The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

I'm a mystery reader from Canada, I've always loved mysteries. I currently read a lot of cozy mysteries, but I have a special place in my heart for the more thrilling mysteries out there.

I typically read John Lescroart and John Grisham, so I'm looking forward to learning about many other great authors.

Hi Erin, Welcome to the group. We read all sorts of mysteries and your TBR list will just grow and grow.

Hi Erin, nice to have you with us. I'm a cozy reader myself... too much of a wimp for anything too gruesome!

Hi Erin,

Do you read either Peter Robinson or Louise Penny? The are both Canadian authors. Penny writes a series set in Canada, while Robinson writes an excellent series set in Britain. (Robinson was actually born in Britain and emigrated to Canada. His protagonist is Chief Inspector Alan Banks.) I had a chance to see the two of them appearing together at the Poisoned Pen bookstore in Scottsdale, AZ, a few months ago--a very nice evening.

Another series I like is the Tea Shop Mysteries written by Laura Childs - she also has a scrapbooking series and I think one related to cooking/food.

While very certainly *not* a cozy I did enjoy The Calling by Inger Ash Wolfe. It was a real page turner as a serial killer works his way across Canada.

It is supposed to be written by a "famous" Canadian author who did not want to admit they wrote a mystery. There is a second in the series but I haven't read that one yet.

I've just found Louise Penny and I'm really enjoying Inspector Gamache. I'll have to look up Peter Robinson. Thanks!

Thank you, I've added this as well. It sounds really interesting.
