Not heard of Sharon Bolton.
I've just finished "Eeny meeny" by M.J. Aldridge, good thinking book and some disturbing and creepy descriptions . Well worth it.
Mod
Sharon Bolton (was SJ Bolton) was our first Q & A authors and one of the top authors in the UK, like Karin Slaughter, but Sharon's are quite often quite dark, strong, gritty and disturbing, lots of members are reading her books, start with Now You See Me.
Creep is brilliant by Jennifer Hellier
Sounds like I would enjoy SJ Bolton books...

My name is Ian D Moore, I live in Selby, North Yorkshire, England. A 43yr old trucker by profession for Eddie Stobart Limited. Just completed my first novel, Salby Damned which still has some minor teething problems edit wise but, is almost complete now. I have a new-found respect for authors and it has been a struggle but enlightening to write a first book. I am certainly not put off by writing another although my long term partner may have other ideas! We have four children between us, I have two sons and my partner a son and daughter who keep us on our toes most of the time. I also run an internet based mattress business making and supplying to customer requirements so life is pretty hectic. I joined Goodreads on recommendation from another author J.A.Belfield who, I should say, has been an invaluable help to me in the tips and information she has shared on my quest to get my book right. It's great to see so many people from all over the world and hear of their stories and lives.
Mod
congratulations on your first book.
Welcome to all of our new members. Enjoy!!
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I am looking forward to getting stuck into some good books, and have already gotten some great suggestions. Does anyone else want to join me in my 80 books in a year challenge? Add me as a friend if you do.

Welcome Markus, Michael, Casey and Ian. This is a great group of people. I haven't read any of the authors you listed Markus; will definitely check them out.
Hi my name is Tara and I live in East Anglia in the UK.I've always been an avid reader so much so that when my Mum used to send me to my room if I'd been naughty, she would find me a couple of hours later with my head in a book - so much for her form of punishment!!!
I read loads of crime thrillers, mysteries etc - but I'll give most genres a go.
Looking forward to getting some top tips on what to read and also hoping to be ablet to give some tips on books I have read.
Tara
Welcome to all our new members. Enjoy!!
Welcome Tara! I'm from East Anglia too! :-)
Mod
Now we don't sent to our room, we go to our room to read!

Welcome to the group. Have you tried any od K.R. Nadreau's books? Thought Walker and Thought walker 2 are good psychological thrillers :)

When I first started writing it took me forever to think of the genre I would write and a story base. Unsure, I turned my personal drama into a work of fiction. That was a rewarding experience and now I'm 5 into the series so this writing one book thing...It won't stop there lol. I hope you enjoy the group.
Welcome to everyone that has joined the group between last month and this one. I don't get to the thread as often as I'd like. I hope everyone is enjoying themselves here. I have some edits to work on. Talk to you soon. I have a thriller recommendation for you all: Sycamore Row by John GrishamHave a great night :)
Hello, my name is Emmy. I live in England, I've just graduated at university with a high 2:1 degree in health care. I have a passion for reading, and a desire to write my own novels. I have been working on a novel for years and can't seem to finish it as of yet. I'm here to broaden my horizons of the book world in the hope to derive some inspiration for my own writing.

Hi Emmy, welcome to this wonderful group. Congratulations on your degree!! Any idea what you might want to do with your health care degree? I retired one year ago from my career as a physician. I loved my job, and am excited to see people choosing the health care field!

Well I've just recently had a baby, so I'm taking a year out of studying, however I'm planning on returning to education next year to do my masters in Social Work or something in Public Health. I enjoy being a part of the health care field.

I just joined the group and I am pleased to be a member. I live in the Los Angeles area with my wife. I have two adult children. I was in Workers' Compensation law for 9 years and taught math for, four years. I decided to take my passion for legal thrillers/mysteries, my legal experience and enjoyment for writing and write the next great American novel. When I am not writing, I can usually be found running and cycling the streets of L.A, doing crossword puzzles, spending time with my family, catching a good movie and of course reading.
