Crime

[close] This is a group for reading vintage British mysteries from the Golden Age and beyond, including the British Library Crime Classics series. We have a group challenge to read Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries all through 2016. We also hope to read books by other famous authors from the era, like Agatha Christie and Margery Allingham - and will include a few from other countries.

[close] Oct 2016/ Nov 2016 Group Reads - The Trespasser by Tana French and The Girl Who Lied by Sue Fortin _ _ _ _ _ “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.
