The mystery & crime field is large and varied and we think that this diverse selection of books represent some of the best that it has to offer. Selections were tough and after some difficult decisions some very good books just barely missed the cut.
Spinetingler would like to congratulate all of the nominees.

Wow! Another packed to the gills category.
Wow. Delighted for the whole team, especially to brother Chris Rat. Thanks for the great list.
Honoured to have Off The Record on the list. And to be amongst so many great names.
Excellent short list. I wouldn’t want to have to do the picking.
Thanks for the nod! Some other fine names there as well.
Awesome – well done, mates.
Lord, what a huge honor. And among that group of books, especially. Thank you!
