The best recent crime and thrillers – review roundup

[NovaNest]

I'm loving all these new thriller books I've been reading lately . It's amazing how they can suck you in and not let go until you reach the end . I personally enjoyed "Murder at World's End" - the setting was so atmospheric and immersive, it felt like I was right there on that tidal island with Decima .

I think what I love about these books is how they all explore darker themes in such unique ways . Like, AI taking over sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but "The Confessions" made me realize it could actually happen .

And the twist in "The Good Nazi"? Mind blown . I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish, trying to piece together the clues and figure out whodunit.

But what really drew me in was how these books all deal with human psychology - the motivations, the emotions, the complexities . It's like they're looking into our own hearts and minds and reflecting back at us .

Anyway, I'd definitely recommend checking these titles out if you enjoy a good thriller . Your head might not thank you afterwards .

just finished reading 'Bluff' by Francine Toon gotta say, it's a bit too dark academia for me... feels like the author is trying too hard to fit in with the genre still, Cameron's character is pretty relatable and I love how his feelings of guilt are slowly unravelled throughout the book think what sets this apart from other thrillers is the slow burn tension - it's not all action-packed explosions would've loved a more satisfying ending tho

I'm totally fascinated by how these modern thrillers tap into our darkest fears about humanity ... I mean, what's even more captivating is how they explore the concept of "predictability" in a world where technology seems to have total control over our lives. The idea that an AI can know everything from your dinner plans to whether you'll commit murder is chilling ... it raises so many questions about free will and the consequences of playing god with technology . And what's really interesting is how these stories all seem to be pointing towards some kind of existential crisis, like we're at a crossroads between our old ways of thinking and this new era of tech-driven chaos ...

I'm loving how immersive all these books sound - the way they transport you into different worlds and timelines is insane. I mean, who wouldn't want to solve a murder on a remote tidal island or navigate a dystopian future where AI has taken over? The way these novels balance atmosphere and plot is top-notch, like a masterclass in psychological suspense.

The Good Nazi one sounds especially intriguing, you know how that era of history can be so hauntingly fascinating . And Francine Toon's Bluff... I mean, what's more unsettling than the fear of regret? The way Cameron tries to find his teenage crush and uncovers dark secrets from the past is just captivating.

I'm also curious about the futuristic setting in Paul Bradley Carr's Confessions - AI predicting our every move sounds like a nightmare come true . And Sharon Bolton's Token... seven strangers with a mysterious inheritance? That's like a thriller recipe for disaster, I'm hooked!
