5 Thriller Books You Must read
Thrillers are one of my favorite genres. I am always ready to dive into a thriller and play detective along with the Main character. Following the Protagonist as she unveils and tries to solve mysteries, thrills me on so many levels. It is exhilarating to put together all the pieces the Author hides in plain sight. The moment when a plot falls into place, I am always holding my breath for fear of losing the train of thought guiding me to the answer. The ‘snap’ when the answers and usually the identity of the antagonist are revealed, is a feeling I yearn to experience over and over again. And that is always my drive to pick up the next thriller. As an avid thriller reader, I am forever delighted to recommend good books from this genre. I have put together a list of some amazing must-read thrillers. These books are guaranteed to stump you with their sheer brilliance!
