"I read ____ in high school, and actually liked it."
"It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in."
"YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?"
You know the drill.

Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book.
This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply...
- we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics;
- we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports;
- we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there;
- we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book;
- we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material;
- we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____.

Every month we'll choose three books to read:
1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us),
2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and
3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members. ...more

“It was a dark and stormy night. Lightning flashed and thunder rolled across the sky. Rain spattered a mysterious, hooded stranger who peered over the hedgerow at the darkened, quiet house.”

Do lines like these quicken your heartbeat and pique your interest? Then Welcome to the Mystery, Crime and Thriller Group! This is the place for you.

Join our intrepid moderators, “DCI” Donna, “Sherlock” Hayes, Nancy “Drew”, and “Cat Burglar” Bill as we read and discuss our favourites, recommend new authors and explore the Genre.

This is the meeting place for readers to discuss their favourites and recommend new authors, and the place for budding and established mystery, crime and thriller writers to introduce us to their efforts. You can travel into the past to discover great characters like Sherlock Holmes, Inspector Maigret and others; journey around the world to other countries and meet Aussie Phryne Fisher, Norwegian Harry Hole and so many others; just relax on your couch and experience the wonders of Hercule Poirot, Lord Peter Wimsey, etc; or hard-boiled, tired gumshoes like Travis McGee and Kinsey Milhone. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wonderfully varied world that is Mystery, Crime and Thrillers.

Join us and have a great time!

1. Please provide plot details (no spoilers) and the genre of the book you’re looking for in the Topic Header - not something vague like "Help! can't remember this book". Someone is more likely to recognize your book.

2. Don't create duplicates of the same request. You can "bump" your topic/thread (that is, post a comment to it) every 30+ days - or sooner if you remember more information.

3. Tell us what year you read or heard about the book. A range of years is fine. You can also mention when you think the book was published.

4. If you're searching for more than one book (or book series), start a new topic for each book/series.

► HOW TO FILL IN THE REQUEST FORM

► CREATE A BOOK REQUEST

5. After posting a request, please come back and check if another member has found it. Check both the Unsolved and Possibly Solved folders. If you've found your book, post a comment to let us know. You can add "Solved" to your Topic header and move it to a Solved folder by clicking "Edit" on the desktop website (not the mobile app) - or a Moderator will assist.

6. If you're helping someone find a book, please give suggestions only when you recognize the book or have a good reason to believe it's the book.

7. Don't delete your original post with the request. This information may help others looking for the same book in the future.
