The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

I've just finished reading The Innocent Man, i found it quite a chilling tale, more so because it's based on a true story.

If you like a mystery thriller but something a littkle bit more technical, may I recommend AIRFRAME by Michael Crichton.

It is all about sabotage and skullduggery in the aircraft industry.

Very good.

if it's for a book club try this:
In the Woods by tana French.
it's her debut novel and got very good reviews.
Tess gerritson and Chricton are a bit mass market and Alice Seabold would not be classed as a mystery thriller, though it is an excellent book and defintiely worth a read.
You might also want to try Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, a remarkable author.
