Mystery

[close] Welcome and join us for our monthly group reads. We read Mysteries, Thrillers, and a variety of subgenres. True Crime, Cozy Mysteries, and Series are also discussed in the group.

[close] There is at least one reading challenge within the group per month as well as quarterly reading challenges, buddy reads, book of the month group discussions, non-competitive challenges, read to reviews, and more. Group Rules Please be respectful of this and other groups. Spamming other groups and other members will not be tolerated. Reviews must be original, new, and not be a synopsis of the book. Anyone not following these guidelines will be removed from the group after three infractions. If you have questions feel free to contact a moderator.

[close] We are a group of women who meet enjoy reading. We meet once a month for discussion and camaraderie. After a successful inaugural inaugural year in 2019, we are beginning our second year as a Club. We (usually) select our book for the month based on voting results. Please nominate books for reading using the discussion thread below. I will create and send out a poll on Goodreads every other month so that we can vote on our next reads. Based on discussion at our December Book Exchange\Get Together, we have quite a few excellent books that we may want to read this year -- including a biography of none other than a Great Falls criminal mastermind! I am looking forward to a year filled with fun reads and discussion. For January and February of 2020, we have been back and forth with choices, but finally selected two books focused on women. I think they will all spark some lively discussion.

[close] December 2019 Group Reads - Black Orchids by Rex Stout and In a Lonely Place by Dorothy B. Hughes _ _ _ _ _ “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.
