Nominations open for January 2017 group read

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Now that our read for December 2016 has been decided, it's time for everyone to nominate a book for our January 2017 read.

We are doing something a little different for 2017 monthly reads. Starting with January's read we will work our way backward in publication years :)

So - nominate a crime/mystery/thriller/suspense book which was published in 2016. True crime or cosy mysteries are included in this :)

This thread will be open until 10th December, then our nominations will go to the vote:) Good luck and have fun!

Authors and publishers, please don't nominate your own work!

[Phrynne, Mystery lover!]

Night School by Lee Child

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Cross the Line by James Patterson

[Kerri_M]

I would like to nominate The Second Girl

David Swinson

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Thanks Kerri! You just reminded me I need to send invitations for this :)

[Kerri_M]

I thought I had just lost the invite, so hunted around for the topic :)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

LOL!

I'm keen to read Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty, which was published earlier this year.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Mary that one is marked as Women's Fiction/Chick Lit and Contemporary, so I don't think it fits here. I haven't read it so don't know if there's any mystery/crime involved but no one has shelved it as such...

Sorry Brenda, I don't know why but I assumed it was a murder mystery. Definitely not one for the Aussie Lovers of Crime challenge then!

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

No I don't think so Mary :) Much as we'd like to read it!

I reckon it's the word "guilty", Mary. I haven't read Truly Madly Guilty either, but the blurb and some reviews certainly talk about a mystery of how or why something happened.

Some people have shelved it as a mystery, but it doesn't sound as if there's any crime involved, so we'll have to fit it into some other challenge - darn!

I'd like to nominate The Falls by Aussie author B. Michael Radburn.

I just finished The Crossing by this author and it was really good. Although The Falls is the second book featuring park ranger Taylor Bridges, I don't think you'd need to read the first book as it's a completely new story in a new location.

Angels Burning by Tawni O'Dell

I've just finished [book:The Crossing|10791714] too Carolyn! Absolutely loved it! And I read The Falls first and agree with you :)

I like the sound of these, just downloaded The Crossing, and will read before January, so that I can be ready for The Falls if that gets picked (reading books out of order makes me anxious! lol)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Oh you will love The Crossing Kerri :)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Are you going to nominate one Carol?

[Nikki]

Cross The Line : James Patterson

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Good one Nikki! Cross the Line is his latest and I'm keen to read it :)

[Tara]

I nominate The Blue Pool by Siobhan McDonald

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

The Blue Pool: The suspense-filled psychological thriller you won't want to miss sounds really good Tara :) Haven't heard of this author...

[Tara]

Please ignore my last suggestion, the book is quite hard to find.
I nominate Local Girl Missing by Claire Douglas

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Thanks for doing that Tara :) Makes it easier for us all. But Local Girl Missing sounds good also. I love the cover as well!

Hi everyone. How about A Brilliant Death

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Sounds like another good one MsG :)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Sorry Carol, that one was published in 2015 - criteria is published in 2016 for this one :)

[Carol - Reading Writing and Riesling]

I'll need to think again

[Susan]

I nominate The Kept Woman by Karin Slaughter

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

The Kept Woman is another I have to read! Thanks Susan :)
