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. The group meets 3x a month (1st Monday, 2nd Saturday, & 3rd Friday). 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.

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 ...

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.
- CLASSIC - The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar WildeLink visible for attendees$2.00
Read the Blog for Discussion Questions and FREE CODE
Oscar Wilde's alluring novel of decadence and sin was a succes de scandale on publication. It follows Dorian Gray, who, enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lordy Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his depravity.
