Finding The Latest Crime Novels

By Deanne Shepard


Readers are often addicted to one particular genre or another. Those addicted to the genre of crime are always looking out for the latest crime novels. With the ability to search online, readers today have more opportunities than ever before to access all the newest releases and stay up-to-date with any recent news about authors and their books.

Looking for what has been released by a favourite author is easy. Many sites for readers have a crime fiction section but there are also sites devoted entirely to this genre. On such a site, authors may be listed and just clicking on the name will immediately bring up all their recent books. There may even be a section devoted to upcoming releases and readers are able to see exactly when the next book by their favorite author is to be released and place an order.

You may be disappointed to discover that your favorite author has not written anything new. However, this may be a good opportunity to find some new authors. Some sites will even offer a list of other authors you might enjoy based on your selection of author. For example, if you enjoy reading forensic thrillers written by Kathy Reichs, you may enjoy the same type of books written by Patricia Cornwell.

You may enjoy many different types of books in this genre but are not quite sure what to select due to the huge choice available. In this case, it might help to narrow down the choice. There are always lists of top sellers, winners of awards and featured books that may be helpful. Reading extracts of books on such lists can also be a great way to find a suitable choice.

Featured books are often hand-picked and reviewed by in-house editors. These editors often have experience and expertise. However, reviews by other other customers can be helpful when it comes to trying out new authors. The excitement of another reader about a specific book may just the encouragement needed to try reading something new. Some of these websites devoted to the genre are more community based and allow participants to discuss the books they have read.

Another benefit of such sites is the articles. These may cover many different aspects of the genre, giving deeper insight into authors, protagonists in their books and the minds of the criminals they write about. They may even feature interviews with authors finding out all about what inspires them to write and more may be discovered about upcoming releases.

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.

There are many websites where lovers of crime can find new books to read, check out what has been released most recently and learn more about a favorite author. They may even have the opportunity to post on forums and discuss books with fellow fans of the genre. There are also discounts and special deals on offer at many of these online stores.
