I love thriller books and films. After reading 'Het Gouden Ei' I've often decided on thriller books to read for college for example De Donkere Kamer truck Damokles, De Aanslag, Specht en Zoon etc. For English I likewise have selected catalogs of genre mental thriller: The Collector plus the Concrete Garden. The Collector. Motivation.
