What we’re about
There are no group member fees anymore!!! (YAY!). Each meetup will have a charge of $2. This is to prevent trolls that often appear through Zoom (even with the below precautions) and to help pay the hosting fees and zoom costs. There will also be codes provided through the blog for each meetup (see the meetup description) to join the meetup up for FREE. The blog link is below.
This group reads and discusses the Thriller genre. Mainly psychological thrillers. At this time, we meet 2x a month, once on a weekday and once on a weekend. Feel free to join as many meetings/discussions as you like.

I have many books in queue right now that are some best sellers. I will read each book in advanced and then create a meetup about 5 weeks after I complete the book to give you time to read it before I open for a video discussion.
I will include a brief synopsis of the book in the meetup and a link to the specific blog about it. The blog will include the discussion questions that will be asked during the Meetup. Feel free to respond on the blog if you like. You can also add more questions in the comments.

See all- A Talent for Murder by Peter SwansonLink visible for attendees$2.00
Get a FREE Code to join by reading our blog.
A newlywed librarian begins to suspect the man she married is a murderer in this spectacularly twisty and deviously clever novel by bestselling author Peter Swanson.
Martha Ratliff conceded long ago that she'd likely spend her life alone. She was fine with it, happy with her solo existence, stimulated by her work as a librarian in Maine. But then she met Alan, a charming and sweet-natured salesman whose job took him on the road for half the year. When he asked her to marry him, she said yes, even though he still felt a little bit like a stranger.
A year in and the marriage was good, except for that strange blood streak on the back of one of his shirts he'd worn to a conference in Denver. Her curiosity turning to suspicion, Marth investigates the cities Alan visited over the past year and uncovers a disturbing pattern - five unsolved cases of murdered women.
Is she married to a serial killer? Or could it merely be a coincidence? Unsure what to think, Martha contacts an old friend from graduate school for advice. Lily Kintner once helped Martha out of a jam with an abusive boyfriend and may have some insight. Intrigued, Lily offers to meet Alan to find out what kind of man he really is ... but what Lily uncovers is more perplexing and wicked than they ever could have expected.

On His Own
Thomas Bellweather hasn't been in town long. Just long enough for his newlywed mother to be murdered, and for his new stepdad's cop colleagues to decide Thomas is the primary suspect.
Not that there's any evidence. But before Thomas got to Garretts Mill there had just been one other murder in twenty years.
The only person who believes him is Charlotte Rooker, little sister to three cops and, with her soft hands and sweet curves, straight-up dangerous to Thomas. Her friend was the other murder vic. And she'd like a couple answers ... Answers that could get them both killed, and reveal a truth Thomas would die to keep hidden ...
- (CLASSIC) The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley JacksonLink visible for attendees$2.00
GET A FREE CODE & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS HERE
The Greatest Haunted House Story Ever Written.
First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a haunting; Theodora, his light-hearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a chilling encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers-and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.
