Brenda Hi all, I'm Brenda and I decided to start this group as there are lots of us who love the genres of Crime, Mystery, Thrillers and Suspense!

My only qualifications for this job are a love of reading and an addiction to Goodreads. So please feel free to participate in the discussions, as I‘ll always try to put in my ten cents worth!

PS: If you are to mention a book or author in your introduction, it would be appreciated if you could insert a link to the post so other members can view the book/author.

Happy Reading!

Michael I'm Michael, the snarky book blogger, I love crime and mystery novels and never really found a decent community for it. I'm glad Brenda started one for us. I'm interested in new releases but my main focus is the old 1940's crime novels


message 3: by Brenda (new)

Brenda Welcome Michael, great to have you on board:)


message 4: by Mish (new)

Mish Hi my name is Mish and I love to read just about any genre.

Crime is probably the only genre that I need some help with. I do enjoy a good crime novel but I feel I’m a bit out of touch…sure what it out there and what to read.

So thankyou Brenda for the invite and setting up this group for us. I’m thrilled and so looking forward to discovering new authors/books with you all :)

Mish Hello everyone and a big welcome our new members.

It’s great to see you all here :)


message 23: by Toby (new)

Toby Morning. My major claim to fame is that I own a complete set of Agatha Christie paperbacks and a few first editions. Aside from that I'm working my way through the great selections in Crime and Mystery: The 100 Best Books by H.R.F. Keating to get a better handle on the genre as a whole.

Oh yeah I'm (hopefully if all the stars align) soon to be making a short film based on a very short crime story that I've written.


message 24: by Brenda (new)

Brenda Welcome Gina and Toby! Wonderful to have you here with us in our fledgling group!!

@ Toby..congrats on the short film...let us know if your stars align, we'd love to see it;)


message 25: by A.B. (new)

A.B. Shepherd Hi and thanks for the invitation! I'm Cheryl and I love to read multiple genres but I'd say crime/mystery are my favorites. I recognize many of you from the Aussie readers group where I have not been super active but enjoy being a member. I think this group will be fun!


message 26: by Brenda (new)

Brenda Welcome Cheryl! Lovely to have you with us:)


message 27: by Shelleyrae (new)

Shelleyrae at Book'd Out Hi all,
Thanks for the invite!
My name is Shelleyrae and while I read practically anything I particularly enjoy crime/mystery/suspense/thrillers - anything from cozies featuring amateur sleuths, to psychological chillers and hard boiled detective novels (I own the entire Ed McBain 87th precinct series).
I have a book blog at http://www.bookdout.wordpress.com and usually review at least one book in the above genres a week.

I look forward to participating in this group!


message 28: by Mish (new)

Mish Welcome Toby, Cheryl & Shelleyrae :)


message 29: by Maggie (new)

Maggie Hi all I'm Maggie, thanks for the invite. Over the years I've read lots and lots of crime/mystery fiction (I'll check out the other thread and add what I can). I started reading Agatha Christie when I was about 12 and read my way through all of them at that time (obsessively). I've reread many since. I also was introduced to Josephine Tey, Georgette Heyer's crime novels, Ngaio Marsh and similar. I've moved on since then. I'm not reading as much of it at present but I still love a good mystery rather than a gory crime book.

message 35: by Sue (new)

Sue Bursztynski Hi,I'm Sue. I live in Melbourne. I'm a member of Sisters In Crime. I must admit, I prefer the cosy genre to thrillers. I also like some true crime and actually WROTE a true crime book for children.;-)


message 36: by Brenda (new)

Brenda Welcome Sue! Lovely to have you join us:)


message 37: by Mish (new)

Mish Hi Sue, welcome :)


message 38: by Sally906 (new)

Sally906 Hi all - thanks for the invite - I read a wide range of genre but enjoy mysteries. I very much lean to the cosy end - but do read any mystery other than the hard boiled and dark ones.

Was almost exclusively mysteries for a while but now content to have a varied 'diet ' of reading


message 39: by Mish (new)

Mish Hi Sally. Welcome to the group :)


message 40: by Brenda (new)

Brenda Hi Sally, wonderful to have you on board:)


message 41: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Hi I'm Heidi and I love crime / thriller / mystery books - would go as far as calling myself an addict. And I see you are currently reading a Dennis Lehane book - love his books (read all the Kenzie / Gennaro novels in a massive read-a-thon). Looking forward to sharing recommendations.

message 44: by Karen (new)

Karen I'm Karen and that is my Chocolate Lab reading the Cat in the Hat book. I love crime/thriller/mystery books, especially ones that are part of a series. I'm not an Aussie, I live in St. Petersburg, FL, but I thank Brenda for including me in your group. I look forward to interacting with all of you.

PS I do watch NASCAR and like Marcus Ambrose (9) if that counts for anything. LOL

Tyson Adams Hi all. Tyson here - well, that's my author name at least - from Western Australia. Love crime thrillers, thrillers, crime, and ponies.

Currently reading Blood Moon by Garry Disher. Just finished Robert Crais' first novel, definitely a favourite.
