Hi Angela, I too, am getting fed up of all this vampire, zombie fiction, it is is being overused to the extreme, time for something new.
Hello,Though, I've made sure the books I've written and my most recently read books are listed in Goodreads, I'm just starting to seek friends and join groups. It is nice to a find people who like mysteries and thrillers as much as I do. I hope to pick up some excellent new reading material. Keep those reviews coming.

I like the series by Megan Shepherd. They're inspired by classic novels.The Madman's Daughter inspired by The Island of Dr. Moreau
Her Dark Curiosity inspired by The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
and the upcoming A Cold Legacy inspired by Frankenstein
Hey everyone :) My name is Helena, 22, med student. New to the group. Not new to mystery novels. They are by far the genre I read the most (though I do try and read from a lot of different ones). Currently going through a Michael Connelly phase...trying to read all those books. before that read all the Ian Rankin books. Next I think I'll go for Dennis Lehane - probably try Shutter Island cos I have that at home.

Welcome, Helena. If you're a med student, your leisure reading time must be extremely limited. Sorry to see I wasn't on your reading list with my latest, God's Banker.
Best, Chris Malburg
Just wanted to say, "Hi!" I live in the Washington, DC area and love the energy of thrillers set anywhere in the world. Currently reading Daniel Silva's series about the Israeli art-restorer/spy. Also loving Laurie R. King's series featuring young Mary and a retired Sherlock. Yum! True confessions, yes, I also write. (As Kathryn Johnson but also as Mary Hart Perry.) Looking forward to getting new suggestions from this group for my pleasure reading.
Hi; I am a fan of comic crime fiction. I have also written one under a different name , as well as several other books in other genres. Nice to join this group. Any other comic crime writers here

Hello my name is Dominique,l'm 38 and I live in Montreal, Qc. I basically read almost anything but thrillers is my top genre
Hello,My name is Jamie Sheffield, and I'm the author of the Tyler Cunningham Adirondack Mysteries. It's a series set in the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York, featuring an unusual detective who keeps finding his way into the middle of crimes and situations that he has trouble understanding (he's a bit out of the ordinary, and it's been suggested by readers that he is somewhere along the Autistic Spectrum).
I've sold thousands of copies of my books in print and ebook and audio format, have broken into the Amazon top 1000 books overall, and climbed down into the top 100 lists of mysteries from time to time. I have hundreds of reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, with all of my books consistently averaging well above four stars.
My Amazon Page: http://www.amazon.com/Jamie-Sheffield...
I'd love to be a part of a bookclub event of some sort, and hope that we can work together to make it happen. If there's interest in something of this sort, I'd be happy to arrange for a price break for kindle versions of my books, and also to participate in online conversations/meetings.
Please get in touch if you have any questions, or would like to try and make something along these lines work for this group (or some other that you're affiliated with).
Thanks,
Jamie Sheffield

Hello! I'm Kelsey and I live in Ohio. I work a lot of office hours so I am "thrilled" when I have time to get into a good read. I enjoy reading for education and pleasure. I have within the past year come to realize how much I enjoy mysteries. I especially love ones set in colder climates, for some reason. I just need a good plot, likable characters, and a well described setting. Looking forward to some of the choices here!Kelsey
Hi, I'm new to the discussion group. I write murder mysteries with a paranormal edge.. and forensics or urban paranormal mystery. Looking forward to joining the discussions. By the way, I'm from Vegas, baby….transplanted from Soprano Land (NJ)
Hi, I'm also a newbie. I love good mysteries, detective stories, and historical fiction, but I will read anything! If the story line is good, that's all I ask for. Favorite reads, "The Heart is A Lonely Hunter" and Karen M. Moning's Fever Fae series. I'm currently reading "Gone Girl", and so far, it's very good. I live near Pittsburgh, PA, and since the weather is usually cold, I read a lot!
Hi everyone. I love to read a lot and have recently started reviewing. I am open to all kinds of books except those with explicit content, violence or horror in any form (I am honestly scared of too violent or horror stories)You can go through my reviews here devinair_reviews
I also write at times on random topics. Some time in future, I intend to write a book

Hello,My name is Tony Todd and I’m a crime writer based in Leeds, UK. My first novel “Broken” has just been published and is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle. So far it’s going well, but I could do with some positive reviews. If you do get around to reading it, please let me know what you think?
Hello everyone - my name is Halcyon and I live in a small cottage near the beach in rural South West Victoria, Australia which I share with my husband and naughty Jack Russell/Rascal dog.Have a broad range of reading interests but have a particular liking for crime and thriller books from Dexter to Nesbo, Camilleri to Nadel, Mankell to Leon. MacBride to Nesser, Rankin to Sjowall, Wingfield to Dibdin and all points of the compass inbetween.
So hello from me.
Hi,My name is Mark and I'm in Oxfordshire, UK. I enjoying reading thrillers, mystery and crime novels. I am a big Stephen King fan, have read most of his books and own the majority of films made from the books. When not reading I enjoy playing the guitar and listening to The Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Paul Weller and Bruce Springsteen.
I am in the process of writing a mystery thriller so will be popping back and forth to Goodreads for advice and inspiration.

Hi Tony, nice to see a fellow Brit and best of luck with your book. I have quite a way to go yet - still typing away, but hope to be on Amazon in the future too.
Mark.
My name is Carolyn. I live in Cambridge, MA and I love to read! Some of my favorite authors are: Walter Mosley, Barbara Neely, Sue Grafton and Sara Peretsky. After years of being a stone-cold mystery junkie, I have finally written a book of my own. Melody for Murder, the first in a series featuring Bertie Bigelow, an African American choir director and amateur sleuth, is coming out with Pen-L Publishing in 2015.
I am really looking forward chatting about books with you!
Hi everyone,I'm new to groups and looking forward to hearing what everyone is reading and recommending. I love Crime Thrillers and Mysteries.
Hi,I am Will. I am 29 and almost 30...! Wow!

Hi, I'm David, and I write science fiction with a mystery kick (you could say.) So glad to be here. Thanks for having me!
Hello! I'm Cody, I enjoy reading thrillers with some of my favorites being Lucas Davenport, Jack Reacher, and Mitch Rapp. I'm always looking for suggestions and great authors. If you check my shelves you'll see a chunk of what I've read, a lot of Stephen King and Dean Koontz plus others I've found along the way.Because of my schedule I only get to read about an hour a day before I go to sleep, sometimes more and sometimes less.
I wish I could remember all of the books I've read so I could put them on my "read" list!
Hi.. my name is Janice . I live in Missouri, in the Ozarks. I am a life long reader . I read almost every genre written. Generally read 4-6 books a week due to my love of reading but also because I have fibro myalgia . It has practically destroyed my mobility. I am excited to find more good books and authors to explore in this group. Thank you. Happy reading to all! .
I'm not a newbie, but I've been working for fifty years and, last January, I had to retire because, despite my students' belief that I had no heart, my heart is full and, regrettably, clogged. So now I am retired, reading so much more, and looking to participate as a group member and, if there's interest, as a friend.I was a criminal trial lawyer for 25 years, tried over 250 homicides and tons of guns and drugs, then taught middle and high school English for the past ten years. Now I care for about 100 rescue dogs, part time.
My name is Francis Howard and last year I published on e-books my first novel, HORDEN'S SMOKE. I am anxious to get some reviews, (good ones hopefully)I have also completed a further two novels, Tuscany Vase and the sequel, Parallel Tracks. Both have been received well by my friends and I am hoping to upload them on e-books later this year.
