Crime Fiction in Translation (International) Dagger Speculation (2023)

The CWA Dagger longlists were announced at the weekend so I thought I'd better, rather belatedly, put together the list of eligibles for the Crime Fiction in Translation (formerly the International) Dagger 2023. I'll post the Longlist separately.

So here are 86 translated crime novels published between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022, that I know about. Please let me know if I've missed any. In the list below I've also included the country of birth and gender of the author(s) plus the translator's name (where known) and the publisher.

Stats: The breakdown by gender is 50 Male and 34 Female and 2 Female and Male authors writing together. Authors are from 21 countries. The most represented country is Sweden (24) followed by Japan (8) and France (7) and Norway (7). Around 60 translators (including pairs of translators) brought you these titles, with at least 16 individuals having translated more than one. (I've put "tbc" when I cannot find the name of the translator.)
