Crime Detective Mystery Thriller Group discussion

This can be for both homicide detectives and private eyes.

I really enjoyed this book for a lot of reasons. I mean, it's a double murder mystery. One from the past which is a murder at Woodstock and one in the present and how both of them connect. Robinson does an amazing job. If you're a rock and roll fan from the 60's like I am, you gotta love the mentions of rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac
Still it's tough to read out of order.
Any Peter Robinson Fans out there?

This isn't your typical murder mystery. You already know who the murderer is. The question is, do you root for the killer and hope she gets away. One of the best books I read.

Keigo Higashino is on her third book.

Oh, this sounds like a good one! You're just full of great suggestions! :)

Here is another suggestion then. Not a typical Detective story. One of my favorite books from last year. Reading The Preacher now. Seems like another winner.

If you ever thought of trying some pulp fiction, then this is a great series from the 1940's. Frank Kane is a great writer. My review is there on Goodreads.

If you're interested in looking into pulp fiction books from the 1940's 50's, and 60's, then you could check out this site for some great detective novels at prologue books. Some great writers are then including William Campbell Gault, Frank Kane, Henry Kane, and Wade Miller. As far as stand alone thrillers are concerned, Helen Nielsen and Fletcher Flora are there as well. The books are under $5.00 and are available on Kindle and Nook.

I think might belong. The protagonist is a Seattle Detective. However it is a a thriller. I really like it.T E Woods A RED HOT FIX. My review is on Amazon There is another books he out this year. The UNFORGIVABLE FIX. The first in the series is

I didn't realize that this was in my Kindle. I bought it back in January. Definitely have to read this. Thanks.

I read Devotion of Suspect X a couple of years ago with my mystery book club. Everybody gave it top rating. Recently, I finished Salvation of A Saint which turned out to be just as good. I believe that this was the second book.

I also enjoy Peter Robinsons books. I have read all of them. I enjoy Ian Rankin also but seem to read him out of order. I plan on starting The Complaints soon since it starts another series

I have Salvation Of A Saint. Looking forward to reading that as well. Devotion of Suspect X was great.

I like Peter Robinson and Ian Rankin. They wrote so many books now that it is just so hard to catch up. I've been reading out of order on both of them. A Piece Of My Heart was great.

Archer Mayor usually gets praise from the New York Times. Trying to start this series from the beginning. Any fans out there? Good series about murders in a small town. I read Chat a few years ago and enjoyed it.

No I have never heard of this author but put him on my tbr list. Thank you.

No problem. He's a great writer.

As long as we're talking about great writers when it comes to British Mysteries, I would say not to forget Peter Lovesey.

Have to say he is a great writer. Great blend of mystery and comedy.

This books is on my shelf but I'll be reading it soon. Been a while since I read Walter Mosley. Hard to beat A Little Yellow Dog and Devil WIth A Blue Dress. Denzel was great in the movie. Then again, it's safe to say that Denzel has never been in a bad movie as far as I'm concerned.

I've had this on Audible for some time! Really need to get to it!

It's a great book.

The only detective series I have read are the In Death series by J.D. Robb which I really like. I also love the Women's Murders Club books by James Patterson. And I read Chelsea Cain's series. But, I really didn't like Chelsea's books that much. It was just too much for me.

My favorite series is Dennis Lehane's Kenzie & Genero novels. Hard hitting, funny at times, always engaging.

I read all of the books and thought they were great. I'm wondering if Moonlight Mile was the last book in the series. I hope not. I really hope he'll be writing more books in the series soon.

I hope I'm wrong but I suspect Moonlight Mile was written at least partly due to the success of the Gone Baby Gone film. I also hope it's not the last but it did feel very much like a goodbye to characters who have grown over the series.

I have a feeling that you're right.

I thought I had read the last Harlan Coben book so was awaiting next years when to my surprise I noticed him in my TBR pile. The book is Missing You

Looks like a good one.

Another author I really like is Michael Robothom. His first book is Suspect. These are books that will keep you on the edge of your seat until you are finished. Try him out if you haven't

I read many series but some of my favorites are the Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers series by John Sandford, Rizzoli and Isles series by Tess Gerritsen, and most of James Patterson's series, especially Alex Cross and NYPD Red. There are many others that I enjoy, just take to long to list.

Starting on the first Virgil Flowers book. Hope it's as good as Lucas Davenport. I'll be reading NYPD Red also. Heard good things about this book too.

I think you'll like the Virgil Flowers books, Ron. He and Lucas are both very different, but that just makes the books all the more interesting for me.

Sounds good to me.

City Of Bones. One of the best books I read this year in the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly.

What an interesting article! A few years ago I read another author - don't remember the name and wouldn't say anyway - who tried to pick up the N.W. mysteries, and thought they were pretty bad.
But I've read 3 of Goldsborough's and found them to be fun reads, if not Quite up to the original. It is probably a good thing that no one can quite duplicate an original anyway.
