Mystery & Thriller Week 2018

One complaint: I know I'm on a tablet, but I enjoy goodreads on my browser and not the app. I hate the app compared to the full site and dont like being forced onto the app to view these lists. I figured out the way around it, but its still frustrating.

Try Peter May, Extraordinary People (The Enzo Files#1)...the clues are fun.

I’m reading Nora Roberts Shelter in Place. What a wonderful book! Just started it last night and I’m already on page 200.

My latest mystery novel, Death PromiseDeath Promise is a mystery thriller and sequel to Death Legacy which received excellent reviews. Death Promise is available for pre-order and will be published May 2, 2018.

I just read Carl Hiaason's Tourist Season It was fun, razor sharp and AMAZING.

Listening to Fatherland - nothing is more gripping than alternative history laced with a murder investigation.

Reading Three Body Problem - nothing is more gripping than an extra-terrestrial exploration laced with a murder investigation.

The Haunting of Ashburn House by Darcy Coates

I just finished reading The Chalk Pit by Elly Griffiths. It was absolutely wonderful as were all the books in the Ruth Galloway series.

I have already finished and reviewed my book for the mystery/thriller week and it was so good

I'm reading "River of Darkness," the first in the John Madden mystery series.

I just discovered Heather Gudenkauf! Definitely a good find for those love suspense genre!

Copycat by Erica Spindler

The Bryant & May series of books by Christopher Fowler. Quirk, dark, witty and full of some amazing facts about bygone London. Well worth a read.

Totally Agree with You. Anything Agatha Christie for me.

Also want to catch up on my Mary Higgins Clark books . Omg I nearly forgot I have Silkworm by Robert G still to read. Cant wait...

Going back to my childhood re-reading some Girl Detective stories starting with The Secret of the Old Clock

Ragdoll by Daniel Cole

My all-time favorite genre.
I just finished Pacific Burn by Barry Lancet.
Right now I'm reading NERDS: National Espionage, Rescue, and Defense Society. It's a middle grade book, but it's thrilling, mysterious and funny.

I love mysteries and thrillers too. I finished reading "Secrets in Death" by J. D. Robb. Now, I reading "Dark Harbor" by Christy Barritt.

I like "And Then There were None" I like a lot of Agatha's books. "Death on the Nile", "ABC Murders", "A Murder is Announced", "The Body in the Library", "Curtain", "Mysterious Affair at Styles", etc.

This is wonderful ! I recommend Charles Toftoy's EYES series and Othello Bach's SIMON and SACRIFICE. They'll keep you reading!

i like this

I readThe Magpie Lord It's what I would classify as a magical mystery.

I just finished reading Pressed to Death (A Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum Mystery) by Kirsten Weiss. I'm not usually a mystery buff, but I like the paranormal aspect of this series. Thanks to the author for encouraging me to broaden my horizons!

Try "Enigma" by Robert Harris. No riddles, but a lot of numbers and mathematics.

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

Her reading of "Silence of the Lambs" is also excellent. I was crazy enough to start it on a Friday night in college. I couldn't put it down ... even though it creeped me out for the whole weekend, especially walking back to the dorms after midnight!

Great timing, Goodreads. Agatha Christie's play 'Witness For The Prosecution' has been revived and is now running in London County Hall. The trailer looks amazing and I'm so excited to go see it. I wonder who else on GR is going?

One that I just read today that I fell completely in love with was Little Monsters by Kara Thomas. It's a high school disappearance mystery and thriller that was deeply, compulsively satisfying. I gave it a 4.45 out of 5 stars, because like most mysteries and thrillers, they have a slow beginning as the author is developing the plot to the mystery and giving us background information. About half way though, I honestly could not put it down! Kara Thomas is a pure genius, and I love how this particular book was not predicting at all. Literally all of my predictions were wrong, and not at all what I expected. I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an excellent, non predicting mystery and thriller read, that you won't stop thinking about even after you finish it! I will have a book review up for this book Monday (April 09, 2018). You will find it here on Goodreads, or on my personal blog For Love of a Book ( www.forloveofabook.wixsite.com/blog ).

File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents

Huge fan of Agatha Christie, and especially "And then there were none". But for a while in the 90s, I devoured Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series. It was when forensic science was still a new kid on the block.

Incredible offensive archaic term...pls change it. Thank you.

Louise Penny is so, so wonderful. Great writer, fresh setting, wonderful lead character. Second only to Christie for me. Must read in sequence, though each story is self-contained. So worth following Gamache's story, too. Suspenseful to the point of having to put the book down in order to breathe.

Thanks for mentioning this author and her books. I love mysteries mixed with the paranormal. I've signed up for Kirsten's email list. Thanks to your mention here, I may become a fan of her work also. Happy reading!

I finished James Patterson's 1st to Die and have started Janet Evanovich's Two for the Dough. I love to read mysteries like these with strong minded, empowered women as the central character and problem solver.

I'm listening to The Scam while i drive, and Protocol and Til Death Do Us Party when i can hold a book in my hands and not wreck myself!

YES !!! Thank you

I have just started to reread Agatha Christie, but they must have the Tom Adams covers from Fontana. I'm busy trawling the secondhand book shops where I can pick them up for £1 each.

Judith Flanders. Her foray into not-quite-cozies is quite enjoyable. Start with a Murder of Magpies. #4 issued in May (U.S.)
