Murder, They Wrote: The Year In Mysteries : NPR

I love to read mysteries and here are some recommendations from NPR.

However, they left out three of my favorites-more on them later…

If you click the link, you can see the other books the NPR writer recommends.

Okay, let’s acknowledge the big pink elephant (or giant red Swedish fish?) in the living room, and then we can get on with this salute to some of the other best mysteries and suspense novels of 2010. Stieg Larsson. It would be preposterous to offer a round-up of the year-in-crime-fiction without paying homage to The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest and the international phenomenon of Larsson’s entire Millennium Series. (My local independent bookstore is doing a brisk business selling black rubber bracelets imprinted with the question: “What Would Lisbeth Do?”)  Maybe 2011 will bring us Lisbeth Salander fans some version of that rumored fourth installment floating around on Larsson’s companion’s computer. If not, it’s still been a thrill to witness the launch of one of the mystery and suspense canon’s groundbreaking series.
