Thanks for posting the winners. I'll look for their books. But would it be nice if a few books published by a number of the outstanding independent presses were represented on the list?

ReplyDeleteDeon Meyer's publisher (Grove Atlantic) is independent.
ReplyDeleteJames Lee Burke should win every award for any book he writes..
ReplyDeletehis books sing.
A great collection of books and authors!
ReplyDeleteWildside Press is a small press.
ReplyDeleteTim Halliinan has long deserved more recognition than he gets. THE QUEEN OF PATPONG, in part, reads like a memoir, no small task when a man is writing the life of a woman.
ReplyDeleteSimon Lelic's A THOUSAND CUTS is a stunning book. Those who do not have children from pre-school to college can not fully appreciate the culture of bullying that has appeared in the last few years.
Akashic is a small press, too.
ReplyDeletePleased to see Burke on the list - he's been operating at such a high level for so very long that it seems that many awards just overlook him now. THE GLASS RAINBOW was, IMO, one of the very best crime novels of 2010, if not the best, so glad to see the Macavity voters recognising it.
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed with Deon Meyer`s 13 Hours , although good I think all his previous books were better
