When looking for a thrilling read a good old fashioned murder mystery is always an excellent choice, and with new authors taking a crack at the genre there’s never been a better time to find a wealth of diversity within it. Here are two thrilling murder mysteries than are bound to get the blood pumping and the heart racing.
The Secret Place by Tana French. Named one of the best books of 2014 in the mystery, thriller and suspense category by Amazon, The Secret Place tells the tale of murder in an unlikely place, the St. Kilda's, a girls' boarding school in Dublin. When Chris Harper, a teenage boy, is found dead on the boarding school grounds, the only clue Detective Stephen Moran has is a note on a bulletin board that says, “I know who killed him.” Alternating between the perspective of the detective and the memories of a teenage girl, French’s murder mystery is as unique as it is compelling.
The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith. If you think The Cuckoo’s Calling may show some similarities to something you’ve already read and love, you’re not alone. Robert Galbraith is in fact the pen name of none other than beloved Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. The first in her Cormoran Strike series, The Cuckoo’s Calling brings us into the world of war veteran and private investigator Cormoran Strike as he investigates the suicide of famous actress Lula Landry.
