You may nominate one book for the monthly category. This month's category is: Mystery/Thriller

Submit your nominations below. Nominations will be open for one week December 1-7.

To start this off, I'll nominate by Louise Penny. I've already read it years ago, but it's such an amazing series that I'd be happy to reread it if there is any interest.

Do you want to nominate a mystery/thriller book? It certainly could also be a romance.

I will nominate Deal Breaker by Harlan Coben. I've been meaning to re-read it anyway. It's really good and suspenseful.

I'll nominate by Amina Akhtar. It sounds like such a fun read (and is free on Kindle Unlimited).

My vote is by Jess Lourey. It's currently free to read AND listen on KU - https://amzn.to/3h3lcGP

Bah! Nevermind - it's too new.

Ugh, disregard. It'll only have been published 5 months in January, not 6.

Instead, I'll nominate by Sue Watson. It's also free on KU.

No worries - I'm sure you'll find something a bit older to nominate!

Thanks for catching that Bobbi.

I nominate The Red House Mystery by A.A. Milne (yes, the Winnie-the-Pooh author). Written in 1922, it's a locked door type mystery.

It's free on Amazon, Project Gutenberg, LibriVox (a website for free public domain audiobooks), and most libraries have the ebook and audiobook. My Hoopla has 8 different ebooks and 2 audiobooks available!

I'm not sure if any of the two I have in mind to nominate would be eligible:

Tortoise Stew by P.C. Zick Florida Fiction #1, 322 pages, orig. publ. 2006, paperback edition costs around $15, Kindle is below $5, free for KU members, a mystery

Mistress of Justice by Jeffery Wilds Deaver 368 pages, orig. publ. 1992, all editions around $7 Euro, legal thriller

Let's go with . Free on KU always works. The other one is over the page limit and I'm not sure of cost because I don't know the conversion rate to Euros.
