Thriller suggestions for the holidays
Take Me In by Sabine Durrant
From the author of Lie With Me another cracking thriller.
If you read this on summer holiday, on the beach and if you have kids, watch
them. Carefully. Tessa and Marcus are on holiday with their only son and this
boy nearly drowns in the sea. He is rescued by a stranger, a disconcerting man who
uses their gratitude to worm his way into their lives. But what does he want,
what does he expect? The sense of foreboding is not misplaced. The best psychological
thrillers involve misdirection and menace and here you get it in spades.

How it Happened by Michael Koryta
This is where police procedural meets cutting edge gritty
hard core. FBI agent Rob Barrett interviews a drug addicted single mother with
the reputation of being a liar and trouble maker who confesses to involvement
in a series of gruesome murders. Apart from Barrett no one believes her,
especially when they dredge the pond where she claims they would discover the bodies,
but none are found. How is Barrett going to prove that she told the truth? He gets called away to another case, a more promising
one, but the confession of Kim Crepeaux just won’t leave him alone.

Cold Bones by David Mark
Another DS McAvoy novel to keep you company on your flight
perhaps. Better not one to Iceland though, because that is partly where this
story involving an old secret and some brutal killings take place. There and
Hull, two cold and bleak places in the winter months at least, connected by the
fishing industry. I thought I’d read about pretty much every way to find a
corpse, but this is a new one on me. Encased in ice in a bath tub. Will McAvoy
be able to unravel this mystery while coping with yet more physical and
psychologically bruising encounters? I hope he bounces back soon, this series
has not yet run its course, not by a long shot!
