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.

Damn, not sure how I made it onto a list with all these fine writers, but I’m proud I did. Thank you!
Nice line-up and congrats all round!
Josh, you deserve your place. Great list and some difficult omissions I’m sure.
A superb list of nominees. Highly deserved, all of them.
Some great stuff here. I have not read all of these but Pollock’s will probably get my vote.
