The IF YOU LIKE series has been a little quiet over the summer, but now the wonderful NICOLA MARSH has stopped by to give us the DL on who to read if you enjoy thriller writer Lisa Gardner!
While I mainly write contemporary romance, as a reader I adore a good thriller. The more complex and chilling, the faster I’ll turn those pages. And if there’s a dash of romance among the spine-tingling thrills, then all the better. I’m always in awe of authors who can weave an intriguing plot, complete with red herrings and an ending I didn’t see coming.
Lisa Gardner
She’s an auto-buy for me. Each and every one of her books are unique and the plots just get better. I can rarely put down a Lisa Gardner novel. The stand out for me is The Perfect Husband, about a wife whose husband is a serial killer. She puts him away in jail, then he escapes…this is the only book I’ve ever read that has given me nightmares. It’s absolutely riveting.
Alex Kava
I love a ballsy heroine and Maggie O’Dell is one of the best. I can race through Alex Kava’s thrillers and count down the days until the next. At The Stroke of Madness is layered with complexity as Maggie chases down a serial killer.
Tess Gerritsen
Dr Maura Isles is an intriguing heroine and I love the series of books featuring her. A medical examiner, Maura helps put away some of the most evil, twisted villains ever created. The Mephisto Club gave me chills. I advise you read it during the daytime.
Nicola Marsh
Nicola Marsh is a USA TODAY bestselling & award-winning author of 60 contemporary romances. She currently writes women’s fiction for Amazon’s Lake Union imprint.
