The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

I saw a challenge like this in another group and thought it would be fun to try out and would get me to read more books in my forever expanding to-read list. The challenge was to read books starting with letters A to Z. But I thought to take it one step further and do antagonists instead of book titles.

So here goes...

Start date: 1/1/15
Finish date:

18/26

A: Allison Muller (15th Affair by James Patterson)
B: Ben (The Girl With No Past by Kathryn Croft)
C: Carlos (The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum)
D: Donald Laing (Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith)
E: Elizabeth Tassel (The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith)
F: Frank Chambers (The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain)
G: Gideon Bell (NYPD Red 2 by James Patterson)
H: Hook Hobie (Tripwire by Lee Child)
I
J: John Bristow (The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith)
K:
L: Julia Lamarr (The Visitor by Lee Child)
M: Major Marshall (The Enemy by Lee Child)
N: Sir Neil Rorke (Alchemist by Peter James)
O
P
Q
R: Thomas Ripley (The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith)
S: Sidney Morse (Split Second by David Baldacci)
T: Tom Watson (The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins)
U
V
W
X
Y: Phylis Yarborough (Heat Rises by Richard Castle)
Z: The Zec (One Shot by Lee Child)

If you want you can do book titles or even authors names or protagonists instead of antagonists.

If you are doing book titles then disregard "a", "an" and "the"

e.g. If the title is "The Visitor" then it will go under "V" instead of under "T"
If the title is "A Wanted Man" then it will go under "W" instead of "A"

You can use either the first or the last name of the author/protagonist/antagonist.

Since Q,X and Z are hard to find it can be anywhere in the title/name.

Sounds like fun! I think I'll do the same as you, Farhaanah, and do the antagonist. I've done a few A-Z challenges but never the antagonist. May take me a while. Here goes:
