About our thrillers

The best thriller books have a unique way of tapping into our innate fascination with danger and making it into pulse-pounding and page-turning reading. Whether you’re delving into the latest from masters of the genre Robert Harris, Harlan Coben, Tess Gerritsen and Gregg Hurwitz or discovering high-stakes and adrenaline-fueled novels like Paula Hawkins’ A Slow Fire Burning and Lesley Pearse’s Deception, these thriller books will leave you breathless until the very end.
