Have you actually read all this authors @getonthetrain? 😱
I was interested to see that most of my favourites are in the forensic and thriller/spy novels categories. Quite a few in British too although one of my favourites is missing, that of Peter James. 😊
Oh no, I haven't real ALL of these authors but they are on my list of ones recommended to me. Strange that Peter James wasn't on that list. What category should he fall under, Forensics?
I think I would put Peter James in the British category @getonthetrain. One of the reasons I like him so much is because his stories are based in my home town and it's always fun to image the characters in an actual place you know. 😊
Any recommended books on trading psychology?
Check out the books that Mark Douglas wrote.

Damn, how long did it take you to make this huge list man!
Btw what type of books are the Medieval mystery books? are they any good? never heard about a mystery book set in the medieval age...
I have a huge list of books that i want to read in the summer holidays, which start in about 3 days, first one on my list Rich dad poor dad!
Rich Dad Poor Dad will certainly get you excited and motivated (it lacks specifics though).
Ellis Peters' Cadfael Chronicles is a pretty good medieval detective/mystery series - it even had a few seasons made in England about 20-25 years ago.
