Welcome. The majority of what we read is fiction. Good to have you.

Hi Everyone! I am Walter and glad to to be here and read all your posts. I live in the Texas Hill Country, where I work on my suspense thriller series, A Wainwright Mystery, and other standalone novels. I usually write from my library office overlooking the Cibolo Creek.

Thank you! And happy reading!

Hi Walter. We love thrillers.

Welcome to the group.

Hello everyone.

Scottish writer living in England (Yorkshire) here. My first novel, Cuddies Strip, was published by Ringwood Publishing this month, a fictionalised account of true crimes in Perthshire in 1935. I'm currently writing the follow-up.

I guess my favourite crime novels are Golden Age, people like John Dickson Carr (and especially his Carter Dickson pseudonym). In thrillers, I'm more modern in my taste, Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben etc.

Anyway, nice to be here. Looking forward to getting some good recommendations.

I just read The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers and thought it wonderful.

The Nine Tailors is a wonderful novel. There's so much incidental detail that doesn't detract from the mystery but gives such a strong sense of place.

Hi Everyone! I'm a Scientist from Florida that enjoys this genre of books, along with Medical Thrillers. This is the first month I'm participating in this group. I finished The Whisper Man last week (I liked it overall), and I'm about halfway through The Night Raven. I don't think they are books that I was likely to run into and pick out on my own, but I like that this group is making me step outside of the usual authors I read. Thanks for the suggestions so far! Seems like you guys have a great group going.

I read The Whisper Man too. Did you join us in the discussion thread? I'd love to know what you think about some of the spoilers that are posted there. I would have never read it either.

Oh and hello and welcome :)

Hello everyone. I am a crime noir and paranormal noir writer out of Las Vegas Nevada. My books are set in 1950s Las Vegas. I've worked here as an investigator for a major strip hotel for many years and use much of what I've learned in my books. I also write historical non-fiction and as such, I work a little history into my crime noir books as well.

Hi! I saw that you have a wonderful list of mystery books. I'm late to your 8 Perfect Murders Buddy Read but I’m just in time to the Mystery for A Cold Winter set. I’ve got the list in my planner!!! The authors that I’ve enjoyed are Hakan Nessur, Elizabeth George, Val McDermid, Camilla Läckberg, Alan Bradley, Margolin Philip. Thank you for having me here. 🤗🎃🕵️‍♂️

Welcome Paul and Frances.

You are just in time and am glad you can join us. The 8 Perfect Murders was a fun discussion and I'll bet this one will be too.

Hi all, I'm Ruth. I work at our local Library in southern Minnesota. A perfect job for a book lover and someone who loves to read. Have and will read almost anything, but mystery's are my favorite.

Hi everyone!

I'm Kirtana. I'm a 27 yr old computer programmer from India. I've been addicted to mysteries ever since I laid my hands on Agatha Christie novels when I was a teen and even after all these years it's my favourite genre.

Can't wait to start reading with everyone and participating in discussions! :)

Hi all! My name is Brian from NC. Stocking up on some good thrillers, suspensers, crime and conspiracy novels before the second impending 'Rona lock down.

Anyone got any new suggestions? I love to see some newer authors or debuts.

Hello Fellow Bibliophiles!
My name is Vicky, and in joining the group and I am looking forward to reading and participating and discovering new authors and titles. I'm a registered nurse who happens to love reading, really love reading. Nancy Drew got me into book reading when I was a child - a long time ago! Phew! I have loved reading ever since. My book interests are varied. In my spare time, when I am not working and reading, I love spending time with my family, especially my grandchildren, writing letters, journaling, writing a young women and a health newsletter, and learning.
I will give you a clue to a little mystery. I am Sunshine's mom.
Happy Reading, Everyone!

Hi to all, new to the group and excited to be here!

hello everyone! i'm new here and i'm so excited to finally find people that read mostly thriller/crime books! i'm sarah, i'm a biology master student!

i'm currently reading "pieces of her" by Karin Slaughter! i'm a big fan of this author even if i only read 3 books for now…

Hi and welcome Vivliofagos and Sarah. Hope you join a few of our discussions.

Hi everyone

My reading goes in fits and starts according to work and other commitments!

I like reading books that help explore what drives people to do the things they do (more pretentiously, books that explore 'the human condition').
So I'm interested in books that explore and educate on people's beliefs, thoughts, feelings, motivations etc.

I read various books about Christianity but I also enjoy novels too including detective fiction as I find these too explore motivations that drive people! I also like the challenge of trying to 'solve' the puzzle (which I rarely do...)

Laurie

Hi Laurie. The "trying to solve" is what it's all about for me too.

Welcome to our group Morgan.

Hi, I’m Amy and brand new to good reads :) currently reading ‘Eve of Man’ but with a large collection of books ready to sink into for 2021!

Hello everyone! I'm Mandy and I'm a huge fan of true crime novels and mysteries. I'm new to being a part of an online community so I'm still learning the ropes but I'm looking forward to making new friends and reading good books.

I love true crime too. My favorite author is Gregg Olsen

Hi Amy. A large collection of books is a good thing. I need to sink into my TBR list in 2021 and clean it up a LOT.

Hi Mandy. I'm a fan of true crime too. We have a monthly group true crime read and the discussion is fun. Hope you'll join.

Awesome! I think I've seen a few of his books on the Kindle store. I'll follow him and add a few of his books to my Want To Read list.

Hi, I am James, I do like crime novels. I am a fan of Elly Griffiths have only read the Crossing Places, Michael Wood read the Hangman's Hold because I liked the cover and Bill Rogers the pick the spade and the crow I read on Kindle. I have read many others, but my favourite genre is the ghost story and biographies/autobiographies.

Welcome, James!

Hello, everyone! I'm Woman Reading or WR in the US. When the pandemic stress increased last summer, I binge read urban fantasy, even though crime fiction has been the genre I've read the longest, starting with Nancy Drew books. It's a new year - happy 2021! - so I thought it was time to join and seek new ideas and other avid readers.

Hi WR and welcome. I started my crime reading with Nancy Drew too. I belong to a Nancy Drew book club.

Hi, I am Subhajit. I mostly read crime thrillers, but sometime I love to take a break and try out other other genres. I started out my mystery reading with the great "Sherlock Holmes". Also I am a huge fan of spy thriller. My best spy thriller till now is "Eye of the needle" which I read last year. I also love Ed Brubakar's crime graphic novels. Any Ed Brubakar's fan here?

Yes, Eye of the Needle is a great book. I recommend that you try the 39 steps by John Buchan. I haven't heard of Ed Brubakar.

James wrote: "Yes, Eye of the Needle is a great book. I recommend that you try the 39 steps by John Buchan. I haven't heard of Ed Brubakar."

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try that. If you like to read crime graphic novel, I'll recommend you to read his "Kill, or be Killed". You won't disappoint.

Sherlock Holmes is hard to beat. I'll have to look into Eye of the Needle and 39 Steps. I love a good spy mystery.

Yes definitely, especially the Hound of the Baskervilles.

I'm Karen. I am new to Goodreads groups, and just joined this month. I was born in Cleveland Oh, lived in Boston, Ma, and in Erlangen, Germany. I've always loved mysteries and thrillers. My first mysteries were, of course, Nancy Drew. By 6th grade, I had read all the Sherlock Holmes stories. My introduction to thrillers was Ludlum's Matarese Circle and I've been hooked ever since! For some reason, I have not been reading as much as I would like to. That's why I joined and set an achievable goal of 2 books per month. In addition to mysteries and thrillers, I also enjoy history, biography, nonfiction, and crime. I'm looking forward to the postings.

Hi Karen. You've come to the right place. I still read Nancy Drew. I mean what's not to love about Nancy and her gang :) I hope you'll join a few of our discussions.
