Welcome Andie, you've come to the right place to find fellow thriller lovers! You've listed some good ones! How about Karin Slaughter who when she's good is very good. Or Chelsea Cain for some thrilling creeps? I'm originally from the Midwest as well, but happy to have relocated to the PNW :)

Hello Group - my name is Russell and I live in Jersey in the Channel Islands, part of the UK but just off the coast of France. I have been an avid reader for pretty much all my life and, having recently retired, hope to continue in this literary vein. My favorite genres are science fiction, crime and history. My other interests include sport, music and walking. I look forward to sharing views etc with you all.

Joined at last...
Members, Russell I know, so do welcome him.
Russell, loads of great topics here, music and films as well as great books.
My favourite action thrillers, lots of great author recommendations.
Some great long standing members here, with over 8,000 members.
Welcome Russell. Nice to have another Brit, well, nearly a Brit, onboard. And an island mate for Sean too.
Hello Russel and Happy New Year everyone.
Hi everyone,I moved to West Michigan in 2018 when my husband and I gave up the "9-to-5" and purchased a campground. I had previously been an English and Social Studies teacher and most recently a high school counselor. I've been able to return to my favorite hobbies - one of which is reading.
I have two teen-aged children, and find myself reading what they're reading, but my favorite genre is mystery/thrillers. I will read anything except westerns or romances! ;)

Hi, I'm Lee from Manchester, England. 56 years young and still doing the 9 -5. Avid fan of crime thrillers, favourite author is Mark Billingham. In between working and reading, I enjoy walking my not so young Boxer dog. I support Manchester United and enjoy playing Scrabble with my wife. Looking forward to reading your posts and looking for recommendations

Enjoy the group
Hi!Thanks Sean for the invitation. My name is Lina and I live in New York. I love reading and I have a library in my home which is so overflowing to the point I now have shelves and stacks and even boxes of books in almost every room in my house, even the bathrooms lol. I have started a collection of popup books, I find them simply magical since I was a child.
I also have over 800 ebooks, which I am always willing to share. All the books on my have read, and want to read list I already personally own so check them out and if anyone wants an ebook from my lists I will be happy to email them to you.
I, also like Sean, love playing tennis. Im not really good but I dont care because its fun as hell and totally addicting. I play every chance I get.
I also like making jewelry. I dont sell it, I mostly make it as gifts for friends or for myself.
I love animals and I have a Bernese Mountain Dog, three cats and a snake.
Want to know my favorite book? Impossible to answer that! There are very few books that I didnt like, but honestly the few I couldnt finish was most likely romance. My favorite genres are mystery, thriller, epic sci fi fantasy, crime, space, and certain types of erotica.
Im happy to have been invited and I look forward to meeting other members and Im always on the prowl for new books recommended by others.
Mod
Thanks for joining, thanks for introducing yourself.
Yes I play 2-3 times a week, tennis.
My wife makes lots of stuff, and does sell it....
Lots of great recommendations here, and authors, just look through the topics
Hi, I'm "thrilled" to have found this group, love the discussion topics. I enjoy thrillers of all kind and have discovered new authors from people's recommendations. All are welcome to add me!
Mod
Have fun
Hello, I am from North Dakota. I love reading Thriller books. I took quite a long break from reading, but found my love of it again in the last couple years. I like trying new authors and I’m not really a big fan of series. My husband reads a lot of the same type of books as me so I sometimes read some of his books but I love to hear others reviews before I choose my next book. Looking forward to exploring this group farther!!
Mod
Great author recommendations, lots of great reviews
Enjoy
Hello, My name is Milene, I am Portuguese and I’ve lived in Maidstone (England) for nearly 8 years. I love reading. The constant need to keep learning for work takes a lot of my reading time but I try to find time for my pleasure reading too. I am good at research and have imagination but I’m not a very good writer so, unfortunately, that is a path that I won’t undertake. I have two beautiful cats and my idea of a relaxing Sunday is sitting in the sofa with the cats and a cup of tea reading a book.
Hey, I'm Jess! I'm from Wisconsin. The last couple years I've really been getting into murder/thrillers/serial killer/etc. I'm a dental hygienist and I talk to patients about books and that just adds to my growing "to be read list"
Currently I'm reading The Woman In The Window
My s-i-l and I started and Instagram account a few months ago (@booksandcurds) to give us something that we can just for ourselves and it's definitely rekindled our love for reading!

Hi everybody, I am Klaas, 46, living in Amsterdam in The Netherlands. I read all genres but I do love a good thriller and I regularly pick one up. I love many different kinds of thrillers but my favorite authors would definitely include Arnaldur Indridason (Iceland) and Deon Meyer (South Africa) and recently I enjoyed the thrillers of Riley Sager. I am always up for some good new Thriller recommendations.
Mod
Lots of great recommendations here.
I have a list of action thrillers, check the posts

Hi Sean,
Happy to be here. I live in a stone cottage in the middle of Brittany, France. Beautiful here, but the winters are looooong, wet, and cold.
Can't wait for spring.
Kerry.

I write thrillers (no, this isn't a 'buy my book' pitch). One of my planned Ryan Kaine stories will be set in The Netherlands (Haarlem). I'd be interested in picking your brains for local background information and colour, if you can spare the time. No rush, though.
Happy to give you a mention in the acknowledgements if I ever finish the project.
Regards,
Kerry.

Hi Kerry, no problem, I actually went to school in Haarlem (way back when) so I know it a little bit, quite a nice old town. I will send you a friend request, then you can send me direct messages with any questions you might have about Haarlem or The Netherlands.
Greetings,
Klaas
Excellent. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi. My name is Aisha and I’m from Nigeria though I currently live in London. I’ve loved reading ever since I was 2 and could barely understand words. I enjoy mysteries that keep me up at night and looking over my shoulder days after I’ve read them and I’m looking forward to finding more of them through this group.
Mod
Enjoy the group, join in, lots of recommendations here
Welcome Ayesha,Hope you have a wonderful time at Goodreads. Sincerely, Lisa
Hello, my name is Jennifer. I live in NJ. I read a lot of genres, but I particularly like thrillers, suspense, and true crime. I'm new to the groups in goodreads so I'm just learning how to navigate them. If we want to participate in the 1,500,000 page challenge in 2020, do we comment with the books we read in 2020 or does it just have to be thrillers? Also, I like to listen to about two audiobooks a month.
Mod
Any book you have read it is just your total of books.
Please do join in
Welcome all! This is one of the funnest and friendliest groups on Goodreads! Dip your toe in, the water's fine.

I'm Andie and I'm a bookaholic. My favorite genre is mystery/thriller, but I had no idea this group existed. My favorite authors are Robert Crais, Lee Child, Sara Paretsky, Harlan Coben, John Sandford, Tess Gerritsen, Kate Atkinson, David Baldacci, Dennis Lehane, Lisa Scottoline, Janet Evanovich, but as I'm current on all these, I have to keep adding more! Please make a pitch for your favorites.
I also love films, music and live theatre. Being retired helps, but there are still too many books, too little time. And I'm not that good at sitting still unless I'm in the theatre or holding a book.
I'm from a suburb of Chicago and really love the Midwest, but like to travel as often as I can.
