Looking for a good standalone book to sink my teeth into.
Genres: romance, mystery, action, thriller
I've got nothing against series, but looking to take a break from them while I get out of my reading slump.
Edit: fiction recs please xD

I ran out of patience for fiction decades ago, so I switched. These are all very good and every one was in my local library –
ROSE GEORGE –
“Nine pints : a journey through the money, medicine, and mysteries of blood”
“Ninety percent of everything : inside shipping, the invisible industry that puts clothes on your back, gas in your car, and food on your plate”
“The big necessity : the unmentionable world of human waste and why it matters”
JUDY MELINEK –
“Working stiff : two years, 262 bodies, and the making of a medical examiner”
MARY ROACH –
“Fuzz : when nature breaks the law”
“Grunt : the curious science of humans at war”
“Gulp : adventures on the alimentary canal”
“Bonk : the curious coupling of science and sex”
“Stiff : the curious lives of human cadavers”
“Packing for Mars : the curious science of life in the void” “Spook : science tackles the afterlife”
CAITLIN DOUGHTY
“Will my cat eat my eyeballs? : big questions from tiny mortals about death”
“From here to eternity : traveling the world to find the good death”
“Smoke gets in your eyes : and other lessons from the crematory”
