Why October Is the Perfect Month for Thrillers and Crime Novels A popular YouTuber recently described my upcoming thriller as “perfect for Halloween,” and that offhand comment stuck with me. Not because the book is scary (though it has its moments),…

It might not be October anymore, but you already know we’ll still be reading thrillers☠️ it’s always spooky season in our hearts

A+ #BookReview: The Dentist by George Sullivan My Review: Murder mysteries usually begin with a dead body - even if the body hasn’t been found in the first chapter. That’s the usual. The victim of this particular murder is a homeless man, and it’s unfortunately also usual that the undermanned and underfunded police generally do not put much investigative effort into such cases - even though it’s obvious that this man has been murdered.
