Hello! I’ve been watching the few episodes of the new show Paradise (political thriller) with the amazing Sterling K Brown. I’ve never really read a thriller book. I love the surprising twists and the mysteries you can’t really guess.
Bonus points Id love to be in the book is the fact they {SHOW SPOILER} live in a perfect society that was created by them, but it has lots of secrets and issues. I’d love a book with a “perfect” world they’ve had to create after an apocalypse

Here are two book recommendations that fit the themes of political thrillers, dystopian societies, and hidden secrets within a “perfect” world:
[**The City & The City**](https://amzn.to/4htFeEF) by China Miéville
A gripping political thriller with a unique premise: two cities exist in the same space but are legally and culturally forbidden from acknowledging each other. As a detective investigates a murder, he uncovers a web of political intrigue, forbidden truths, and hidden forces at play.
[**Wool (Silo Series, Book 1)**](https://amzn.to/4gyndUi) by Hugh Howey
Set in a post-apocalyptic world where society exists in a massive underground silo, this novel unravels the dark truths behind the seemingly “perfect” and controlled civilization. As the protagonist begins to question the system, secrets emerge that change everything.
I attached the links in the titles above to their Amazon pages for you to check them out. Enjoy!
Following! I just got into this show and it’s so good!
