Thank you so much for the recommendation, Christine. I plan on reading all his books. The Innocent got me addicted. Wishing you all the best! :)

Don't forget the SJ Bolton Q&A here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Not too many questions listed yet for the author.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Thanks Nancy. I'd read he left a partial manuscript and notes for a couple of other books. I'd also read that rights were unclear and it would be a while if anything came of any of them. Sad.

Hi David,

Welcome to A Good Thriller. You're almost a neighbour, I live in Shelf just outside Halifax. I'm a Goodreads author currently researching my second novel. I'm new with this group myself but it seems friendly, lively and the members are very well informed.

Thanks Chris, it is very helpful. I loved the movie Force 10 From Navarone. Maybe I'll read that one first. :)

[Christine]

Antonello, you are welcome. I checked out your blog and I see you are posting your novel Killer Rumors for free in March. I am in love with the library, but will download your book (my first ever downloaded book--can anyone else here say that?)--it looks good!

[Ter'e]

Hi to all, near and far,
I'm Ter'e...........a native Californian, living in central Florida. Like an idiot, I am wanting to move back to KC, MO, where my kids are living. Gonna exchange sand for snow!!!!!

I love mysteries, great thrillers, and anything by WEB Griffin. I love Karin Slaughter, Lee Child, Linda castillo (don't discount her books), Chris Mooney, and so many others. I have just read my first Baldacci book- loved it!

I love to tell people I am a "hooker". I hook primitive wool rugs!!!! I also love to cook and clean my house!!!!! Yes, I am a bit old fashioned, I suppose. Have a deep appreciation for "home".

Enjoying this group. Thanks Sean!!!!!

[Tim The Enchanter]

Ter'e, I'm in my second Linda Castillo book. While the books are well written, there certainly is a lot if adult language and it's starting to grate on my nerves.

[Sean, Moderator]

Hi Katie,

we have 3-4 books we are all reading through February and March, a list is on February Nominations post.

Doing this a little different here, as a few were nominated. In April we are going to let our authors on this site/group nominate a book of their own and again we will choose 3-4 if we can.

[Ter'e]

Tim,
I just gloss over them. That fact does not stop me from enjoying the books. I read with blinders on, I think.

[Janet , Moderator]

I've read Linda Castillo's first three Burkholder books, if memory serves correctly. I like them, they are quite graphic, but that's fine. Like the Amish angle, something a bit different. Got more of hers to read.

[Ter'e]

Janet,
I really enjoyed the Burkholder series.......there are more books coming. Keep reading. Linda is on Goodreads and is very approachable. Such a delightful gal.

I read Jilliane Hoffman too.........so if you can get thru those graphic books, you can get thru anything.

I am ready Chris Moody's books right now and cannot put them down. Am 1/2 way thru Deviant Ways WOW. It sure keeps one on their toes!!!!!

I have been listening to the audio books so kind of hard to gloss over the language :)

[Ter'e]

Tim,

:-( Yes, that does make a difference.

I really liked the first one, but the second seemed to reexplain her past, allegiance to her heritage,reason for leaving, -to me that's the problem with serial books. Retelling what those who have read the first book already know. As far as violence, I have a pretty strong stomach (love Lee Child). I draw the line at animals and kids (view spoiler)[ a baby shot through the mother and horribly tortured pregnant young teen (hide spoiler)] too much for me

I don't mind the violence so long as it doesn't drift into "horror gore" territory. The second Burkholder book is a bit too emotional for my tastes. She is reliving her emotion when she was excommunicated. I really enjoy the series but am still put off by the swearing. In my opinion, the excessive use of adult language is a lazy method of expressing emotion. This simply allows the reader to infer emotion through swearing. Here I am complaining about swearing while I am quite fine with the death and torture....

[Christine]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

[Lace]

Good morning to you.

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Good morning Christine and Lace!! Hope you ladies have a great day!!

[Janet , Moderator]

Hi Christine, and everyone else! Very blustery here today. Makes you want to wrap up and read!!

[Luca]

Hi Gang,
I'm Luca, a native Italian who's been living in London for over twenty years. I've always loved thrillers, particularly the Ludlum, Grisham/Baldacci and Child type. Recently I've gotten hooked on Daniel Silva, but I also try and read some of my old loves - Fantasy and Science Fiction.
My debut conspiracy/action thriller Zero Alternative will be published April 25th, wish me luck and keep reading the good stuff!

[Malina]

Welcome Luca, and good luck with your upcoming publication!!

[Luca]

Thx! Anybody here have any advice on what I could try in the political/current events thriller area after I'm done with the Gabriel Allon stuff?

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi Luca, welcome.

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]
