Modern Good Reads discussion

After the great response to last month's BOTM, it looks like we need another month to get through some more favorites. For June, we'll be discussing more of our favorite thrillers and mysteries.

We will be picking form your choices, but one book will be decided by your votes and the second by the moderators.

Please nominate your favorite “Thriller & Mystery” to our list and we will get the poll up soon. First the ground rules:
- No self-nominations
- The nominations will be open for three days
- Nominations will be listed in a first come first serve manner, with the books with the most nominations heading the list
- Total number of nominations taken for the poll is twenty.
- If you prefer to email me your choices, those will be added at the end of that day’s nominations.

Thursday's Children

I enjoy all Nicci French's novels.

I nominate the awesome new release thriller The Bone Church, by Victoria Dougherty.

:)

2666 by Roberto Bolaños.

Uncaged

The Troop

I nominate The Bone Church: A Novel

The Spectrum Conspiracy is my nomination for June.

@Christoph: I don't think we need to second nominations anymore.

I will nominate by Dorothy Sayers even though I haven't rea it yet since I've heard good things about the whole series.

@Kirstin: Is it o.k. that this is the first book in a series? I am in so many groups that I cannot keep the rules for nominations in all of them straight.

@Kirstin: Please make a list of the nominations so far when you get the chance. Thanks for both things in advance.

Thank Natalie, I had not seen that the book had been nominated already.

@Natalie, yes it is okay for it the be the first of a series.

@Christoph, yes, please second a nomination if it is the book you want to read. The books with the highest number of nominations will be moved to the top of the list so they can be included above a book with only one nomination. :)

Here are the nominations so far:
Thursday Children by Nicci French
The Bone Church by Victoria Dougherty
Relentless by Dean Koontz
The Pelican Brief by John Grisham
2666 by Roberto Bolaños
Uncaged by Joe Gazzam
The Troop by Nick Cutter
The spectrum Conspiracy by Craig Faris
Whose Body? By Dorothy Sayers

Is it too late to add one more?

Joe by H.D. Gordon

Are these all American authors? Time to change that
How about When was the last time you read a book set in Iceland?

Koontz is the best in this genre in my opinion.

@Alana, no the nominations are still open. It will be open until Saturday evening, then I will close the thread and choose twenty titles (highest number of nominations first, and then in order of nominations)

The Salinger Contract

That's an excellent suggestion. I read the entire work by Arnaldur Indriðason

Thank you for all the wonderful nominations. This thread is now closed, and I will compile the poll.
