I'm just imagining a book club trying to pick a 2020 thriller series book. 'The Thursday Murder Club' would be a hit—humor, mystery, talking points about aging. 'The Law of Innocence' would spark debates about the justice system. 'The Burn' might be too intense for some. 'Crooked River' would have people arguing about whether the weird supernatural elements worked. It's fun to think about which of these series entries would generate the best discussion. For my money, the Osman book wins because it's so deceptively light while dealing with heavy themes. But the Connelly would be a close second for its sheer procedural tension and moral dilemmas. A series book often comes with built-in context, which can either enrich a discussion or frustrate newcomers who feel they're missing history.

I'm just thinking about my wallet. Starting a new series in 2020 meant potentially buying a backlog. Thank goodness for libraries and used bookstores. Discovering 'The Thursday Murder Club' meant I could then go get the sequels as they came out. But discovering, say, the Sigma Force series with 'The Last Odyssey' meant I had like 14 prior books to catch up on if I loved it. That's a commitment!

On the other hand, it's a beautiful problem to have—a whole world to explore. My strategy is to read the most recent one (the 2020 entry) and if I'm hooked, I'll go back to the beginning. Sometimes the latest book isn't the best entry point, but for most thriller series, it works well enough to get the flavor. Publishers know they need to attract new readers, so they make later books relatively accessible. So don't be scared off by a high book number. Dive into that 2020 series book that intrigues you.

Looking for something with a sharper, more modern edge? Don Winslow's 'City on Fire' trilogy just concluded with 'City of Dreams'. It's a sprawling, operatic crime saga about a drug empire, with the pacing of a thriller and the depth of a literary novel. The characters are morally complex in a way that makes you root for people you know you shouldn't. It's brutal, beautiful, and impossible to put down. This isn't a cozy mystery; it's a gut-punch of a series that examines power, family, and revenge in America.

Let's talk about 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' by V.E. Schwab. Not a conventional thriller, but the central mystery of Addie's curse and her deal with a dark god has relentless narrative tension. Its genre-blending success—part historical fantasy, part romance, part philosophical thriller—showed that 'bestselling series' can begin from a place of unique concept rather than pure crime. The demand for a sequel or companion novel has been huge, proving that a thrilling premise can build a series-ready world.

Let’s talk about 'The Collective' by Alison Gaylin. That ending was a mic drop that demands a continuation. The concept—a secret group of vigilante parents—is so rich and morally fraught, it could easily fuel a series exploring different members, different targets, and the inevitable collapse of their secrecy. It’s a high-concept premise that feels built for multiple books, each diving deeper into the darkness of grief and justice.

A great ongoing series that blends sci-fi with mystery is 'The Murderbot Diaries' by Martha Wells. It's about a SecUnit that hacks its governor module and would rather watch soap operas than deal with humans, but keeps getting dragged into solving mysteries and stopping murders. Each new novella or novel is a day-one purchase for me. The voice is hilarious and deeply relatable for anyone with social anxiety.

Has anyone mentioned 'The Soulmate' by Sally Hepworth? It's about a couple whose dream house is near a cliff that becomes a notorious suicide spot. The husband becomes a local hero for talking people down, until one night he fails, and the victim turns out to be his wife's former boss. The story digs into the marriage's secrets. Hepworth writes domestic suspense with incredible emotional insight. While each book is standalone, her focus on the dark sides of relationships and family is a consistent, reliable draw. Starting with this one would give you a perfect taste of her style—less about shock twists, more about devastating reveals.
