Thanks Jenny!

[Tina]

Hey! I'm Tina from Alabama. I'm a married stay at home mom, of 2 boys. I am still kind of new to Goodreads and just now finding my way around to groups that I'm interested in. I had stopped reading for years but now that my boys are older I have delved back in with a passion! I love mystery, psychological thrillers, suspense and just about any type of fiction.

[Rajib]

Hi Everyone,

This is Rajib from Georgia. I work in IT but always had a soft corner for mysteries, thrillers and detective novels especially Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie style of writing. My first fiction thriller is now published in Amazon. Its a short read of about 113 pages. Just give it a chance and let me know your feedback!

Love mysteries with a historical facts. PVS

[Janet]

Hi there, I also love crime thrillers - although I read most things. I like to read and, as an author, I also do lots of research for my Culture Crime Series novels. I love good books to be recommended to me.
I am just starting James Patterson's Woman Of God.

[Rajib]

Hi everyone,

My book “Partho, The Unconventional Investigator: The Mystery of the Missing Bags” will be available for free at Amazon.com from February 24 to 25 only. Readers who prefer detective and crime novels will surely be thrilled reading every page of this digital Kindle edition until the conclusion. It is a unique whodunit suspenseful story that will keep the reader guessing until the very end.

"Some sinister secret lay buried in the heart of the graveyard !"

Please check out the trailer video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYEZk...

[Lagniappe]

Hello from the middle of Mardi Gras in New Orleans! I just joined Goodreads yesterday, am searching for my niche, and this seemed like a good spot to start. I like most genres but mystery/crime/thriller is my favorite. I look forward to finding new book friends and having a few interesting discussions. I do have a beginner's question for y'all. Do you try to backlog your reads and put them on your shelves or do most just jump in from day 1 with the new books they have read?

[Eve]

Hello, I'm Eve, or Ev for short. I've recently discovered I read too many books that I are just okay, so I want to start focusing on genres/styles I like. Pretty much all of them are mentioned in the description of this group.

Hi Lagniappe, I backlog alot. It helps me remember what authors/books I liked and helps with the search for similar ones here on GR.

Hi, Lagniappe. I backlogged only my really favorite books, mostly to give people an idea of who I am as a reader.

[Raymond]

I'm Ray. I live near Pittsburgh, PA. I'm a semi-retired lawyer and new part-time Uber/Lyft driver. I prefer mysteries and thrillers. Favorite sub genre is Noir. Favorite author is Ken Bruen. But I also like Adrian McKinty and many others.

I read a lot. Especially books set in foreign countries like the Dr. Siri books set in Laos. My last book was Human Acts by Han Kang which is set in South Korea and not a mystery.

Thanks Gary.. that seems like the reasonable way to go.

[Ninna]

Hi I'm Ninna and new to the group. I love reading all kinds of genres - literary fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, non-fiction, YA, chick lit but mostly read mysteries. I like all different sub-genres in mystery but am partial to cozy mysteries and I love my British police procedurals. I hope to find some fun books to read here and great discussions to go along with them! Happy Reading all!

[Gary]

Welcome, Ninna.

[Erica]

Hi everyone! My name is Erica, I live in South Carolina, I work in a bookstore, and I'm still fairly new to goodreads. I made an account years back when I got a kindle for my birthday, but never decided to keep up with it until recently. I've always been an avid reader with my dad taking me on weekly library runs as a kid so I could stock up on my weekly 6 book limit. My love for mystery came when my mom passed on her Nancy Drew books, from when she was a kid, to me. I love suspense, thrillers, and cozy mysteries the most, but I also dabble in historical fiction and nonfiction on occasion.

[E.Michael]

Greetings Erica! I live in the Upstate of South Carolina (Oconee County) near the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. I've been traditionally published in a few different genres since 1990. Stop by my Goodreads profile page or Amazon author page and take a look. So glad to make your acquaintance. Where in SC do you live? I have a couple of author friends who also live in the Palmetto State. Best of luck to you and yours, and happy reading! :-)

I definitely will, thank you! I'm always looking for something new to read! I live in Rock Hill, right on the border of North Carolina. Nice to unofficially meet you as well!

[E.Michael]

Hi again, Erica! Many years ago when I was a young kid I lived in Monroe, NC, which isn't far from Rock Hill. We moved to Panama City, FL (panhandle beach city) where I grew up and lived most of my life. Moved to SC 12 years ago. Love the mountains, but still miss those beaches.
Again, welcome to the group. You'll find many friendly people here, and a ton of good mysteries to read. Best of luck to you and yours,
--Michael

Hello again to you! That's crazy, I also moved to the Carolinas about 12 years ago from Florida. I grew up on the Southwest Coast! Thank you again for the warm welcome!

Hello new members! Welcome! :)

Welcome Erica

[Max]

Hi, I'm a mystery and crime fiction reader of many years. I've especially enjoyed Raymond Chandler, Len Deighton, Ross Macdonald, Alexandre Dumas. And George Orwell--could we stretch far enough and call him suspense fiction?

I just finished "Laura," by Vera Caspary.

I wrote a novel myself. It won the Kindle Scout competition. It's called "The Gods Who Walk Among Us," about a failed lawyer turned paparazzi who gets in over his head.

I look forward to participating in this group.

[E.Michael]

Hi Max, and congratulations on the book! Ross Macdonald is my favorite mystery writer; really enjoy his Lew Archer books. Chandler is up there, too, in my opinion.
I write a mystery series set along the coastal Florida panhandle. My P.I. is a retired U.S. Marine. Southern gentleman (so he believes), good sense of humor, but he can get down and dirty if the situation calls for it.
Welcome to the group. Lots of fine people here with helpful suggestions.
--Michael

[Max]

Thank you Michael. I recently re-read Macdonald's The Chill.

[Megan]

Hi, all! I'm Megan and I live in Virginia. I'm still figuring out Goodreads, but really enjoying discovering new books to read. Let's just say I've been taking full advantage of my Amazon Prime 2 day shipping! I'm a big fan of mysteries and thrillers, so I'm excited to have found this group and looking forward to discussing some great works. Happy reading!

[Patricia]

Hi all,
I've been a stalker for a while, but am ready to jump in. I read and write mystery/suspense. Glad to be a part of the group and looking forward to discussions.
In the Shadow of Revenge

[Rachel]

Hi, everyone! I'm Rachel and this is my serial killer thriller that I will be publishing later this month. I'm very excited to join this community! If you're interested in an ARC please PM or email at rachel@rachelhargrove.com. Happy to be here!

[Hank]

Hey all, I'm Hank and I enjoy reading and writing crime. On the reading side, my two favorite authors are James Lee Burke and Megan Abbott. I also love a lot of writers who straddle the genre fence like Tom Franklin, William Gay, and Larry Brown.

As for the writing, I've got a book coming out from Crooked Lane Books in November called Heaven's Crooked Finger. It's set in the north Georgia mountains and the mystery centers around a rural church and the cult-like grip its snake handling preacher has on his congregation and the surrounding community.

Looking forward to poking around.

[Kathleen]

Hello all, I'm Kathleen and love reading crime fiction which I order on the Kindle from my place in Cairo, Egypt. My book which came out last month is of the memoir genre but my favorite go-to genre is crime fiction. Favorite authors are Henning Markell, Colin Cotterill, Tana French, Robert Wilson, Matt Rees. All are set in places in the world I've been except for Mankell's Sweden. Looking forward to hearing about new author's I've yet to discover.

[Jenny]

Welcome, Megan, Kathleen, Hank, Rachel and Patricia to the group.

[Nadine]

Hi! Welcome!

[Ashley]

I'm newish to the thriller genre, mostly read YA or super adult romance. I normally read thriller romance when I take the thriller route - but I recently read Rachel's book One Way Ticket and now I feel I need to branch out more because I was seriously obsessed with it, guess my thrillers dont need romance. Can't wait to find more books.

[Kirsten]

Welcome, Ashley! I love romantic suspense as well... have you read the In Death series?

[Ashley]

That's the Nora Roberts penn name books? I had planned to I had received one at a library sale for 10 cents but it was book 5 or so and I hate starting a series that far in

[Tony]

Welcome, Tony. Ireland is like a second home to me. My son and his family lived there for eight years. Enjoy the community.

[Kirsten]

Of course, it's okay!!!!

Just don't tell us whodunit!

[Kirsten]

Great! What are your favorite kinds of mystery?

I like the British country house types... I also like ones set in foreign countries, like Donna Leon, James Church, Cara Black, etc.

[Brian]

Hi, I am Brian. I enjoy mysteries, crime, westerns, spy thrillers and once in a while sci-fi. I begun reading mysteries forty-eight years ago, mostly Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle.

Thanks Skye.

[R.J.]

Hi. I am both a crazy mystery reader and a mystery writer. I split my time between Vancouver Island, B.C. and Jalisco, Mexico and in both places my book shelves are crammed with Robert Parker, John Sandford, Lee Child, David Baldacci, Harlan Coban, Michael Connelly - although there's also a few Science Fiction/Fantasy novels lurking in the rows as well as a few literary novels. When I'm not reading, I am writing. I am the author of the Dan Connor mystery series which is set off the coast of British Columbia, an area I have sailed for over 30 years and I am delighted to be able to say that the latest - Green River Falling - has been nominated for an Arthur Ellis award.

[Kirsten]

Wow... so jealous!! Canada & Mexico? Stay away from Trumpistan!

Congrats on the Arthur Ellis nod!
