Welcome Kevin!! I hope you listed your book in our author section under Promote Your Book Here!!

[Amber]

welcome everyone! ^_^

[R.J.]

Hi, everyone!

I'm Jack Patterson ... I write thrillers, but I love to read, too. Lee Child is one of my favorites, but it's a close call between him and Andrew Klavan. I also like the old espionage thrillers by John Lecarre, as well as anything by Michael Crichton. And I'll read anything where conspiracies abound!

Welcome Jack and Laura!

[Sean, Moderator]

Hello Jack

We have many Lee Childs fans here, including me, never heard of Andrew Klavan... Welcome to the group.

Laura

Welcome, lots of thriller recommendations here for great authors...

Two of my favourites for you both

Simon Kernick and David Baldacci

[Laura]

Thanks! I'll have a look! Since it's a first for me ( and even if it was not) all advises are welcome.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Welcome all.

[R.J.]

Thanks, Sean! I look forward to connecting and discovering new thrillers!

[R.J.]

Thank you everyone! Looks like this is a fun group!

[Autumn]

Welcome to Jack and Laura! I am so glad you all are here!

[R.J.]

Thanks, Autumn. So, what's your favorite thriller?

[Janet , Moderator]

Is there such a thing as a favourite book?! I would struggle to name a top ten. Been asked to a few times. I know there's an all time favourite thread, but I wonder how many of you could name a top ten?!! Maybe you haven't read your all time favourite . . . yet!!

[R.J.]

True, Janet. Very true!

[Zack]

Not a chance, Janet! I love so many books for so many reasons!

[Janet , Moderator]

:-D Exactly, Zack!

Cheers, Jack!

Jack, some of my favorites include The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen, A Drink Before the war by Dennis Lehane, Now You See Me by SJ Bolton, Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter, Immoral by Brian Freeman and Iron Lake by Wm Kent Krueger, The Warrior by Ty Patterson. All of these also happen to be the first book in the series. You will get TONS of recommendations from this group, Jack. Big welcome!

MN Chris,

Have you read any of Lehane's other work?

[Christine]

Not yet, but his stuff is on my short list. I loved loved loved A Drink Before the War. I plan to finish that series and Shutter Island and Mystic River.
Have you read much Lehane, Cynthia?
Chris

[Garrett]

I have. Oddly, I have not read his detective series. I have read everything else he has written. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be The Given Day, a novel with a historical base (Boston police strike and global flu epidemic) providing the backdrop for a fictional dysfunctional but powerful family, and Shutter Island for a thriller.

Thank you for the mention,Christine. I have read a couple of Lehane..but I generally find them to be dark. There was one I remember where the central protagonist is a gangster whose daughter is killed.. Just didn't like that and stopped reading him after that.

I don't know that book, Cynthia. I will look it up. Thanks.

I like the dark stuff in fiction novels, Ty. If these books were nonfiction, then I probably would shy away as I do not like reading about real people getting hurt. As long as innocent victims live only in the mind of the author, I am not that bothered. Maybe I'm a little deranged....(-:

[R.J.]

Thanks for your list, Christine. I haven't read some of those!

[David]

Hi, I've just joined this group because... well basically, I've recently published a thriller. My favourite genres are fantasy and thrillers. And though I've written and published several fantasy novels, I never thought I'd do a thriller. But the story entered my head and had to be told.

[Janet , Moderator]

Welcome, David! Good luck with your foray into thrillerdom!!

[Malina]

Welcome David :)

[David]

Thanks Janet. It was a thrill to write, and unlike fantasy when I say I've written a thriller I don't get a roll of eyes :~)

[David]

Thanks Malina. You must have posted while I was typing my reply to Janet.

[David]

I note we have 100% compatibility in books we have rated, Janet. We only have one book in common, but hey, I'm not going to split hairs ;~)

Welcome David.

[David]

Thanks Lorrea, this look to be a nice group to be a part of. Looking forward to spending time here.

Oh these posts get jumbled up, you look away for a second and ten pop up!

[David]

Yep, that's me. I always end looking like I've answered to something totally obscure, and looking like a fool :~/

[Lavada]

Welcome David

[Sean, Moderator]

Thanks David for posting and welcome

[David]

Thank you, all, for such a warm welcome. Such a friendly group.

[Rebecca]

Hi All! I'm Rebecca from Colorado, USA. I'm a writer and enjoy traveling, especially to Europe where my daughters and grandchildren live. Thanks, Sean, for inviting me to this interesting group, and sorry to be late introducing myself. I enjoy reading widely, especially mysteries, and sometimes thrillers. I'm especially fond of Preston & Child. My last few stand-out reads were:
Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn (which I approached reluctantly because her first book was a bit too dark for me)
The Various Haunts of Men, by Susan Hill
Shatter, by Michael Robotham

I write under different names to reflect my different subjects. As Sue Star, I write amateur sleuth mysteries, and as Rebecca Williamson, I write romantic suspense. I also write science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, and women's fiction. No thrillers yet, but who knows? I'm very happy to be here and look forward to sharing some great reads!

[Aymen]

welcome David and Rebecca :)

[David]

Thanks Aymen. Hi Rebecca.
