I'm rather eclectic. I grew up on Sci-fi and fantasy. I enjoy a good romance both contemporary or historical. But when it comes to where I want to escape it's James Bond, Jason Bourne, Mike Hammer or Sam Spade to the rescue. I like the spy and detective thrillers. Here are some recent and some written before I was born. All I found to be great reads.

It's cool that you have such diverse taste in genres.
My TTT .
Thanks, Lydia.
Wow, there are some names on your list I haven't heard in quite a while. Leon Uris! Great list:-)
I like thrillers, but I usually shy away from spy stories. Not sure why, just not my thing. I have read a Dugoni book - it was the first one in a murder mystery series. I liked it, but haven't yet continued on with the series.
Happy TTT!
I read The Maltese Falcon for the detective fiction module we did. I enjoyed that one too.
Fun list!
This had some great books, Tammy.
Glad to know you liked it, Susan.
Good to know, MT
Thanks Nicole.
There are some classics on here! Great list 😊
Awesome list :)
My dad loved political/ spy thrillers. John le Carre was his favorite.
Great list of books. I'm a fairly eclectic reader myself. Hard Hit and The Eighth Sister are both on my TBR list. :)
Thanks, Kerri.
Glad you liked it, Emilie.
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, great book, Cindy.
Lark, you should enjoy them.
Great list! I was very into some of Tom Clancy's early books -- Cardinal of the Kremlin is a good one!
Much more of a spy thriller than Hunt For Red October, Lisa.
Thanks for visiting my xxx.
As I said there, we all have our different tastes. I'm not much interested in sci-fi and even less in fantasy, although in some respect I think sci-fi and alternative history resemble each other in that they change facts and build a story on it.
Anyway, I'll check out your list and see whether I can't find a book that interests me.
Happy Reading.
