Older nomination The Other Daughter by Lisa Gardner
Can somebody define suspense for me? Or provide some examples of popular books in the genre?EDIT: I've just seen the Top 10 suspense author list, colour me red.
As in cold blood is true crime does it count?
Mod
Well there you go...I didn't realize it's true crime! Michael???
You may have to wait for the crime reads
Mod
Because I think everyone should read them, I'll nominate Gone Girl for the recent release and for the older one; Rebecca
Mod
Good choices Michael, but if we can't have In Cold Blood can we have my other suggestion The Chatham School Affair for the older book? It sounds like a great suspense book (and I have it on my shelf!)..

Do you have a suggestion for a recent release one?
I suggest something from Graham Greene for the classic, perhaps Our Man in Havana or A Gun for Sale. Maybe The One from the Other, the point at which Philip Kerr rebooted his Bernie Gunther series, for the modern one?
Mod
The Alienist was a great read Mish and would be a great choice for recent nomination along with Niceville wich sounds really good. For the older one i like Brenda's suggestion of The Other Daughter ..."

Great I'm glad it's a good one :) I've listed it down as an older nomination because it said it was first published in 1996 - is that okay?
Mod
