BOOKS THAT TOTALLY PLAYED ME!!! | MYSTERY AND THRILLER RECS | Literary Diversions

I think I found my niché in mystery genre! I now have a NEED to read ALL of these and be flabbergasted at the game!😁🙌

Glorious! Loved seeing both my faves; Christie and Harper amongst the fun and games! xxx

I picked up The Lost Man last year on your recommendation and was not disappointed. I figured it out early on but that is typical for me, but I still very much enjoyed the ride. Of course, figuring it out so early on probably says more about me than I care to examine...🤨 The writing was quietly immersive and technically stellar.

I've read and loved all of these except The Twyford Code which is on my wish list. Loved hearing you talk about these, my faves too...I love being played! :)

Hooooooooly shit, The Twyford Code. I finished it last week and still haven't recovered from the absolute mindfuck. I've never been fooled so thoroughly in my entire life. Absolute brilliance. I can't wait to read it again through a whole new lens. Now let me go put all the rest of these books on my TBR...

Agatha Christie Then There Were None and The Death of Roger Ackroyd were great. Also liked the ABC murders and Appointment With Death I also enjoyed.

More mystery Lianne

Yes Kindergarten is what we call it here in Australia

Why would they change that beautiful cover of Lisa Jewels book?

Lianne, I had my TBR under a 100 you just blew that out of the water. I can hear my wallet screaming already.

The Lost Man was my first Jane Harper novel wasn't my cup of tea.

Have you read the second book in the Family series by Lisa Jewel?

Is it too obvious to say I loved being played by ' The 7 and a half deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle' by Stuart Turton

We say kindergarten in NSW, shortened ro kindy

I just wanted to say that I somehow stumbled upon your channel last year in the midst of my whole family having covid. It was so horrible for various reasons and I was in such a reading rut. You recommended 'The Family Upstairs' and I downloaded (my first ever) audiobook and I absolutely loved it. I am now regularly reading again and so I just wanted to say thank you.

I read The Lost Man because of you... then I picked up, The Survivors, then The Dry... and now... I'm 50% through Force of Nature ... and I'm definitely being played!... Thank You!😁

My poor tbr and bank balance!!

The Jane Harper books almost always get me. Even when I'm SO sure I've got it figured out, I don't.

OMG my cats do the same thing!

I definitely felt like that when I was reading Murder on the orient express..I love when books do that, you think you have it all figured out but nope lol the murder she wrote books do the same lol

great idea for a video really enjoyed, thanks for all you do!!!

ugh... the family upstairs... could have maybe been good if someone hadn't TOTALLY told me the wrong synopsis... I was like "this book does a terrible job at not being the book its not trying to be!" lol. also, still mad at hubby for spoiling the end of lost man.... >.>

Omg 🤯🤯🤯🤯😳

Not a book, but a movie: Knives Out. It's beautiful, I've watched it half a dozen times and it is still never boring because the storytelling is absolutely perfect

I loved the concept, the delivery and your face gives standing ovation 💛👏💛👏

Just added all of these books to my wishlist

A great video as always! It’s so funny when you mentioned Jane Harper and that she needs to bring out a new book because just before watching your video I saw that there will be a 3rd one in the Aaron Falk series in 2023!!!!!! I still need to read The Survivors though ^^

💖

I always jump in joy when one of your videos comes up! I loooove being played, these are the only thrillers I actually like 🤪 I have read many Lisa Jewell books and I always have that same feeling. I have bought The Lost Man in your recommandation but haven’t read it yet and I will finish my comment with my usual recommandation of either The Double Mother or After the crash by Michel Bussi

How fiendish and twisted love this thank you 💋

Great video! This is the exact thing I look for in mystery/thrillers, so I am happily adding books to my tbr! For Big Little Lies, would you recommend still reading it if you've already seen the TV show? I still don't know why I made that life decision since I always prioritize book first, and I've been on the fence about reading the book ever since

Roger Ackroyd is freaking classic!! I agree with a lot of this and thank you for mentioning The Girls (it’s going on my TBR NOW) and Twyford (bumping it up!).

For me The Last House on Needless Street gave me the gasping vibe!

This was my favorite video ever! I want to read all of them!

Just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos, and you're simply delightful 😊🌸

When I was in Australia, we did use the word kindergarten ;)

I just started The Girls last night 😮

Thank You!!!!!! You just provided me with my TBR list!
Rock Paper Scissors took me by surprise!

Loved this video on thrillers!

This reminds me I'm way overdue for a reread of The Lost Man!

Believe me by JP Delaney made me SHOUT out loud at the end

My new favorite is Louise Candlis. Just finished “The Other Passenger “ and OMG!! . I loved her other book, Our House and was delighted that she has a large backlist. This was an outstanding video, btw.

I’ve read exactly 3 Agatha Christie novels so far and both of them were recced in this video and I FULLY agree with how good they were

Just re-read 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' after a few years. Still masterful even on the second read :)

I'm actually rereading a favorite book right now that has these same vibes, so good: The Scent of Rain and Lightning by Nancy Pickard. I don't usually read too many mysteries but my love of that book leads me to believe I would really love these you've recommended. Off to add them all to my 'to read' list. :)

I shared it. THANK YOU SO MUCH ---be happy ❤!! Need likes? Check Promo-SM!!!

Just finished "The Girls", which I first heard of in this video, and I absolutely loved it. Thank you for introducing me to such a cool author.

I haven't read any of these books, but now I really want to read them all!!

I loved the murder of Roger Akroyd. And I totally got played by it though my brother said he figured out what game was afoot pretty much by the second chapter.

I loved The Lost Man so much. How did she do that?!
