13 Thrillers That Should Be Movies

It is so hard to be working right now because all I want to do is go finish this book! It starts with an unnamed narrator telling you part of their revenge plot. Then you meet the university students who are in a mystery club–nicknamed after famous writers–on their way to an island where unsolved horrible murders were committed. It’s like a Japanese ode to Agatha Christie and I just got to the point where they are gonna start to die and I’m so excited (do not judge me!).

I’m planning on continuing my awesome nonfiction streak by listening to Megan Rapinoe’s memoir One Life. Why yes I did shout goooooooooooal in my head while writing that sentence.

And Razorblade Tears by S. A. Cosby landed on my doorstep and I squealed–I loved Blacktop Wasteland–so I read the first chapter while walking the book to my physical TBR and I already love it and am ready for it to break my heart? Take me on a wild ride? I don’t know and I don’t care, I’m in.

If you’re in the market for a crime thriller that also works for horror fans (If Annie Wilkes and Norman Bates birthed a book) and is set in Brazil, here’s one for $4.49. (TW I don’t remember but think dude kidnaps woman to make her love him.)

If you like dark, character driven Japanese crime novels, here’s one that unfurls from one event: a girl’s murder and her mother’s threat on four girls. And it’s $1.99! (I don’t remember TWs, sorry.)

If you’re on a nonfiction kick like me, here’s a great one for fans of journalism for $5.99. (TW gaslighting/ rape/ sexual harassment/ suicide attempt mentioned)

If you want a fun light historical mystery book, here’s a great recent series starter for $2.99!

And if you STILL haven’t read Tana French and are in the mood for a procedural in Dublin, her first book is $1.99! (TW rape/ child death)
