A few of the bookish blogs I've been reading have recently been posting lists of their favourite crime reads of 2009. Not being one to miss a bandwagon, I thought I'd jump on. But my list will detail the books I came across in 2009, they may well have been published before that date.
The eagle-eyed among you will spot the fact that I've numbered them all number 1. Why? It's like saying which of your children are your favourites, innit?
1. Philip Kerr...If the Dead Rise Not
1. R J Ellory...The Anniverary Man
1. John Connolly...The Lovers
1. Caro Ramsay...Singing to the Dead
1. Carol O'Connell...Bone By Bone
1. Tony Black...Gutted
