Fabulous Fridays

This week on Fabulous Fridays I have made a list of 'thrillers' that I have enjoyed. I would really like to read more of this genre but I struggle to find authors that I enjoy, some of them are too predictable and some are too complicated and I lose interest. These ones however were just right, if you can recommend anymore then please let me know in the comments below. If you click on the title of these then you will be taken to my original review.

Have a lovely weekend
