Make Your Easter Happy with Thrillers!

The Easter break is approaching fast. In many countries, this means four days of no work. Four days of lazing about, catching up with family members, eating too much and reading not enough.

So, what is there to read in the thriller department? Mark Billingham's latest Tom Thorne book won't be out till 22 May 2014. The latest Lee Child is coming even later: August 28. And I've just finished Harlan Coben's brilliant new release.

Perhaps now is the time to go to the back list and read all those books I missed in 2013? Here are a few of those on my night table:

• Blackbirds and Mockingbird by Chuck Wendig
• 7 Dae by Deon Meyer 
• The Bookthief - is that even a thriller or a literary novel?
• And if I run out of other people's fiction, there's always my own: Operation: Genocide. :-)

Happy Easter!
