Sue Coletta (suecoletta) | 3 comments Hi All!

I am a crime fiction writer. I also enjoy reading anything under that umbrella genre i.e. thriller, mystery, suspense. This is a very friendly group. I've already met some amazing people and hope to meet more.

Thanks for having me.

Hey Sean, would you say Daniel Silva is comparable to Lee Child? David Baldacci?


message 3267: by Sean, Moderator (new)

Sean Peters | 10517 comments Mod
Well I think Gabriel Allon (by Daniel Silva)is not the big tough action packed hero of the Lee Childs and David Baldacci books.

He is more well higher class assassin, more political thrillers, with crime and action, both LC and DB are more gripping action thrillers.

Ty(an author member here) will also mention to you the thoughtful, quite tough guy Joe Pike, or the comical light character Elvis Cole, and in better detail than me.

Also highly recommend Geordia Sharp the action army hero in the Chris Ryan books, and Mitch Rapp in the late Vince Flynn books

Thanks Sean for the info and yes, Ty has also recommended Robert Crais, which I plan on reading next. I am looking forward to getting to "know' all these new authors! If only work, sleep, life etc. didn't get in the way of my reading! Ha!
Have a great day!

Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 652 comments You probably have a gift....there are all kinds of talents.

You should write a book.


message 3277: by Ty (new)

Ty Patterson | 401 comments Carmen, nope Silva and Child/Baldacci are different writing styles and pace of 'thrilling' are totally different.

I am sure I've read a few Silva books, but I honestly cannot remember which ones.

I am currently on a Greg Rucka Jad Bell series recommendation binge. Worth reading them.

Greg Rucka's Bravo is not first person but present tense and supernova awesome.

message 3284: by Kali (new)

Kali (kalilux) | 2 comments Hi, I'm Kali, I live in the Bay Area and I'm working towards my English degree through ASU online. I love to read and I blog book reviews at Kalireads.com (posted this on the book blog site as well). I have two cats, and tend to read way too many books at once.

I definitely have a passion for mysteries/thrillers above all else, started with Nancy Drew when I was little and hasn't abated yet. I'm not sure if I"ll actually have time to be very present here, but I thought I'd give it a go.

Skye | 636 comments Hi Kali: I adore mysteries and thrillers, and like you, began with Nancy Drew.

message 3288: by Ava (new)

Ava Marsh | 25 comments Hi, I'm Ava. I live in London and write novels - my psychological thriller Untouchable is coming out next March in the UK and US. Love reading thrillers - currently stuck into Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey.

Nice to meet you all!


message 3289: by A.D. (new)

A.D. Garrett (ADGarrett) | 9 comments Hi, everyone. I'm here as the write (sic) arm of A.D. Garrett, a forensic thriller writing collaboration. I'm based in the north west of England. I enjoy all kinds of thrillers, having been brought up on Alistair MacLean and Desmond Bagley, but I also love slow-burn, atmospheric novels with a feeling of ever-present dread, which build to breathless denouements. In terms of modern fiction, I'd place Mo Hayder and James Patterson in the first category, and masters of suspense like Tom Rob Smith and Gillian Flynn in the second. But there are all kinds of shades in between, which is what makes thrillers so appealing to me!

Recent reads I've enjoyed in the thriller category would be: No Country for Old Men, by Cormac McCarthy, Cold In July, by Joe R Lansdale, , Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child, and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
