Nominations open for August 2017 group read

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

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

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

So - nominate a crime/mystery/thriller/suspense book which was published in 2009 for our August read. True crime or cosy mysteries are included in this :)

NOTE: The beginning or early in a series (if a series) please :)

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

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

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

My nomination is The Blackhouse by Peter May (originally published 2009)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

That's #20 in the series Ellie... a shame as the rest of the criteria is great. Can you pick an earlier one in a series please?

[Phrynne, Mystery lover!]

Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Love that series Phrynne!

[PattyMacDotComma]

My library has Black Water Rising by Attica Locke. A debut and #1 in a series and up for a few awards (though has mixed reviews).

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Perfect Patty!

I picked this one up at a $1 book sale and can't wait to start it! But I will wait until August now - just in case:)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Oh lucky you!! I get mine from the library :)

So, so good - one of my favourite authors now and I have visited the island setting because he created the sense of place so well!

[Carolyn]

Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo, 4 star GR rating, first in series.

[David]

Jo Nesbo, The Redeemer (Published in English in 2009). I wanted to nominate a Vera Stanhope or an Alan Banks, but neither series had a publication in 2009.

Phrynne has already nominated this one Carolyn (above) Can you choose another please :)

The Redeemer is 6th in the series David - maybe a little too far in for those who haven't read the earlier books. Can they be read as standalone do you think?

My suggestion


Truth by Peter Temple

Sorry Brenda! Didn't realise it was the same book! Duh!
It's the only one in my tbr I want to read that isn't late in a series but I'll shop around for another.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Haha! Okay Carolyn - happy searching :)

[Carolyn]

Here's one that's first in a series I want to read, The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths

[Sharon]

The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Two good ones there girls - thanks!

[Chloe]

I just sorted my TBR list by publication date ... chose a good book under 2009, clicked on it and it said pub in 2010! :( weird!

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

What book was it Chloe? Often they'll say that but have (originally published 2009) in brackets...

[Hannah]

Bloodprint by Kitty Sewell

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Another good one, thanks Han!

[Chloe]

Brenda - it was The Lock Artist

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Yes that one says "originally published 2009" so it works!

[Kerri_M]
