Check out a few responses to the Times article on Crime Scraps, Petrona and Mysteries in Paradise.
I've only sampled a measly 21 of these authors (and 20 off The Telegraph selection). I'm very surprised double Dagger winner Vargas isn't on the list.

Some good people were behind this list, which makes its relegation of Dashiell Hammett to 13th place, four places behind Ian Rankin, all the more inexplicable.
Ian Rankin the ninth best crime writer of all time, and Hammett 13th? That's a bizarre joke.
