Well, look no further because I've got the top 7 thriller books written after 2000 just for you. These books are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, turning page after page until the very end.

As the famous American author, Ernest Hemingway, once said, "There is no friend as loyal as a book." So, get ready to find your new loyal friend and add these books to your collection. If you're interested in buying these books, check out sites like eBay for some great deals. Or, head to your local bookstore and browse their selection of books & magazine for these thrilling reads.

Now, let's dive into the list, shall we? And don’t worry; I know that too much thrill can make one skip their breath; so I’ll also sprinkle it with a few jokes in between.

1. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson - This book is the first in the Millennium series and follows journalist Mikael Blomkvist as he investigates the disappearance of a young woman. But he can't do it alone, so he enlists the help of Lisbeth Salander, a talented and enigmatic hacker. It's a twisted and thrilling ride that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Joke time: Why did the book go to the doctor? Because it had a spine problem!

2. "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins - Placed in a dystopian future where teenagers are chosen to fight to the death in an annual event called the Hunger Games. It's a fast-paced and intense read that will have you rooting for the underdogs and cheering them on until the very end.

Joke time: Why did the English teacher refuse to lend any books? Because she's past tense!

3. "The Silence of the Lambs" by Thomas Harris - This classic thriller follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling as she tracks down a serial killer with the help of the infamous Dr. Hannibal Lecter. This guy has given nightmares to those who’ve read about him. Ohh! It's a chilling and suspenseful read that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

4. "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn - Nick Dunne tries to clear his name after his wife, Amy, goes missing. But things aren't always what they seem, and the truth is far more twisted than anyone could have imagined. The book has also been adapted into a movie, but we all know books have a different flavor.

5. "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown - A bestseller that follows symbologist Robert Langdon as he unravels a mystery that could change the world forever. With its twists and turns, it's a thrilling adventure that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Now, I know what you're thinking - "That's great, but I've already read all of these!" Well, fear not because I have two bonus suggestions for you.

6. "The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins - Rachel Watson becomes entangled in a missing person investigation. It's a gripping and suspenseful read that will have you questioning everything.

7.
