[Ava]

Hi,

My name's Ava Marsh and I live in London. I love reading psychological thrillers, particularly at literary end eg. Gone Girl or Alys Always. I also write, but don't worry, I'm not here to spam.

Good to see a number of Brits in this group!

Ava

[Ava]

Jenni, I'm ashamed to say I haven't read any of their stuff, though I've been meaning to read some Patricia Highsmith for years.

Alys Always is by Harriet Lane. It's a very different kind of psychological thriller - quiet and sophisticated.

[Ann]

Hi, my name is Ann. I live in Wisconsin, and am a working mom. Been married for 17 years, and have one son and a golden retriever who I adore. Have been a fan of mystery and thrillers since age 11 when I read my first Agatha Christie book. Love Louise Penny's inspector Gamache series, and other thrillers from Michael Connolly, Nelson DeMille, twc. Looking forward to your recommendations as well.

I would rather read about it, as opposed to watching news shows. 48 Hours is on Saturday nights here, and we spend it on the lake or relaxing.

[Christine]

Hi, I'm new to Goodreads and an avid reader of mysteries, suspense novels, and thrillers. I live in the Pacific Northwest (US). Although I have some favorite mystery authors, I'm looking forward to expanding my reading horizons through this group and discovering new books to add to my nightstand. (I'm already intrigued by the description of Alys Always below!)

I'm also a Goodreads Author, with my debut mystery, Tip of a Bone, coming out this fall.

Hi, Christine! What is Tip of a Bone about? That's a great title!

Thanks, Patrick -- this is actually the third title for the book as my early readers thought the first two (working titles) were dull! (And they were.) In a nutshell, Tip of a Bone is the story of a woman who moves to the Oregon coast, seeking a fresh start after divorce, only to get caught up in several mysteries -- including a missing activist, an arson fire, and two buried bones.

I will have to be on the lookout for it! It's not out yet, right?

Hi, Patrick. I see you write books about Monterrey -- I'll mention them to a friend in my writing group, who loves to read noir. The official pub date is 9/3, although it'll be released before that (and currently in a Giveaway).

[Eva]

Hello, I became a Goodreader's fan a couple of months ago. I love reading books, especially mysteries, psychological novels. I live in Montréal, Québec (Canada) and I want to improve my English skills by reading English. I love such authors as Wendy Staub Corsi, cozy mysteries and all kinds of new mysteries. I read between 2-3 books per day, while taking the metro to work in the morning, and returning home. I hope to discover many good mystery authors, and share my comments with you.

[April]

I am a SAH Mumma, a wife and an author. I have four boys. I am writing a mystery novel...not lately, but sometimes. :) I adore reading mysteries, also

[Catherine]

Hello ladies,

Welcome to the group! May you enjoy it as much as the rest of us.

Welcome Eva. Reading 2-3 books per day is pretty amazing!!! Montreal is a beautiful city.

Welcome, Christine. I live in the Pacific Northwest too. Specifically, eastern Washington (Mid-Columbia)

[Eva]

Sorry, I made a mistake, I read 2 books a week, it would have been impossible ! I was born in Poland, but moved to Montréal as a child. Thanks for your greetings!

[April]

Oh yeah. Lol. I live in a small Maine town and am being published in an anthology in September, though the genre is Horror not Mystery. :)

Spending a summer in Richland, WA as a kid is one of my favorite memories--swimming, picking cherries, riding bikes. Happy times! Thanks for the welcoming words, everyone. I look forward to the book discussions ahead.

Writing horror stories which are possibly set in small Maine towns.There is one other guy called Stephen King who also writes them if yours are half as good as him I would become a fan.

[Mark]

Hi folks. Long time lurker, first time poster. Big reader (duh) with a penchant for thrillers and suspense. Looking forward to getting to know a few of you.

Best
Mark, London

[Jennifer]

A co-worker suggested I check out Goodreads, and I joined up just days ago. I love the Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child Pendergast novels, and the Reacher series by Lee Child. And give me a Kellerman (Faye or Jonathan) and I'm a happy person. I am also a big fan of the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher. And Martha Grimes (the Richard Jury series). I always have a book at the ready for when I complete one - I've loved to read since a child and take time to read every day.

[Donna]

Hello everyone. I am Donna and I just joined your group. I am looking forward to reading your posts and getting to know you.

I'm a huge fan of the Kellermans and Lee Child as well. I'll have to check out the others you mention.

[Evelyn]

I look forward to learning more from members of this group.

[Rita]

Hello, I'm Rita and I've just joined the group. Thanks for the invite and I look forward to the recommendations and discussions.

[Cathy]

Hi, I'm Cathy from the UK. I've loved reading ever since I can remember, starting with Enid Blyton's Famous Five :). I'm enjoying audio books at the moment, with a good narrator a story really comes to life.

[Linda]

Hi and welcome to all of our newcomers. I've been gone a while so hi to all of my friends. I'm sure our new members will enjoy this group as much as I have.

Welcome to everyone who joined the group today or just finally got on the introduction board to say
"Hi!"

[Christine]

Beth wrote: "Hi, I'm new to the site but it's very addictive and it's gotten me back into my great love of reading!"

A little too addictive, in my opinion! I'm finding myself searching for books I read years ago and debating what I would say about them now.

[Wendy]

Hi, I'm also from the UK and, like Cathy, grew up with the Famous Five. Though I reckon my love of mystery stories stems from reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett!

These days I'm a great fan of Robert Goddard, particularly his early books. I'm always on the lookout for more of that type of story...

[[deleted user]]

Hello all new! You picked a great group!

[Kate]

Hi, my name is Kate. I am from Providence, RI about 45 minutes from Boston

[Heather]

Hi! I'm Heather, and I found this group through Jenni. I live near Philly and recently started a new job that gives me lots more time for reading (finally)! Looks like a wonderful group, and I'm excited to check out some of the book selections!

[Delee]

Hi my name is Delee Lafave, I live in Ontario Canada, and I am a newbie. I read almost anything... but I stay away from most YA romance, steampunk, and books that are 50 shades of grey-ish or twilight-ish. :)

LOL. I agree about 50 Shades. However, I do find myself reading more and more YA dystopias.

[[deleted user]]

Hi Delee! Nice to meet you! Welcome to a fun and active group.

[Delee]

Oh, I enjoy YA dystopia quite a bit.

Thank you! :)

[Patricia]

Hi,

My name is Patricia Dusenbury, I'm a grandmother and an economist who has loved reading mysteries ever since I cracked my first Nancy Drew back in the day. I've posted a couple times on other discussions and just noticed this introduction thread.

Happy Tuesday,
Patricia
