Anything by Gregg Hurwitz grabs me from the first page and don't let go until the last:

I'm reading Casino Royale and loving it. Very thrilling to me.

Gillian Flynn
I believe Gillian Flynn's books qualify as thrillers - love them all. Also Patricia Highsmith's Ripley series!

A book that I've just finished and that could be put in the thriller/fantasy genre is The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert. I would recommend it to late teens and adults only since there are some graphic descriptions.

Seconding this. Hunt for Red October is the best thriller I've read. The Cardinal of the Kremlin was also quite good. That said, I've found Tom Clancy's work that doesn't deal with US/USSR politics to be worse than his US/USSR ones. And he seems to have weakness for basing his plots on protagonist being idiots - a 50/50 split so far.
I've also liked what I've read of Michael Crichton. Jurassic Park and Timeline are oldies but goodies. Last edited by Rbneader; 06-02-2013 at 10:17 PM. |

I'm reading a book called Rumours of War by Michael Snow. It's a quick read, and a pretty good page turner. It has a Clancy feel to it, but it's not as grand in scale as some of his books. I think it's his first novel. Some of his characters are quite interesting. I'm enjoying it.
