Thriller Challenge

I spotted this challenge on Crime by the Book’s Instagram page and I thought I’d give it a go in a blog post. The challenge is this, show a thriller with:

1. Your favourite detective
2. Your favourite villan
3. Your favourite plot twist
4. A creepy setting
5. An unreliable narrator
6. A cover your obsessed with
7. An ending you never saw coming

My favourite detective:

I love Detective Inspector Marnie Rome in Sarah Hilary’s police procedural series. I go back to these book so often and I loved seeing her develop over the course of six books. I’m hoping she is going to return in a new book soon.

My favourite villan:

I love Dr Alexandra Thorn in the Kim Stone books by Angela Marsons. She made her first appearance in book two in the series, Evil Games and I always get really excited whenever she has appeared in the series since.

My favourite plot twist:

The twist in I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh really blew my mind. I read it a good few years ago now and I still haven’t forgot about. It remains one of my all time favourite reads.

A creepy setting:

The Lingering by SJI Holliday has a really creepy setting. It really gave me chills as I was reading it. It’s the perfect ghost story.

An unreliable narrator:

The characters in this book really held my attention and they are definitely unreliable. Behind Her Eyes was recently adapted for Netflix and I thought they did a really good job with it.

A cover your obsessed with:

I really like this cover for The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse. I think it really draws you into the setting.

An ending you never saw coming:

The ending in When They Find Her by Lia Middleton really took me by surprise.

What would your answers be? Let me know.
