[quote=""Vanessa""]I've got Death Comes to Pemberley by P D James on my Kindle. It hasn't got very good reviews on Amazon. I'm sure a few on here have read it.[/quote]
I normally like P D James but I struggled to get into this, in particular because of the re-hash of the original story at the beginning.
Currently reading Dark Matter: A Ghost Story by Michelle Paver, set in the Arctic in the 1930s. Does this count as an historical thriller?

Yes, I'd say it was, or horror suspense. I loved, loved, loved it!
