I suppose it's more an adventure series but I thought I'd leave it in anyway. Another anomaly is Tove Jansson's book which is probably as much like crime fiction as Karin Fossum's Broken was. Sorry that you have a poor library service. Mine is quite good but is slow to get books from the smaller presses and few copies when they do arrive.<br /><br />Maxine, Norman and Fiona - thanks for the comments!Karen (Euro Crime)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03678348280806062648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-85326954179395893542009-11-29T18:25:10.959+00:002009-11-29T18:25:10.959+00:00Hypothermia pleasem judges!Hypothermia pleasem judges!Fionanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-36317707692457421242009-11-29T16:45:36.699+00:002009-11-29T16:45:36.699+00:00Nine, Maxine !

I wrote a while back on Kerrie's blog that some of his publishers have been confusing this issue by trying to cash in on the success of his wonderful crime novels -- Flanders Panel, Seville Communion, Dumas Club -- by making reference to them on the covers of his historical swashbucklers. They'll just annoy people, because by no stretch are the Alatriste books crime fiction.<br /><br />Otherwise, I have read a grand total of four of these titles, so Maxine is way ahead of me. This is largely a function of my living in the catchment area of the worst public library system in the history of the universe and all parallel universes, as I keep on telling them.Philip Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739418522974972567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-22424522407706080862009-11-29T12:02:27.958+00:002009-11-29T12:02:27.958+00:00What a fantastic list, thank you Karen!

(I have read other books by some more of the authors).<br />Thanks, Karen, I'm looking forward to perusing the titles on this list - first I'll be looking for that Lief Davidsen and the Camilla Lackberg.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-79724725556394641212009-11-29T09:35:16.053+00:002009-11-29T09:35:16.053+00:00Many thanks Jose for letting me know.
