The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

Hi, all. This idea came up after asking another member about possible referrals she may have that are similar to Gerry Boyle's Jack McMorrow series.

So, I thought this might be a fun way to get referrals for comparable authors, series, or books. Apologies if this topic already exists.

So, with that said, let me start with the above:

If I liked Gerry Boyle's Jack McMorrow series, I would love _____.

Keep it going!

If you liked Gerry Boyle's Jack McMorrow series, you would love, Olivia Stowe's "Charlotte Diamond Mysteries".

If I liked Preston/Childs' "Pendergast" series, I would love________?

If you liked the Preston/Childs Pedergast series, you would love "The Devotion of Suspect X, by Keigo Higashino.

If I liked Dave Roubicheaux series by James Lee Burke, I would love _________?

If you liked the David Roubicheaux series, by James Lee Burke, you'll love, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series from Louise Perry.


If I like the Thursday Next series from Jasper Fforde, I'd really like_______?

I hate to break up a beautiful thing, and you're on a roll here, but this is a brilliant thread idea!

Well then Mark, join in! Everybody's welcome to play. It's just that we've been the only ones so far. :D

Except I haven't read the Thursday Next series from Jasper Fforde!!

Haha! That's ok. I haven't read the books I picked either! I just did some research.

Search for Thursday Next, read the synopsis, then type in "fairy tale detective" something that she does and I think something will come up. Then, just plug it in!

It's a great way to find authors and books you've never heard of and would probably skip over. Like the first entry, I'd never heard of that author, but now, I'd like to read something from him.

Ok...now you've got the general idea, find me a book is like! :D

If you liked the Thursday Next series from Jasper Fforde, then you'd really like (I hope) The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley...

And in a complete change of tone...

If I like Lee Child's Jack Reacher Series, I would love_______?

If you liked Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, you would love Robert Ludlum's Bourne series.

Mark, you did an excellent job! I actually have marked the book a "to-read".

Thanks!!! :D

If I liked Look Again by Lisa Scottoline, I would like

If I liked Kathy Reichs, the Tempe Brennan series, I would love.......

if you like Kathy Reichs you would like Alex Kava's Maggie O'Dell Series

If you like Lisa Scott Line then you would like Tami Hoag

If you liked Robert Ludlum's Bourne series, you'll love Enemy Combatant. I did not intend to model it after Bourne, but my focus group said they thought of the central character as sort of a female Jason Borne. One way it differs (in addition to the gender of the central character) is that my book begins with her childhood and ends about where Bourne Identity begins - so you can see the psychological forces that helped turned her into a weapon.

If you like the Bourne Series, you would love the Gabriel Alon books by Daniel Silva.

If I liked Love in the Time of Cholera, I would love.....

If you loved 'Love in the time of cholera' then you would like 'Girl with a Pearl Earing'

I'm reposting for her since she got missed and previous person didn't ask for a recommendation.

If you like James Rollins' Sigma Force series, you'd love Pagan Moon by William G. Davis. (At least that's what a couple of reviewers have said ...

If you like Steig Larsssons Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series you will love Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series.

If you like Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series, you will love Jussi Adler-Olsen's Carl Morck series.
