Thriller

[close] October 2019 Group Reads - The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler, Brighton Rock by Graham Greene and Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie _ _ _ _ _ “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! Your Moderators: Donna, Hayes, Bill and Nancy.

[close] Women of Mystery is a private group for women who love to read and discuss mysteries and thrillers written by female authors. The spectrum of our reading selections is broad, ranging from psychological thrillers, cozies, crime, action and adventure thrillers, romantic suspense and any novels that are filled with conundrums to perplex and puzzle us. We also enjoy books featuring women detectives or sleuths written by male authors. If you feel that the friendliness and comfort of a smaller reading group would be to your liking, please apply. We are always on the lookout for eager participants.
