À ta meilleure amie, qui est partie pour toujours. Ou à ta mère, qui n’a plus rien à te donner.

Before we get to the books themselves, can you define what you mean by thrillers, as opposed to mysteries or crime fiction? These categories are so blurred together. All the books I’ve recommended have really strong mystery elements, which I love in a book. I think mysteries tend to revolve around something that happened in the past, while thrillers are focused on something that’s going to happen in the future.
