[close] The Anatomy of Suspense: Dissecting the Mind Behind the Mystery Welcome to the official Goodreads group for author Hermes Marcondes Lourenço! This is the central hub for readers who crave psychological thrillers, gripping suspense, and scientifically informed mystery built on a foundation of clinical reality. As a practicing physician, professor of Urgency Medicine, and certified in Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis, I use my deep, unique understanding of human trauma, the limits of the mind, and psychopathology to craft fiction that is not just surprising—it’s intensely, unsettlingly plausible. If you enjoy a "roller coaster of sensations and emotions," complex characters, and plots that delve into the darkness of the human psyche—from brutal psychopaths (Faces de Um Anjo) and gripping historical mysteries (The Witching Hour) to global conspiracies (THE NEPHESH PROTOCOL) and elements of dark fantasy (The Goblin: The Price of the Soul)—you belong here. What you’ll find in The Anatomy of Suspense: Exclusive Q&A sessions and discussions with Hermes Lourenço. Behind-the-scenes insights into the medical and psychological research that informs the novels. Early news about upcoming releases, including international translations in English and German. Debates and recommendations on the best suspense, mystery, and scientifically informed thrillers across the genre. Ready to dissect the next plot? Join the collective!

[close] Welcome book besties! ♡ I made this group to just talk all about books (and sometimes other things)! I want to know about what everyone is reading, your thoughts during/after reading and looking forward to seeing any and all reviews no matter short/to-the-point or long/detailed. ♡ Everyone is welcomed and once we have a lot of people, I'd love to made a book club thread as well and a buddy reading corner as well :)

[close] This group is for anyone who loves a good mystery. Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell, Alice Feeney - yes, yes and yes!

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.
