Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

I am going to do something on time for once, and something else late too. Here are my October books read and in a separate post I will list my September books too.
Very Good books:
One of these was lighter, the Osman book, the first three were downright bleak, but very, very good. I have been devouring the Amy Stewart books.
The City Where We Once Lived by Eric Barnes
Where All Light Tends to Go by David Joy
Pale Horse, Pale Rider: Three Short Novels by Katherine Anne Porter
The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman simply delightful!
Dear Miss Kopp by Amy Stewart

Good Books:
I will read more by all three of these authors (if Scott Blackburn writes another, his debut has promise) He was described as being like S.A. Cosby, the experiences of the character are similar, the writing is different.
56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard
The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths
It Dies with You by Scott Blackburn this one is a 2022 release I read from NetGalley

Ok Books:
Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh the second book by this author I tried, I didn't finish the first. Not sure I will try now.
Still Midnight by Denise Mina just because you like later works doesn't mean an older series will resonate

I really liked Mina's Garnethill books and found Conviction OK but not as good.

I really liked The Crossing Places- and it was another new author find for me.

I'm still waiting for The Man who died Twice. Had it on hold since it was published.

Wow, you had a great month! I keep hearing about 56 Days...will have to add it to my list!

Bonnie: perhaps I will try one of Denise Mina's Garnethill books next, thanks. I predict you will love The Man Who Dies Twice.
I am reading another Elly Griffiths book now. She is a likeable new author for me too.

Lots of interesting books on your September and October lists. Good job Ann!

I also thought the Garnethill books were excellent and Deception was very good. I have not tried any of the Alex Morrow books yet.

I do want to read more books by David Joy but don't want to overload on dark and bleak now since the weather is changing.

Totally agree that The Man Who Died Twice was delightful.

Nice list, Ann. And right on time too.

Dan: for once on time anyway! Thanks!
