews, a love/hate character who tries to help her own suffering sibling. Some connections are not as mysterious as the author intended i.e. Winston. Voilence is pervasive throughout the story, but it ends with a high note despite the demise of many innocent victims.

|More than 5 stars!,
This is absolutely a 10 star book!! This is THE best book I’ve read and I read about 2-3 books a week!! It was fast paced…I loved that the chapters are no more than 2-3 pages long. Every chapter had a twist that made this book IMPOSSIBLE to put down! The writing was superb…not a lot of chatty descriptions…it’s a very TO THE POINT style of writing..his grip on the emotions of the characters is right on target and pulls you right in…whether it be fear, anxiety or compassion….one of the key characters is a paraplegic young woman…being one myself I can tell you the character as he wrote her was totally true to form…to read this book was like being a fly on the wall and watching the entire story unfold…a wonderful experience and the story was gripping and real…
Do yourself a favor and don’t miss this one…Bill Benners is the new James Patterson!!

|I would probably suggest Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story gets sort of unpredictable once you start reading it. It is basically about adventure, betrayal and friendship – totally thrilling plot twists.
i tend to like older ones – agatha christie is the best, hands down. “and then there were none,” “the murder of roger ackroyd,” and “witness for the prosecution” are all murder mysteries with really unpredictable, gasp-worthy plot twists.
a newer one that i haven’t finished but find really interesting is “eye contact” by cammie mcgovern. it’s about an autistic boy who witnesses the murder of his friend but is unable to communicate what he saw.
hope this helps!
I love this series because it has a bit of everything! Here’s a link:

I love James Patterson’s Alex Cross series. He uses 2 or 3 page chapters so you fly through…
No Thing Like Harry Booter
i love suspense books like And then there were none, also known as ten little Indian men. This book is a great suspense story. ten people are invited to an island but find no one there to greet them. they soon find out that they are alone on a unknown island in the middle of no where. one by one they all start to die based on a poem that is hanging in their rooms. the great part about this book is you do not know who the murderer id until the end. it is a great mystery novel and i would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read. i also like the House of the Scorpion. this book is a great adventure novel. though it is recommended more for teens, i think that adults would love it too. it is a book about a kid who finds out he is a clone of the main ruler of their country. he thinks that he is like a son to the man but he is really considered an animal created to supply organs to the old ruler. the boy ends up, with the help of his dear mother like friend , running away . if you want to know what happens next, you are just going to have to read the book. i really think that this is a great book!
I agree with the comment about older names and would like to add Dorothy Sayers to the hat: classic, well-written, and even whimsy in a thriller. Worth looking into.
There are several books like: Warrior Cats and Redwall. I like them because of the war, thriller and suspense in them! Redwall is highly not recommended if you don’t like poetry and the books keep repeating its storyline structure over and over again. Warriors is good as I like the style of writing. Thrillers like Maximum Ride are very very well known for the fast-paced stories. However, in that book, you can clearly see who is writing and the elicit thoughts of the protagonist. i don’t really like the style of writing here but it is a good read.
