Searching For The Latest Crime Novels


By Deanne Shepard


If you enjoy reading crime and mystery stories, you will always be looking out for new offerings. The latest crime novels are available from many online sources. Searching for them online helps a great deal, especially when you want to compare prices and find any special deals or discounts. It is also possible to find out when new books are going to be released.

If you have a favorite author, it is simple to do an internet search to find out what he or she has written most recently. Most sites with sections devoted to this genre will have a list of authors available. Clicking on the name will show the latest offerings, often with short reviews. Some of these sites even enable you to see upcoming releases of books with dates of when they are due to be released.

The favorite author of a reader may not have written a new book for some time. In this case, he or she might be directed to books written by other authors who write the same type of stories. If one enjoys Scandinavian thrillers, for example, other authors writing this type of book will be suggested.

Perhaps readers want to select authors they have never read before but do not know how to go about this as there are so many of them. This is where lists of best sellers may come in handy. It is always helpful to know what other people are enjoying. Covers are displayed and this is what first catches the eye. Once a particular book is selected, it is possible to read an extract. This is often the quickest way to find out whether the content is appealing or not.

Another way to narrow down choice is to look at featured books. These are often picked and reviewed by in-house editors who usually have some experience in the industry. Reviews of books are also written by fellow fans and when someone is particularly excited about a specific book, their advice may be worth following.

There are websites that are specifically devoted to the crime genre. Everything found on such a site is specifically dedicated to fans of the genre and can be very interesting. This may include an interview with an author to discuss a recent release or an article offering insight into the inspiration of an author. Books that have just been released or upcoming books to be released may also be discussed.

It is possible to purchase books in many different formats from these sites. They are usually available in both paperback and hard cover versions. It is also possible to download versions for reading on a device like a kindle. Prices of the different formats can vary considerably with the hard cover being the most expensive.

You will find it easy to find new releases, check prices and look for special offers online. You may discover the joy of discussing books with others and keep up to date with all aspects of the genre. Today there is no excuse for complaining about having nothing to read.
