Purchasing 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.

It is not difficult to search for the latest releases of an author. Booksellers have sections devoted to this genre and authors are usually listed. Clicking on the author brings up their books and the most recent one can be selected. Some sites have a section listing upcoming releases and offer the option of placing an order before the book is even released.

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.

If a reader is wanting to broaden their horizons within the genre and find new authors, they may not know how to go about this. However, here are many options available to help them them if this is the case. Picks of the month and top seller lists reveal what other people are enjoying. Extracts can be read which is very helpful as readers can usually judge quite quickly whether something will interest them or not.

Reading reviews is a good way to help you make a decision. Some of the reviews are written by professionals like in-house editors or journalists. Others are written by fellow fans. Sometimes a review by another customer who likes the same books as you can spark off your interest in a particular book. Interacting with other book lovers on forums or in discussion groups is another way to get helpful suggestions for new books to read.

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.

There is no excuse today for readers not to find exactly what they are looking for. They have the option of going online and being exposed to an enormous array of books. The biggest problem they have is to make a choice. Even this is not difficult with access to best seller lists, pick of the month, featured books and even lists of prize winning books. There are books available for every budget too with many discounts and special offers available as well.
