8 Mysteries & Thrillers That Should Be On Your Radar
By Mary Kay McBrayer
Thrillers, mysteries, and suspense novels are my favorites to listen to on audiobook. Whatever your preferred method of reading, though, these eight books need to be on every mystery & thriller reader’s radar.
For a cinematic, page-turning thriller, try The Surgeon. Come to Chicago and meet Anne Whiley, a cardiothoracic surgeon who has not lost a patient in her 12-year-long career. When she recognized a patient as someone she hates, though, things change. While Anne wrestles with her conscience, Paula Fuselier starts to investigate the death.

For those of us who know the last frontier is really underwater, try Whalefall. Jay Gardiner’s on a mission to find his father’s remains in the Pacific Ocean, but on the dive, he gets caught in the tentacles of a giant squid, and then he gets swallowed by a sixty-ton sperm whale. Jay has an hour until his oxygen runs out. What’s even crazier than this premise is that this story is scientifically accurate. It’s what Jonah or Geppetto would have experienced… in thriller form.

Charlie James is chasing her first big scoop as correspondent for British-based newspaper The Times, and she needs to prove to her boss that she can do this job as well, if not better, than her male counterparts. The best way to forge the necessary contacts quickly is to make well-connected British expats, Lord and Lady Ashworth, her business. Lady Eleanor knows everyone in Parisian high society, and at her sumptuously extravagant annual party, a Circus Ball, Charlie will meet them all.
On the summer solstice eve, the Circus Ball is in full swing, with the Parisian elites entranced by burlesque dancers, tightrope walkers, a jazz band . . . and a horrific murder. A wealthy but unscrupulous investor is dead, and the list of suspects is a veritable who’s who of le haut monde. As Charlie tries to determine who the murderer is, she finds herself drawn into the magical parties, couture houses, and bohemian wine bars of the City of Lights. Soon secrets start to unravel, including some Charlie has a personal stake in keeping hidden.
