What are some lesser-known thriller and mystery books that you loved?
I feel like people on Reddit tend to suggest the same novels when this question gets asked, so I was wondering if anyone has some recommendations that aren't mentioned as frequently.
John Ajvide Lindqvist Himmelstrand trilogy. It is a masterpiece. Mix of thriller and mystery. In my opinion one of the best when it comes to mixing the genres. The tension, the atmosphere all is just perfect! And such a smart well written story! Literally gave me goosebumps

I enjoyed Charlie Donlea’s books and also mystery thrillers by Loreth Ann White.

Anne Perry writes 2 different mystery series that take place in Victorian age London. Probably 10 books in each series.
