Good list.Thanks to the Rap Sheet, this was the year I discovered Irish Noir (John Connolly, Adrian McKinty, Declan Burke, and Eoin McNamee).Also thakns to the Rap Sheet, Austin Wright's TONY AND SUSAN, a noir/literary novel that is deeper than you might think. I reviewed it at Amazon and will be submitting my essay on it to the Cormac McCarthy Journal or some similar obscure and scholarly publication.The finest crime novel I've read this year is Clancy Martin's HOW TO SELL: A NOVEL, which is a darkly humorous take on capitalism as it is often practiced. Not for the feint of heart.I enjoyed Peter Temple's TRUTH, a fine follow-up to THE BROKEN SHORE.One of my top five novels of the year has to be Robert Flynn's ECHOES OF GLORY, an insightful Texas yarn with fine humor and wonderful prose, making fun of ultra-conservative fundamentalists. It won the Spur Award this year but has not garnered a mention on the many best lists across the web.A shame, for it is a delightful novel.
