Thanks for the suggestions. “Best of” lists are one of the many things to like about this time of year.
One book that really stuck with me: Those Who Wish Me Dead by Michael Koryta. Storyline: After witnessing a murder, a teen boy is chased by an odd pair of relentless killers. The pursuit concludes in the Montana wilderness during a massive forest fire, testing the boy’s spirit and newfound outdoor survival skills.
I enjoyed Koryta’s private investigator series some years ago, but this newest thriller absolutely floored me. Brilliant writing and storytelling.
Not much overlap with my own list (in fact, only Lisa Unger's In the Blood), but some titles I loved that didn't make my list since it was so hard to narrow down (I loved Invisible City, The Black Hour, and Kill Fee).

I have heard so many great things about this book. I will put it on my TBR list for sure!

Great list Kristi.

Here is a link to my list for anyone intersted:

It was definitely tough to narrow it down. I had a few to add if I could have made the list to say, 14! But where do you draw the line?
