Hello, Noelle. :) Nice to be a part of this group.

Welcome, welcome. Thank you for joining. I hope you enjoy the upcoming book selections.

Hi Everyone
I came across this group as I was looking for one about Female Crime Thriller authors.My favourite authors in this genre are Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and I am to be reading Dreda Say Mitchell & Roberta Kray over the next few weeks.Looking forward to talking to you all.
If anyone also has any suggestions of any other groups that I could join on here I would appreciate it as I've spent ages trawling them with not much luck in this subject yet.

Hi Furny welcome to the group!

Thanks for the warm welcome Noelle!

Hi!
I joined this group because I have and have read
all the Sue Grafton books, all Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta books (I just finished Red Mist today), James Patterson's Women's Murder Club books, and all but the last two Martha Grimes' Richard Jury series. I have started Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books, but have only read the first 5 - I have a long way to go in that one to catch up! (I have most of Ellis Peter's Brother Cadfael books, but I've only read about half of them and don't know when I'll get back to them.) Bones is one of my favorite TV series, but I haven't read and don't own any of that series.

Welcome Lanny. You're doing better than I have. I've only read one of the Kay Scarpetta books, even tho I have them all. The Stephanie Plum books are hilarious, but I cry every time she kills a poor defenseless car. I'm not familiar with Martha Grime's work but I'll definitely check her out. Hope you enjoy the book club.

Hi Lanny
Welcome to the group. Wow, you really have covered some books in this genre!.

I'm Cindi and live in Memphis, TN with my Hubby and 6 furbabies. After chronic back problems that included 5 surgeries, I am now "medically retired" ... I spend my time doing Cross Stitch and reading... I love my Kindle !!! I have read Patricia Cornwell's "Scarpetta" series except Red Mist, which is in my TBR ... I, like so many otherss, got frustrated with the progresion of the characters in this series ... I think that is why I have not started this last book in the series yet... I have also read all of Sue Grafton's "Kinsey Milhone" series to date and James Patterson's "Women's Murder Club" (can't wait for the next installment)... I am now reading Tess Gerritsen's "Rizolli & Isles" series...

Thrown into my Womens Mysteries, I also enjoyed the first several James Patterson "Alex Cross" and also wandered into Paranomal (Vampires & Werewolves)... tho not too crazy about how the Twilight series took the turn in the last book...

Welcome Cindi! Wow you're farther ahead in your reading. I just started rereading "One for the Money" I like to read the book again before I go to the movie.

Hello!
I'm Nash from Malaysia. I came across this group while looking for certain author. I love woman mystery. I'm a fan of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I was looking forward to read more woman mystery book. I hope to be introduce to much more woman mystery :)

Hi Nash,

Welcome to the group.

Pasta :)

Hi Everyone, I love all mystery series. I am working through one of the "Inspector Lynley" series, Barbara Havers is great in this series. I try to pace myself through series so I read one Lynley, one Kinsey, one Scarpetta etc. It will be good to find some new series to read.

Hi Debsp & Nash, welcome to the group!:0).
Looking forward to discussing great books with you all.
Furny x

Hi everyone - my name is Susan and I live in London. I am a member of an online book club with Furny already and I love crime/mystery novels. I look forward to joining in with this months book.

Hi Susan, Great to find you on here! :0)

Hi Furny, have had the James Patterson book on my kindle for ages and have never read anything by him before.

No I haven't either so have the first one ready to try and fit in before the April read on here which also looks really interesting and unusual.

Oh, I will have a look Furny. I love mystery books, especially with female heroines, so I am looking forward to joining in with everyone.

Hello! I look forward to being a part of your group because I can't seem to get enough mysteries. I am always looking for new and interesting reads!

Welcome Becky,

I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who can't get enough mysteries.

Pasta :)

I love all types of books, but I always come back to mysteries. I agree, it will be nice to try some new authors and series. I have almost finished this months book and have really enjoyed it.

Hi there, my names Shelley and I'm a Mystery Addict lol. I've read all of Patricia Cornwells Scarpetta novels except Red Mist which I'm just starting. I've also read a lot of Tess Gerritson, Kathy Reichs , Tami Hoag and Karin Slaughter. Look forward to joining in with the discussions. :)

Hi Becky and Shelley, welcome!. :0).
I will also finish the first months read this weekend hopefully and I'm enjoying it so far also.
I have just placed an order for next months read at the Library, they did have the book as a stand alone read but in a book called 'Two Cats three tales' which from what I can gather is the first three books in the series with our book as the first.

Hi Jennifer, welcome! :0)
Great, we will be able to have some great discussions.

Welcome Jennifer!

Hi Jennifer, I am new to the group too - welcome!

Hello everyone, I am new here and thought I would check out this group. I am currently reading the Scarpetta Series and just finished the third book, All that remains.

Oh was it good? I'm planning on reading that book next month. Welcome to the group!

Yes welcome Angela!:0)

Thanks, and yes it was really good!

Hello, my name is Anne. I love mysteries and thrillers. especially when 1 of the main protagonist(s) is a female.
I thank Pasta for her letter, because I'm going to be a "lurker" until I feel comfortable here.

Feel free to lurk as long as you like :) The rest of the online stuff I'm a member of I'm always a lurker. This is the only thing I'm actually active in.

I am very excited to be a part of this group!! I am especially excited to see that you all are reading a lot of series I want to read from the very beginning, which is going to help me to jump start reading those!! I have already read all of the Women's Murder Club books by James Patterson, with the exception of his latest one, 10th Anniversary. However, since I'm a little behind, I'm going to get caught up by reading The Surgeon and A is for Alibi. I am in the middle of 2 books right now so I will probably miss the May read but plan to jump right in for June! Thank you for the great reads to come and thank you for starting each series at the very beginning!! I don't like joining book clubs that pick a book in the middle of the series. I'm a little OCD about reading a series from start to finish. :)

Hi Aiesha
Welcome to our group. :0)

Hi Aiesha and welcome...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who likes to read a series from start to finish.

Pasta :)

I'm new to the group, also...I love mysteries of all kinds! It will be a nice twist having a group dedicated to mysteries by and about women.

I have read all of "The Cat Who..." series, all of the Kinsey Millhone books by Sue Grafton, and all of the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich.

I am looking forward to the May read, though! I've been wanting to read Kathy Reichs for a while now. I really LOVE the "Bones" TV show based on the series, so hopefully the books are equally good.

Other series on my TBR pile: James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series & the "In Death" books by J.D. Robb.

Aiesha - I'm also totally OCD about reading a series in order! :-)

Hi Valerie, welcome to the group!. :0)

Well... I'm going to have to make sure I DON'T miss the May read if it is based off the "Bones" TV show. I haven't seen it but that was one of the series I was interested in reading. Also, I absolutely LOVE the "In Death" Series!! I've read 12 of the books before taking a break but want to start back up here soon! This group will have some awesome reads and I can't wait!

I have had Kathy Reichs on my TBR pile for ages and ages - looking forward to reading that one.

Welcome to Valerie and Aiesha. x

I joined because I love mysteries, I have read numerous ones and am always interested in reading more!

Hey everyone! I joined this group because as of recent I graduated nursing school and now that everything has settled down with starting my new job I can finally get back to reading my favorite past time. I have read all of Janet Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum" series and I'm a James Patterson fan so I hope to read the bones series as well!

Hi Lauren- Congratulations on graduating and welcome to the group! :0)

Hi all,

I'm Debbie. I joined this group because I love the Sue Grafton, Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs books.

I like to read, but I'm not fast at it. It takes me a while to read a book. I am reading more though, now that I got my Kindle for Christmas.

Hi Lauren and Debbie,welcome to the group.

Yes, welcome Debbie and Lauren!.

Welcome, I hope you enjoy the reading :)

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes. I started this months book yesterday and hopefully it wont take me too long so I can read some of the books that yall have already read that way I don't get behind.
