NPR has listed their top five crime and mystery novels for 2008.
On the list?
Small Crimes by Dave Zeltserman;
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson;
The Chinaman by Friedrich Glauser;
Death Vows by Richard Stevenson; and
The Long Embrace: Raymond Chandler and the Woman He Loved by Judith Freeman.
I haven’t ready ANY of those yet, so that’s very exciting. I think I’ll start with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; I’ve been seeing that name around a lot.
