The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

Hi gang,- Lee - reporting for duty.

I thought I'd quit lurking & join the group. I've belonged to the HA ( Horror Aficionado's ) group for the past two plus years. But if you take a look at my book shelf...I have read & read a lot of mysteries & thrillers also.

Currently reading Black Money Archer #13

Hi Lee. Welcome to the group. Maybe we can entice you with some new or at least new to you mysteries.

Thanks, Donna. Don't worry about having to entice me. I have quite a few series I have enjoyed. ( I started ready horror as a kid )just happened to meet that group first!

Who's the sweetie in your avatar?

Thank you Hayes...

That would be grandson, Wyatt James.

What a smile. Very cute!

HI Lee
Welcome to our group. Am I right did Paul Newman star in the drowning pool??

You are correct Stan.

Harper was first ('66) Drowning Pool ('75)

I've never looked it up, but I wonder if MacDonald didn't want then to use Archer as his name? It was Lew Harper, in the movies.

Hi Lee!! I checked out your book list, I also love Stephen King and Dean Koontz. I plan to start reading the Repairman Jack series and Monkeewrench series. I am anal with series though, I have to read them in order, which is causing a delay for me to start The Repairman Jack series. I have a few hardbacks and will download some on my Nook before I will be able to get started. Welcome to the group!!

Thanks, Linda!

I have a feeling I may be more anal then you ,when it comes to reading a series! :) Like to follow the characters along their journey....in order!

I've read the first two in the Monkeewrench series, good stuff up in the Minneapolis area.

I'm reading Song of Susannah now, great saga. One more after this one!

I really enjoy the Monkeewrench series too. Good stuff indeed.
