QUESTIONS

1. Hello Get Booked ladies!

I’m requesting for my mom, as her birthday is coming up in January. She is already burning through the books I curated for her for Christmas (The Silent Patient & The Turn of the Key). She loves mystery, crime, action, suspense books. She’d like books that are, “less psychological thriller-y, more murder-y”. I’ve been trying to find stand-alone books or the start of a series because she can never remember where she left off and too often says “I think I’ve read this one?”.

Examples of what she likes: Prey books by John Sandford, Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich, authors Ruth Ware, Clive Cussler, James Patterson, Paula Hawkins, John Grisham, Mary Higgins Clark, etc. – as seen on the Goodreads account I’ve created for her goodreads.com/wendykozimor.

*No home invasions, no horror

Please help me find more murder-y books for my Mom (lol). Thanks!
