Can you guys suggest me some of the best thriller books you’ve ever read?
I prefer a whodunnit. I’m currently reading Perfume by Patrick Suskind. I read 15 books last year and want to read more books this year. Quite frankly, thrillers are the books I like to read the most.
Anything by Agatha Christie? Most of her stuff is locked-room mysteries but very much whodunnit. I love ‘And Then There Were None’ so much!

– The chalk man, The burning girls, and The taking of Annie Thorne by C.J. Tudor
– The lost by Simon Beckett (Also his David Hunter series – forensic anthropology)
– Robert Galbraith’s Cormoran Strike series

The Seven and a half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle – Stuart Turton.
I wish I could read that for the first time again… An amazing whodunnit. Don’t read to much about it, go into it blind so to speak…
Enjoy!

The four Thursday Murder Club series books by Richard Osman.
Kinda sorta thrillers and also plenty of fun and humourous too.

I suggest ‘Gone Girl’ by Gillian Flynn to readers looking for a modern psychological thriller. The book’s masterful use of unreliable narrators and its dark examination of marriage make it a standout mystery that’s both sophisticated and utterly compelling.

There are several Scottish authors that might fit your bill. I’ve read all these authors, so can highly recommend, I think I’d only class the James Oswald books as ‘thrillers’.
Ian Rankin – fantastic writer, not a thriller per se, but solid whodunnit.
Stuart McBride – Logan McRae series
Aline Templeton – Marjorie Fleming series
James Oswald- Tony McLean series. His books have a creepy/supernatural element
