Best and worst murder mysteries / thrillers (kbin.social)

I've been on a binge this year of reading some fairly good and some terribly bad thrillers and mystery books. I just finished reading "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, which I greatly enjoyed, particularly after reading the Silent Patient, which I thought was awful.

Any favorites of the genre you'd recommend? Any terrible ones you'd steer away from?

Short thriller/comedy/sci-fi that I really liked was The Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells

I only read the first in the series (though I've heard the whole series is great), but I was really surprised by how much I liked All Systems Red. Really entertaining quick read.

The audiobooks are a great quick listen (I think about 4 hours long or so on average)

I got those via my library and Libby.

The protagonist has such a unique narrative perspective
