Mystery & Thriller Week 2018

I will read Devonshire Scream by Laura Childs.

Wow

I rarely read mysteries and thrillers but this week I'm reading Macbeth by Jo Nesbo (ARC courtesy of Read it Forward).

I'm going to stick with PD James "Devices and Desires" Gotta track down a serial killer in Detective Adam Dalgliesh's childhood vacation spot.

Picking up my copy of The Disappeared by C.J. Box tomorrow. Love this series!

every week is mystery week filled with suspense, serial killers, suspects, deep dark secrets, and incredible characters

I think i'm going to rent a thriller from the library and then update this.

What a great week - My FAVORITE genre!

The Dark Angel by Elly Griffiths . Rapidly followed by Kindness Goes Unpunished by Craig Johnson . I'm on an absolute mystery kick this year.

I'm reading Sherlock Holmes

I'm gonna go with Still Life this week as it will help with BOTM as well :)

I’m listening to Edge of Darkness by Karen Rose. Best romantic suspense author out there.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to take a break from my favourite genre. I'm currently reading Ken Follett's "Column of Fire," but a couple of days ago I finished "Killer on the Wall" by Emma Kavanagh.

I know it's probably not listed on here, but I recently read THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW by AJ Finn. It was so worth the hype!
That was one of the best mystery/thriller novels I've ever read in a long time. I also read BIG LITTLE LIES after such a LONG time as welI. I need to read more thrillers honestly. I feel like from the ones I have picked up before, there is something very eery and dark about the writing style(s) and about the characters too !
If you guys have any recommendations, let me know

IS THIS GOOD? I HEARD A LOT OF GREAT THINGS ABOUT IT AND I WANT TO ADD IT TO MY TBR BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M SO CONFLICTED TO PICK IT UP HAHA

I'm currently reading Little Fires Everywhere

Probably going to delve into The Sealed Letter. I was told it might satisfy some of my Wilkie Collins cravings...?

Just finished "The Way through the Woods" by Colin Dexter, next will be another Inspector Morse novel.

With the passing of the late, great Philip Kerr I've already ordered his next, 'Greeks Bearing Gifts' which comes out tomorrow. Great mysteries with a great character.

V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton
Sad the series ends at "Y" but I'm glad her family is honoring her request.

THIS IS ALSO MY FAVORITE GENRE. When don't I read suspense or mystery!
I just started a new author for me - Jussi Adler-Olsen . I began with
The Keeper of Lost Causes. So far I love it
Who has written the best: so many good authors and books and so little time.
My favorite is anything by Deaver, Coben, Box, Child, Connelly, Thor, Sandford, R. White, Craig Johnson, David Housewright, Krueger, Martini, and Stephen White to name a few.

I just finished reading The Great Adventures of Sherlock Holmes! I think I'll check out another Sherlock Holmes book of short stories from the library for this week.

You said it! It's the same with me.

Katherine wrote: "My favorite mysteries are Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey novels"

Agatha Christie is my favorite and I have read almost everything by her. Going through the Harriet Vane - Lord peter mysteries now. I am on the last one of these, Busman's Honeymoon.

Ian wrote: "I read this last year and as far as I could tell it was a stand alone book. I don't believe there is anything needed to read before hand but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong."

You are right. And Then There Were None is a stand-alone. :)

Amy wrote: "The Return of Sherlock Holmes Started listening to this today... without even realizing that it is Mystery & Thriller Week!!"

Coincidentally, I was just thinking of The Adventure of the Empty House from The Return of Sherlock Holmes and how much I like the story. I have read the complete Sherlock Holmes so many times that each story stands out clearly in my mind! Happy reading. :)

I'm reading Lemon Meringue Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke. When I finish that one I have Kill Shot by Susan Sleeman waiting in the wings.

This is the one for my week... I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer

Just discovered Susan Hill’s Simon Serailler series. There are 8 books so far. I have read through 5 and am getting ready to start 6.
They are excellent! If you are looking for a great, new series-give this a try!

Memento mori

Oh wow, what a coincidence since I'm reading a mystery book; The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith. I'm already 1/3 of the book now and will read a thriller book by Ira Levin.

yes, too bad the movie turned out so awfully!

Memento Mori by Ruth Downie. A perfect mix of mystery in ancient Rome and medicine.

Rachel wrote: "Favorite genre. I'm reading The Woman in Cabin 10 this week."

Is it great?

Tengo en lista de espera a varios autores de novela negra. Estoy entre John Grisham, Henninh Mankell, Jo Nesbo o Elmer Mendoza. Les cuento cuál leí al final

I'm reading Nashville, by Antonia Michaelis. It's not very well known as I could see for the few ratings that it has, but I expect great things from it! :)

Ten little niggers from Agatha Christie... and I'm already enjoying it!

The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen.

The Two-Faced Truth by Roy & Dee Kay.

Melissa wrote: "Desperation by Stephen King (narrated by the excellent Kathy Bates)"

is this a real thing?

Just started The Break Down by B.A. Paris!

oh wow !! What a coincidence !! I just started reading Agatha Christie's classic 4:50 from Paddington. I am looking forward to read more other books by Agatha

In the future, Zaira, use the other title for that book "And Then There Were None." "Ten Little Niggers" is incredibly offensive to me. It's sickening. I am African-American.

My only most curious is In Cold Blood,i don't know when to start.

I love reading mysteries written by women with female characters as the central character. I've just finished Sue Grafton's G is for Gumshoe tonight and I'm about 50 pages into Janet Evanovich's Two for the Dough.
My friends in our local mystery book club tell me that Sara Paretsky's V. I. Warshawski character is just as intriguing as Grafton's famous sleuth Kinsey Millhone, so I'm sure I'll become a fan too.
Wow, those women sure know how to write suspense. I'm so impressed. I've also been watching all the Agatha Christie DVDs featuring her Miss Marple character. What fun! Classic mysteries, I love "em.

This week I'm reading Cherry Cheesecake Murder and Final Sentence. I love the cozies!

Also reading I, Ripper in search of gore 🤓

I am currently reading Piasa but I am a big fan of Agatha Christie, and I always have her books along my bedside table.

My favorite books are the DARK MATERIALS series.
I would like to read MORTAL INSTRUMENTS by Cassandra Clare. Has anybody read it? How is it?

I'm working my way through Sherlock Holmes so joining in without realising. I read the first one then tried reading something else, but was just thinking about Sherlock Holmes so read the next one. Did the same again. So I'm just going to keep going with them all!

just finished reading Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz, most enjoyable
