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?

Exactly what I was going to recommend. There are three so far, the first (The Thursday Murder Club) is the best but the other two (The Man Who Died Twice and The Bullet That Missed) are also both a lot of fun. They're light easy reads, but with enough seriousness and depth to keep you interested, and the character are just wonderful! They're by Richard Osman, famous for being on the telly and very tall prior to this!
