Welcome to all our Newbies! We are so happy to have you with us and look forward to you participating in the discussions!
I just joined the group. I live in Eagan, Mn. I am retired and reading has always one of my favorite things. I enjoy mysteries and am currently reading The Forbidden Garden.
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
Hi, Everyone, I'm Sarah Kennedy and I live in Virginia. My first mystery, The Altarpiece, has just come out from Knox Robinson Publishers. It's the first of a series set in Tudor England.I love Ian Rankin, Morag Joss, and Tana French. I'm reading Broken Harbor right now! Anything crime-related interests me. My website is http://sarahkennedybooks.wordpress.com and I'm really excited to find this group!

Hi, Andrea! Where are you? I live just north of Lexington and teach at Mary Baldwin in Staunton. Are you close by?
I am in Elkins, it's only a couple of hours from the Virginia border. I am about 2 1/2 to 3 hours away from Harrisonburg
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!
Welcome Helen! I love psychological thrillers! I am also getting ready to read Barbara Vine's newest book as soon as I receive it!Jump in and enjoy the conversation!

Yulia, I want to hear how you like the Tana French. She is a favorite of mine, but there is one element of that book I questioned. No spoiler! I will wait for your reaction!
Hi everyone, I am a murder reader, I don't like psychological thrillers,they give me the heebie jeebies. I like Agatha Christie, and some of the newer writers too.
Welcome all newbies. Such a diverse, interesting group we have. I look forward to getting to know everyone.

I just finished reading "Ransom River" by Meg Gardiner. I had never read anything by her before, but is was a very good mystery. It starts with Rory on as jury member when masked men invade the courtroom. The mystery revolves on why they did this

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.
