Well, she had that dystopian YA trilogy but it's not the same...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No, sorry meant crime/thriller :)

[Tien]

Nominating: Sharp Shooter (Tara Sharp #1) by Marianne Delacourt

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Ooh I'm glad you nominated that one Tien :) I was just looking at it for the crime group but it doesn't fit the criteria :)

[Bec]

I nominate The Student by Iain Ryan

[Andrea]

Serious question - what is ‘Mystery’, as compared to crime or thriller? Is mystery a broader category?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

The four genres of Crime, Mystery, Suspense and Thriller are fairly close but Crime and Mystery are probably the closest. So where I might have a book on my Crime shelf, I'd likely also have it on my Mystery shelf. Suspense and Thriller are similar too. And I know that probably doesn't really answer your question...

[Ace]

A mystery doesn't necessarily involve crime.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Ace :)
