Love reading, but is your reading stack starting to get a little low? Well, your luck! As here into today’s blog post I’ve listed 5 gripping books to read throughout September. From crime/thriller to mystery/action. The following books that you will find gripping and easy to get lost in the storyline and you might even try to predict what the ending might is.
Tripwire by Lee Child
Love the Jack Recher series? ‘Tripwire may just be a good choice of book for you to read. It’s a tightly-drawn and swift thriller. It’s about the retired military police officer Jack Reacher who becomes embroiled in a mystery that involves a Vietnam War veteran who is reported missing in action, but then resurfaces as a vicious loan shark with a secret that he would murder to protect.’
The Midwife Murders by James Patterson & Richard Dilallo
The storyline about a ‘Senior Midwife Lucy Ryuan is used to guiding expectant mother through pregnancy. But when two kidnappings and a vicious stabbing happen on her watch, her focus abruptly changes. Something has to be done, and lucy is fearless enough to try.’
The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson
‘Bodies starting to wash up along the banks of the River Thames, DI Henley fears it is the work of Peter Oliver, the notorious Jigsaw Killer. But it can’t be him; Oliver is already behind bars, and Henley was the one who put him there. Now the race is on before more bodies are found.’
The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman
‘Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He’s made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very real threat to his life.
As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn’t that be a bonus?
But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn’t bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians.
Can the Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them?’
Seven Minutes Later by Bonnie Kistler
‘Two women walk into a lift. Only one walks out alive.
Lucy is the envy of everyone who knows her. The career she’s worked hard for is flying and she always looks perfectly put together with her beautifully styled blonde hair and designer clothes. But nobody knows she’s harbouring a dark secret, one that would tear her family apart if it’s ever revealed.’
Shay is a hardworking young lawyer who’s been thrown a lifeline with her new job at Lucy’s company after being made redundant. She knows that she looks a little drab; she can’t afford to dress any better. But nobody knows that her problems run far deeper than money troubles. Her once perfect marriage has become dark and twisted, and she fears what her husband might do next.’
