Hey everybody! I need book recs for my dads birthday! He really likes Peter Swanson‘s plots and characters and likes Daniel Silva. He writes his own stories and is very picky about what he likes, but likes mysteries and poetry. I think he has read all of Poe/Christie as they are classics. We also found Noah Boyd who he really liked, but the guy only wrote about 3-4 books. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you! 📚📚 #pickyreader #hardtochoose
Mollyanna I would recommend the Cotton Malone series by Steve Berry. Malone is a former government operative who retired to Copenhagen to run a book store. He keeps getting pulled back into his old world though. 3y
ImperfectCJ Maybe something by Tana French? Her newest is a standalone about a retired detective from Chicago who moves to Ireland.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Laughterhp That‘s what I was going to recommend @Ruthiella 3y
Ruthiella @Laughterhp Great minds! 😂 I think Horowitz is a good match for Peter Swanson. 3y
shortsarahrose More along the classic Christie side of things, but the Lord Peter Wimsy mysteries by Dorthy Sayers are enjoyableWhose Body? 3y
Whose Body?TheLudicReader If you can find books by Thomas H. Cook, he writes literary mysteries with amazing twists. 3y
bio_chem06 Have you read the 2 S.A. Cosby books that are out? They‘re not thrillers but they are really good suspense and the stories are both great. He‘s become one of my favorite authors for non fiction & I can‘t wait to read more that he writes. I read both books in a weekend because they are page turners. 3y

katy4peas @bio_chem06 no, those are new ones to me. Those could be great for him. He liked Devil in the White City which also has the nonfiction aspect. I‘ll have to check those out. Thanks! 3y
