What was your favorite Mystery/Thriller/Suspense novel you read in 2023?

Hey, mystery fans and members of the libraries’ Just Desserts mystery fiction discussion group…

We’re on the final day of 2023, and we’re curious — what was your favorite Mystery/Suspense/Thriller that you read in 2023?

It doesn’t have to have been a “new” release this year, it could just be an older comfort read. But what Mystery or Suspense or Thriller novel stood out the most for you among all the books you read (or listened to) this past year?

Bonus Question: What was your favorite title among those we read specifically for a Just Desserts discussion! (see archive of past Just Desserts titles at this link!)

Leave a comment here, in response to this Just Desserts Blog post, with your favorite genre read in 2023. Who knows — your selection may be considered for one of our Just Desserts group reads in 2024!

NOTE: The Just Desserts Blog is a moderated blog — there will be a delay before your comment may appear.

Help us pick the October 2011 Just Desserts author

Just Desserts Logo 225Our October 2011 Just Desserts selection will be our first experiment of picking an author with numerous titles, for whom the library doesn’t have the minimum 8-to-10 copies of any single specific individual title to meet our group’s needs. Instead, we’ll pick the author, then Just Desserts members will be encouraged to read ANY of that author’s works, and we’ll discuss them ALL as a group, rather than everyone reading the same exact title.

Here’s your assignment before the July 28th Just Desserts meeting: Please look at the following list of three possible authors for October, and click the link below to express your preference of which of the three authors you’d like to see us pick. You may only select one of these three authors under consideration:

Charles Todd — his Ian Rutledge series, set in post-WWI England, featuring a Scotland Yard detective suffering from PTSD and haunted by the ghost of a soldier whose death he’s responsible for.

Louise Penny — her Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, is set in Quebec and its environs in modern day.

Suzanne Arruda — her Jade del Cameron series is set in the 1920s in Africa, and features a strong female protagonist.

Click this link to cast your vote for which of these authors you’d like to use in October! [link now disabled]

Thanks, and enjoy voting! The voting form will remain active through the end of the day on Wednesday, July 27th, 2011.
