Oh, that's interesting. This year, I plan on reading the first in the series of Molly Murphy by Rhys Bowen. :)
I haven't read the Molly Murphy books yet. I've read the Evan Evans series, and enjoyed Her Royal Spyness.
You'll have to post your comments about the Molly Murphy series, Joy.
What a great list of books. The only one I'm not familiar with is THE BLAD ITSELF. I loved SILENT IN THE GRAVE. However, I have recommended HER ROYAL SPYNESS to several people in the library. I also enjoy William Kent Krueger's books but need to catch up on them. I also have THE SPELLMAN FILES somewher here to read. Good luck to all of them!
Isn't a great list, Kay? I can see why the booksellers picked it. Silent in the Grave was one of my favorite in the year. To be honest, The Blade is a little too dark for me. But, it's a terrific list.
This is interesting :-) Haven't heard of these authors or books before. Will check them out cute cover for Her Royal Spyness. Love the titles.

Three of them are new authors, Linda. It's a good list, with solid, enjoyable reads. So, you have new authors to check out. Enjoy!
Oh wonderful :-) Thanks Lesa. I am going to look them up now :)
