Crime, Mysteries & Thrillers discussion

Hi all,

This is the nominations thread for April 2017. Please be aware that if you nominate a book and it is chosen as one of the three winners, you are expected to moderate/lead the discussion. You need to be able to at least check in once to twice a week to keep the discussion going.

The rules:
1) Authors aren't allowed to nominate their own books and your post will be deleted (feel free to post in the authors' threads on our site) and you might be banned from the site!
2) 1 book suggestion/nomination per person
3) First come, first serve. So whoever gets their nomination for a book in first, gets dibs on that book
4) A book in a series is fine
5) Please be mindful that recent books might not be readily available (yet) and be mindful that your suggestion is available in multiple formats. Please do NOT suggest books that haven't been published yet.
6) Please check that a book hasn't already been read by checking our unread section of the bookshelf (it's not a 100%, I'm working on it).

Nominations will run until the 11th of March with voting following via a poll.

Any questions, PM me

caught my attention few weeks ago. I have it on my Kindle and I intend to read it. They say it resemblances with The Silence of the Lambs , great book and TV movie. Anthony Hopkins is awesome, one of my favorite actors.
Maybe we'll have a pleasant surprise with as well.

It is the best debut book I have ever read and there will be a follow up book.

Hi Ev,
This book is a fantasy book and we're a thriller/Mystery bookclub. Can you suggest a book that is more with our genre?

I nominate Bad Debts by Peter Temple

The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino

Trust Your Eyes by Linwood Barclay

I'd like to nominate Shank by Roy Harper

Definitely want to nominate The Clock Strikes Midnight by Joan C. Curtis. It was fantastic, I read it in one sitting.
The Clock Strikes Midnight

Then Suspect

LAPD cop Scott James is not doing so well. Eight months ago, a shocking nighttime assault by unidentified men killed his partner Stephanie, nearly killed him, and left him enraged, ashamed, and ready to explode. He is unfit for duty...until he meets his new partner.

Maggie is not doing so well, either. A German shepherd who survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan sniffing explosives before losing her handler to an IED, her PTSD is as bad as Scott's.

They are each other's last chance. Shunned and shunted to the side, they set out to investigate the one case that no one wants them to touch: the identity of the men who murdered Stephanie. What they begin to find is nothing like what Scott has been told, and the journey will take them both through the darkest moments of their own personal hells. Whether they will make it out again, no one can say.

I've read The Sleepwalker, loved it. And I second The Nightwalker, especially since it's already on my TBR list.

BookTrib Nominates Mike Bond's Assassins
From its terrifying start in the night skies of Afghanistan to its stunning end in the Paris terrorist attacks, Assassins is a novel of the last 30 years of war between Islam and the West. Based on the author's experiences in the Middle East and elsewhere, Assassins reveals this unending conflict through the lives of an American commando, a French woman doctor, an Afghani terrorist, a Russian major, a British woman journalist, and a top CIA operative.
Drop by parachute into the deadly mountains of Afghanistan, fight door to door in the bloody cities of Iraq and the lethal deserts of Syria, the Sinai and North Africa, know the terror of battle inside a Russian tank, feel the power of love when at any instant you both can die - it's all there, all real,in Assassins.

I second "The Sleepwalker."

I nominate His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet
