The Ultimate Must-Read List of Crime, Mystery & Thriller Novels
This list is comprised of many authors, and provides a guide to the best novels from each of these authors if they're prolific writers. Some authors, on the other hand, have had one-off successes. Just a couple of things to note - firstly, I acknowledge that the list is primarily focused on English-written novels, so my apologies to those great novels that haven't made the list. I have lists for great novels from countries all around the world, though, so they can be found there. Secondly, I'm not a massive science fiction or fantasy fan, so please don't expect to see such novels. I think there may just be two or three novels I think that fall into those genres. Otherwise, it's pure, realistic crime, mystery and thrillers!
