I’ve been on a binge this year of reading some fairly good and some terribly bad thrillers and mystery books. I just finished reading “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie, which I greatly enjoyed, particularly after reading the Silent Patient, which I thought was awful.
Any favorites of the genre you’d recommend? Any terrible ones you’d steer away from?
I have really enjoyed Japanese honkaku mysteries. They’re based on the classic British mysteries of the 1930s. Not many are translated but I liked The Honjin Murders and The Tattoo Murder Case. Search honkaku and read them for the Japanese take on the country house murder.
