Just a newbie saying hello

[Jamie]

Hey y'all! My name is Jamie and I'm so excited to join this group. I've always been obsessed with all things crime, true crime, mystery and thriller, but none of my friends and family share these interests so I have no one to talk to about them... which is why I'm so looking forward to being able to discuss all things mystery and thriller in this group.

I fell in love with reading as a child and was an avid reader up until college. Last month, I started throwing myself headfirst back into reading and it feels like coming home after being away for long time. I especially love books about heists (art heists, bank heists, any and every type of heist), but haven't been able to find a lot of books where heists are a major plot point. So, if you have any recs involving heists (fiction or non-fiction), I would love to hear them. I'm also bilingual and want to read more books in Spanish so if you have any mystery or thriller recs written in Spanish, feel free to send them my way too.

Thanks for reading and thanks for letting me join! :)

Welcome to the group, Jamie!

I don't personally know of many heist novels, but I've included a couple of links that may help:
