CRIME & THRILLER

Brilliantly written stories which keep the reader on the edge of their seats and continually surprise them.

Books she adores in this area: Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughan or Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka. (2/7)

I love and devour everything by Simone St. James (aka crime / thrillers with a paranormal twist), so if you can comp to her even slightly, SOLD. I adore a good haunted house story with terrifying, angry ghosts. Loved MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia recently. #MSWL

And as always, I'm still looking for commercial fiction across the board but predominantly in crime/thriller, accessible book club and romance spaces. Make me laugh, cry or scared to read at night!

"I'm on the lookout for mystery thrillers that explore a 'true crime' in their fictional world. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."

Twitter is doomed, but I’m so excited to share my #MSWL !! Agents — would love to connect. More info here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/claire-cheek/

Fun might mean: turning tropes on their heads (COUNTERFEIT), acute social commentary (WHITE IVY and SUN DAMAGE), sending us to mind-boggling locations (MIDNIGHT and THE DIVE), or a steady drip of dark humor (HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY). Hit me with whatever you've got in this space

In terms of crime and thriller, perhaps ironically, I want books in this space that feel fun! I'm slightly fatigued by the gloomier end of the spectrum within this genre...

Agents and/or authors.

Please send me train thrillers like BULLET TRAIN, or something LEON-like with assassins or gangs.

Am always on the lookout for crime adjacent novels set in South Central LA, NYC, South Korea or Japan.

Or maybe some 90s Seattle-set grunge noir.

I love mystery thrillers that explore a ‘true’ crime and its repercussions. Think A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU and JACKAL.
