Love Stuart Turton! I can’t wait to read his new one, it sounds so good! I’ve also enjoyed the Thursday Murder Club. Thanks for sharing!

[ginics]

I'm literally loving 'Swiped' right now I can't wait to see who exactly is the murderer! Goshhhh 😭😭😭

So glad to see Everyone in my Family Has Killed Somone and Everyone on This Train is a Suspect included on your list. Those two books were my favorite reads of 2023 and 2024. (Really looking forward to the third book in October.) I'm in the group that liked the second book even better, mostly because I feel that the first book, while very entertaining, had some plot holes and could have been a little tighter, and I felt like that was fixed and improved on in the second novel. I also love trains and this setting reminded me of Murder on the Orient Express, so it contributed to my overall enjoyment. I don't think those two books get talked about nearly enough!

I’m excited to try some of these out next time I’m looking for a more mystery focus, thanks for the recs!

I don’t consider myself a mystery lover, but Miracle Creek is one of my favorite books! It’s so good

[katefaux]

Hi I really loved your suggestions. I recommend reading the Sunshine Vicram series. It’s only 3 books and the first one is A Good Day for Sunshine.

[MelissaLara-xkoi]

Thank you for these great recs . I added a few to my tbr 😊

[celly]

Added some of these to my tbr. So many books, so little time!

[cozy_jesss]

I’m so glad you are enjoying the Thursday Murder Club!!! Especially The Man Who Died Twice, which is my favorite.

I love British humor so much too!

I need to read Janice Halletts Alperton Angels.

[MMjones]

Great video! I agree the two Benjamin Stevens books are great fun. I also enjoy Stuart Turton novels, but haven't read the latest yet.

[VeraFran]

Ah a fellow Stuart Turton fan! I didn't realize until now how many mysteries I've been reading lately! I really want to read the Angie Kim ones.

[LeannGrabski]

Swiped sounds so good, adding to my TBR

[mars]

I’m a mystery lover and reader but thriller is where the industry is at rn. I’m definitely getting more into the thriller genre

[DarkNight-vshi]

Please, continue in the good girls guide to murder series is really good:⁠-⁠)

[andrewf]

This is a good list. I've read all but 2 of them, and I'm also a reader that loves a British style mystery. Your previous review of Happiness Falls convinced me to check it out and I think is my favorite read of 2024 so far. Also liked Miracle Creek, but not quite as much as Happiness Falls. Angie Kim is definitely an auto-buy/read author for me. Lover her writing.

Also, please do the audio for Thursday Murder Club. The narrator changes between books 2 and 3, but I think both are fantastic. The second narrator knocks it out of the park in book 4. It's one of those series where the audio improves the reading experience because the narration brings the characters to life. Book 3 isn't quite as good as Book 2, but Book 4 is one of the best mysteries I've ever read. More for the character work than the mystery, though.

As far as recommendations, try Magpie Murders and the follow-up Moonflower Murders, which is even better, if you like the first book. They are very complicated mysteries. I think readers who like Stuart Turton and Janice Hallett would enjoy those books. I think those two books are the author's best, but I also enjoy his Hawthorne and Horowitz series which has five books now I think. I recommend that series if you just want a solid mystery, but none of them are five-star worthy. A solid 3.5-4 stars series for me. Also the series gets better with each book, so that's a plus.

Hi Ashley, new follower here, firstly I want to say I really love your videos, thanks for sharing them. 📚❤️ Secondly, I want to highly recommend to continue the „A Good Girls Guide to Murder“- series. I really enjoyed it. And I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the next two books in the series. Sending lots of love 🫶🏼

Hello Ashley, I’ve been very disappointed in the newer thriller books. I love mysteries of all kinds and have found a new mystery for me written in the early 90s with an Alaska theme The Kate Shugak mysteries by Dana Stabenow. The first book is called “a cold day for murder“.
In general, I prefer literary mysteries or police procedurals, which are hard to find today. Aloha and thank you for your video.

[cindyfreese]

I enjoyed Miracle Creek and will be reading Happiness Falls for bookclub. I also liked the mystery of Ellie Black. I’d say the last mystery I enjoyed was Middle of the Night by Riley Sager. It actually got me a little teary eyed a couple times. 😅

Older books but the Miss Zukas series by Jo Dereske is wonderful.
