Introductions

[Jenny]

Welcome, Stacie to the group. I hope you have many pleasant moments discussing books with members of this group.

[Rob]

Hello everybody! I'm Rob from MA. I love reading mysteries (that's why I'm here). My favorite authors are Harlan Coben, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, J.A. Jance, and Stuart Woods.

I'm also working on writing fiction, so I read some books on the craft. By day, I'm an English teacher and an avid cook.

[J.B.]

Welcome Rob to Goodreads. Best of good fortune in your writing efforts. Take care and have a wonderful safe day.

Boy Rob. You've got a lot going on. Maybe you should write a cookbook too.

Oh, there are so many choices... but I would say that pad thai and cauliflower mac and cheese are my current favorites.

Welcome to all the new members!

[Irene]

Good morning everyone, I'm Irene and I come from Venice (Italy). I am a huge, great, immense fan of crime stories and I'm here because of there's no crime book group in my city. I'm very happy to be here with you. XDXD

[Jenny]

Welcome, to the group, Irene.

[J.B.]

Welcome Irene
Best of good fortune to you and your family.

[Judy]

Good Morning Everyone! My name is Judy and I'm from San Francisco, CA. My city has been under the shelter in place order and in the last 1 1/2 months, I've read 10 books. It's a huge feat considering I used to only get to read 1 book a quarter. I love reading mysteries and thrillers. I'm so happy to discover this book club.

[Jenny]

Welcome, Judy to the group. I hope you have a wonderful time discussing books with other members.

[Dan]

Good evening, everyone. I'm Dan and I'm from Upstate NY near the Finger Lakes. When I'm not reading, biking, and enjoying the lakes, I'm eating far too much ice cream.

I'm into dark psychological thrillers, everything from the classic Thomas Harris novels to Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh, and T.R. Ragan. Look forward to meeting other readers and sharing reading ideas.

[Jeremy]

Hi all,

I hope everyone is faring well in these strange and crazy times.

I am from Nottinghamshire in the UK where I live with my amazing family. Amongst many hobbies, I'm a writer and big reader. Favourite authors include Mo Hayder, Sandrone Dazieri, Thomas Harris and Steig Larsson. Less recently I have always enjoyed Oscar Wilde and Harper Lee, and less fictionally, Christopher Hitchens & David Attenborough.

Relatively new to Goodreads as both as author and reader so I am excited to post more reviews and meet other likeminded psychological thriller/thriller/cosy thriller/suspense lovers.

All the best!

Hey Paul,

Fellow Uk'er! I thought I'd ping you a message being from your neck of the woods, and not just the UK! My family and I commonly walk in the Peak District, it's incredible out there! Always well worth a pint in Baslow afterwards too! :-)

Yes, it's superb, particularly season one!

[Anees]

Hi this is Anees Arshad from Hyderabad,India. I have joined this group today(1st August 2020). I have read a few mystery novels before. I have joined this group to read more and good Mystery and Thriller books. I see that this group is great the moderator's replying to everyone's comments. So everyone's are paid attention to their comments. I like such active groups every comment is paid attention. I hope to discover new friends and books.

[˜”*°•.˜”*°• Sheri •°*”˜.•°*”˜, Moderator]

Hello Anees. I'm in North Carolina USA. Glad to meet you.

Hope you'll join some of our book discussions.

[Sharon]

Hi Anees. I've never been to Hyderabad, but my husband used to travel there for business a lot so I almost feel as though I've been there from his photos and discussions. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Glad to see you've joined and hope to hear your thoughts on some of the books.

[Lina]

Reading for me is the only way to keep the current madness at bay. I've been re-reading a lot of my favourite series, but I'm slowly eating my way through my bookshelf. Hopefully, I will find more input here. I'm based in Germany, in the foothills of Castle Frankenstein. That influences my reading preferences, I guess. I love mysteries, especially paranormal and historical. Will read the odd thriller, if well done.

[Jenny]

Welcome, Hajar to the group.

Hello Hajar. Welcome. Best of good fortune to you and your family.

[Jess☺️]

Hello everyone I'm Jess, I'm 35 I live in the UK, I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately but it's definitely taking a turn for the better now 👍 I've read since I was really young (back when parents read to children and when the children got old enough you read to the parents) I love a good old murder mystery, psychological thriller and a bit of true Crime too.

[Jenny]

Welcome, to the group, Jess. I hope you enjoy reading and discussing books with other members of this group.

[Jess☺️]

Thanks Jenny I'm definitely looking forward to it.

[[deleted user]]

Hi everyone! My name is Anna, I am a 40 something book lover living in the south east of England.

I love to read, but like Jess, have been in a slump. My reading this year has been very sporadic and I thought that going back to the Crime, Thriller, Mystery etc. genres, which were always my favorite genres, would spark my reading love again.

I am really looking forward to getting to know you and participating in the group.

[Jenny]

Welcome, to the group Anna. I hope you enjoy discussing books with other members of CMT.

[Rob]

Hello everybody! I love the fact that this group has been so active and welcoming!

[Paul]

Hello,

I am new to the group. My name is Paul Bellocq, and I am a researcher in criminology and behavioural science. My preferred topics of interest are unsolved murders and cold cases. I have recently published, View to a Kill: Deciphering the Murder of Mary Jane Kelly, which is available on Amazon. I look forward to conversing with the members.

[J.B.]

Hello Anna
Best of good fortune to you. Enjoy your reading

[Abeer]

Hi. I'm Abeer and I have recently joined this group. I live in the UK but originally from Pakistan. Reading has always been a huge hobby of mine. I love to read crime thrillers and psychological thrillers. I joined this group because I want to meet people who have similar interests in book genres as me. I look forward to meeting you all, hearing your book recommendations, and taking part in discussions.

[Natacha]

Hi!
I've been reading sci fi and fantasy for forever, but I got bored and decided to try a psychologial thriller. Now I can't get enough of them! So far, I've just been reading the more famed books like Gone Girl and such, but I hope to learn about the lesser known writers here.

[Jenny]

Welcome, Ghanima, Abeer and Paul to the group. I hope you enjoy discussing crime mysteries and thrillers with other members of this group.

[Iain]

Hi everyone,
I live in the UK and have always written. I beat Adrian Mole to it by starting a diary at 13, kept it up daily for 17 years and then consigned it to the attic. I think 'purile' would be a good descriptor. But it got the old pen moving.

Now, decades later, I have recently published my debut thriller, 'Taken Flight' with sales just breaking the 1,000 mark. So I pretend to my friends that I am a real author now.

I like a good thriller. Plot does it for me. Thank you, Lee Child. Perhaps I am quite shallow? I also read what I call 'books about stuff', which I think means non-fiction.

The link here show Amazon UK, but the book is available on all regional sites.
Taken Flight: A hundred people vanish. For one, it's personal.

[Anooja]

Hello everyone, I'm Anooja.
I am fresh out of Med School and I have always loved reading. I read pretty much everything I can get my hands on but this is my favourite genre,so I'm glad I'm here. Hoping to get a few suggestions and interact more with people with similar taste.

Tell me, when you read a book or watch a film that includes a hospital scene do you cringe at the inaccuracies of procedure and dialogue? Or do you let it pass as it is 'only fiction'?

[Anooja]

Most of the time I let it pass but some authors make it really difficult not to cringe

[Christy]

Hello!

I'm Christy! I'm a 28-year-old mother of two. My boys are 7 and 9 (well, almost). We are doing virtual school this year, I am training to be a travel agent, and I have been reading a LOT more than what I have in the past. I go through phases of wanting to read and convincing myself that I don't have the time.

When it comes to reading, I love light-hearted romcoms, post-apocalyptic fiction, suspense (I am a true crime junkie, that's actually my fav podcast right now "Crime Junkies"), and sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal RH and YA.

[Gem , Moderator & Admin]

Hi Norm, Iain, Anooja, Christie,

Welcome to the group. I hope you'll enjoy the group. If you ever need anything, please feel free to message me.

I like true crime books too. Sounds awful to say that, doesn't it, but it's such interesting reading.

Same here! I always feel funny about saying "four stars, I enjoyed that" when it comes to real life crime.
