The 50 Best Thrillers of the 21st Century, According to the New York Times

The New York Times asked hundreds of bookish people—which included librarians, booksellers, editors, bookstagrammers, and crime writers (among them Freida McFadden, S.A. Cosby, Gillian Flynn, Alyssa Cole, and Stephen King)—what the best 10 thrillers published since 2000 were.

The resulting list of 50 books spans countries and time lines, is populated by bestsellers like Tana French, Gillian Flynn, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and really shows how many thriller novels have had big cultural moments over the last 26 years.

But voting isn’t quite over. If you’d like to share what you think of the best thrillers of the century so far, the NYT has a poll for readers to participate in.

Here are a few of Book Riot’s favorites from the list:
