My Top Ten Modern Novels

I’m hearing folks will spending lots of time indoors the next few days (weeks?), so I thought I’d compile a couple of genre reading lists. Here’s the first:

1. The Straw Men, Michael Marshall

2. The Snowman, Joe Nesbø

3. The Charm School, Nelson DeMille

4. The Secret History, Donna Tartt

5. The Leopard, Joe Nesbø

6. Spy Line, Len Deighton

7. Broken Shore, Peter Temple

8. Hannibal, Thomas Harris

9. The Black Ice, Michael Connelly

10. Running Blind, Lee Child
