Top Mysteries Read in 2008

Kerri Smith of Mysteries in Paradise ran a great campaign of top books read in 2008. Unlike other surveys, the books didn't have to have been written in 2008. Over 40 crime fiction readers participated including me. See the results at Mysteries in Paradise.
Top Books:
11 THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO by Stieg Larsson
7 - SHATTER by Michael Robotham
6 - WHEN WILL THERE BE GOOD NEWS? by Kate Atkinson
5 - THE COLD DISH by Craig Johnson
4 - NO TIME FOR GOODBYE by Linwood Barclay
3 - A SLIP OF THE KNIFE by Denise Mina
3 - BLACK SECONDS by Karin Fossum
3 - CHILD 44 by Tom Rob Smith

Check out the rest of the entries at Mysteries in Paradise. Great links to other blogs, info, and more!

It was a great exercise Janet, with many more participants than I had anticipated. Great to see how so many concurred with what is the best. When you think about it over 25% chose THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO without prompting
