Crime, Mysteries & Thrillers discussion

Hello, fellow Crime, Mystery, and Thriller Readers,


Nominations for our September 2019 General Book of the Month are now open. To ensure your nomination will be included in our poll, please make sure it conforms to the following guidelines:

✔️ You may nominate one (1) book.

✔️Only members who have actively participated in prior book discussions will be permitted to nominate books for the following month. If you have recently joined the group, please do participate in the current month's discussion so you qualify as a valid nominator.

✔️By entering a nomination you are agreeing to act as our Discussion Leader for the month-long Book Discussion for that book, if it wins.

Don't worry it is neither difficult nor time consuming. The moderators are here to help in the event that you need a hand. Please refrain from nominating a book if you are not prepared to lead the discussion.

✔️ Your nomination should be in the crime, mystery, or thriller genres or their subgenres.

✔️Your nomination should not have been read by the group in the past 24 months.

✔️A book is only eligible if it is available in paperback and digital formats in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia.

Please understand we are trying to give all our members the opportunity to participate in our book discussions. We don't want to exclude a significant portion of our members because they do not have availability to the book nominated.

✔️You may only nominate the first book in a series.

The 2nd and subsequent books in a series may be nominated only after the group has read the prior books in that series.

✔️Post your nomination as a comment below.

DO NOT notify the moderators of your selection by way of a private message, if you do you run the risk of your nomination being excluded from the poll.

I nominate

I nominate The Sixth Wicked Child by J.D. Barker

In the riveting conclusion of the 4MK trilogy, Barker takes the thriller to an entirely new level. Don't miss a single word of the series James Patterson called "ingenious."

Hear No Evil

For Detective Sam Porter, the words “Father, forgive me” conjure memories long forgotten; a past intentionally buried. For Anson Bishop, these three words connect a childhood to the present as he unleashes a truth concealed for decades.

See No Evil

Found written on cardboard near each body, these words link multiple victims to a single killer—discovered within minutes of each other in both Chicago and South Carolina—clearly connected yet separated by impossible miles.

Speak No Evil

Chicago Metro and the FBI find themselves caught in chaos—a hospital on lockdown, a rogue officer, and corruption at the highest levels. When Anson Bishop, the prime suspect in the notorious 4MK serial murders turns himself in, he reveals a story completely unexpected, one that not only upends the current investigation, but one that will change the lives of all involved.

Do No Evil

With unrelenting tension and pulse-pounding suspense, the past unravels at breakneck speed as the truth behind the Four Monkey Killer’s motive is finally revealed in this masterfully crafted finale.

I second The Sixth Wicked Child by J.D. Barker. :)

Devil in a Blue Dress by Walter Mosley

Nominated by Christopher.

Thank you, Christopher, for your nomination. I have added this book to the list.

Sheri, can you please nominate another book. Sorry, this book does not fit into the genres covered by this group.

Jenny, I thought we should nominate the 1st book from a series? The Sixth Wicked Child is already a 3rd & last book in this trilogy.

Jezzy wrote: "Jenny, I thought we should nominate the 1st book from a series? The Sixth Wicked Child is already a 3rd & last book in this trilogy."

Jezzy, that is true. However, the group has already read book one and two of this series. I think allowing the group to read book three of this series would be OK. However, I will check with the other moderators.

ok, didnt know you had discussions with the previous books. thanks for the clarification, Jenny.

Stalker by Lars Kepler is an excellent read. ISBN 978-1524732264

Clayton, thank you for the nomination. However, the Stalker is book 5 in a series. Clayton is it OK with you if I add to the running list book one of this series called The Hypnotist or would you like to nominate another book.

This is my first time nominating so not exactly sure how it works, but I’d like to nominate The Drowned Girls by Loren Anne White. Book One in a series. Thanks!
