If you want to read the best there is, check out Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None - she's not called the Queen of Mystery for nothing!
Blaze by Stephen King, (or Richard Backman) read it its an awsome book about mystery and crime.
Southern Discomfort by Caroline Fardig and Twenty One Days by Anne Perry.Love mysteries and love the theme week. Thanks!

Can't wait to eventually get to this one, though it may be a few years away.
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo. This is what got me into the Harry Hole series...even though it was the 7th book in the series, you can still follow along very well.
Books by Dean Koontz a) Phantoms
b) Strangers
c)Whispers
Books by Agatha Christie
a) Ordeal by Innocence
b) A.B.C Murder
c) Halloween Party
Fantastic. I was thinking about reading Sherlock Holmes novels and 5 more books from A Series of Unfortunate Events. Such a great moment to start my journey.

is it a must to read it in a chorno order?
I just finished reading All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda to kick off mystery week. I am currently deciding my next read. I am thinking Caraval , the Axemans Jazz, or Waiting for Wednesday
Listening to The Hippopotamus Pool, another great Amelia Peabody mystery!
I just finished The Advice Column Murders by Leslie Nagel The Advice Column Murders and currently reading Claws for Concern by Miranda James Claws for Concern for Mystery/Thriller Week.

I really enjoy books by Caroline Fardig.
I'm currently re-reading Brotherhood in Death by J.D. Robb. I'm also reading The Plot Is Murder by V.M. Burns. I read mostly mysteries so almost every week is mystery week for me! :)
I love mysteries so I'm reading Hold back the Dark by Kay Hooper
Next on my list: Laurie Cass Bookmobile Cat #4 Pouncing on Murder but I don't have it as audio. I'm busy with spring cleaning and want to listen. I have a long tbr mystery list so not a problem.
Please stop showing this crap on top of my feed.!!! There's already a huge button in the top row, I don't need additional force-feeding!!!
Oof, Mystery Week is a week too late! In Norway, one of the lands of Nordic noir, crime fiction is usually read during the Easter holidays. https://www.thelocal.no/20180329/bloo...

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.
Mystery, suspense and thrillers: My favorite genres
Easily my favorite genre - I'm currently going through Agatha Christie's collections of Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. And Then There Was None was such an enthralling read that I immediately had to read more of her stories.I just finished reading Sometimes I Lie and Murder at the Vicarage with The Mysterious Affair at Styles as my current book. If you're a fan of podcasts or audiobooks, along with true crimes, I would also highly recommend West Cork. I thoroughly enjoyed the way the story unfolded and the amount of information that was presented from interviews.
In fact, I would love suggestions for more true crimes.
I'll probably read Agatha Christie because queen of mysteries
Mary Higgins Clark's I Heard That Song Before, a romantic murder mystery.
I've enjoyed The Lucky Ones by Tiffany Reisz most. I haven't heard of any of these, I rarely read mystery these days.I don't think it's everyone's cup of tea, but it has thriller, mystery, suspense,a bit of horror and some erotica
**Spoiler Alert** This review is connected to my other contribution. I had read the second… or first, either could be read first. The past couple months though I wanted to read the next book Between Shades of Grey. It does, in fact, tie together with Salt to the Sea, another fantastic book by Ruta Sepetys, and is just as good and intriguing to read. Between Shades of Grey is amazing even though the book is so sad and depressing. It has little spurts of just these sweet and loving moments but when you think of just how far Lina and all the ones around her have come is heartbreaking. Just imagining what these innocent people have experienced is so sad and yet they always look on the brighter side of their struggles.
Unlike Ruta’s last book, Salt to the Sea, the book is fully written from the perspective of Lina and her visions of what’s going on around her. It brings light to such a dark, and not very well known, side of the war.
It works your mind and makes you think about the events for hours after you read them. I have come to fall in love with these books because it helps me to always see the deeper meaning and the deeper stories within people’s pasts.
I would definitely recommend this book, and Salt to the Sea. These are both great booksBetween Shades of GrayBetween Shades of Gray and obviously should be read together. Ruta Sepetys has now become one of my favorite authors and I don’t plan on stopping at just these two books.
Most people seem to talk about Christie's Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. My favorites are Tommy and Tuppence. The Complete Tommy And Tuppence I find the characters to be more likable than Poirot or Marple.
I'm finishing
today hopefully.Then I plan to read
And I have to start reading an advance copy of a thriller for a review I'm doing. I forget the title at the moment but it is set in North Korea.
You don't have to read any Christie in ANY order. Don't worry about those who say you do. They may have a rule about publication date, or year, or whatever but you may do what you want!!
Started reading this one.... nice read, Slow paced but a nice one. Hopefully I'll end it in the "THRILLER WEEK 2018"
Louise Penny is my top author right now. Anything by her is excellent on many levels, including a suspenseful mystery to be solved. The characters and settings are outstanding. I am reading them in order. I am ready for A Great Reckoning.
The Return of Sherlock Holmes Started listening to this today... without even realizing that it is Mystery & Thriller Week!!
I'm not a huge fan of mystery/thriller. But I just read a Sherlock Holmes story to help my sister with one of her homework! So I have participated without even knowing. Haha!

Waiting on Christie's "Death on the Nile" to arrive in the mail.

HECK YES! This post makes my heart happy. Something that isn't fantasy driven or anything liberal being shoved down our throats.
I love mysteries and thrillers! Thanks Goodreads!
This is my genre! So I'm always reading mysteries. Agatha Christie is the best at the game!!!!
