Karen - Thanks for this. There are some very fine entries this time...
Hmm, so Roslund-Hellstrom is British. Quaint, these Americans ;-)
I hope Elly Griffiths and Catherine O'Flynn do well with these excellent titles.
William Ryan is Irish, I believe
Sorry - cancel that last post, I see you have a star beside his name!
Many compliments for your blog. You may actually want to read my first crime novel CELETERRA: a hardboiled crimestory, involving a table with a secret compartment, a mysterious letter from Darwin - and a visit to Heaven. Follow Vance and his faithful dog Eugene as they unravel the horrible secret of CELETERRA. http://celeterra.blogspot.com/
