John Hancock (johngregoryhancock) | 65 comments Jac: you'd love Zoë Sharp, UK writer. if you've not read any of her Charlie Fox series, you're in for a treat.

I also draw celebrities who tweet me, and I've drawn Zoë and Joel Goldman: artsprocket.com

Donald Hello. I live in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada and am thrilled to be part of this great on-line chat about mysteries. I am presently enjoying the books of Brian McGilloway, the author of the Irish police inspector, Benedict Devlin. I just finished his second book in this series, "Gallows Lane" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am also reading "When Will There be Good News?" by one of my favorite authors, Kate Atkinson. I really enjoy reading everybody's comments each day.
Don

message 1020: by Helen (new)

Helen Howe | 4 comments Hi, I'm Helen Howe, a reader, and also a writer of psychological fiction. My novel, 'Black is the Colour' is available on Amazon. I live in north Derbyshire, England and my writing is set around that area.
As a teenager I loved Stephen King, James Herbert and Dean Koontz, but my tastes have mellowed somewhat since! Now I love anything by Lesley Glaister, Barbara Vine and Ian McEwan.
Looking forward to being recommended some good mysteries!

message 1045: by Dee (new)

Dee (hatcherdee) Hello everyone. My name is Dee and I live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere near the Central California Coast. I am retired and loving it. I love mysteries and thrillers, but am currently on a Science Fiction kick, so until I get tired of those, you probably won't hear much from me. But I always come back to mysteries. When I can't concentrate on anything else, they are my go-to solace. Looking forward to making new friends.
