Im normally into romantic books but thought id give crime a try, i thoroughly enjoyed and towards the end i SERIOUSLY couldn’t wait to find out the killer… always thought it was the grandfather (somehow still alive)… But would hugely recommend it. I now plan to read Camilla Lackberg first book!

Yes Julie, I have to agree,I was so upset with the ending and now wonder also do they all die.Excellent book, I couldnt put it down, but shocked by the ending. Im still gob smacked. I give her a 10/10, being the first of her novels, I will be reading more.

Bernadette, I’ve no major discrepancy with your list. I’m planning to read next Until Thy Wrath be Past. But by the shortlist announcement will be known before I can finish reading it.

Ah Maxine that is why Last Will is not on Karen’s list! These eligibility requirements e.g. published in the UK between one date and another, and up to last year originally written in French by a woman are too complex for me.

Can’t take issue with your shortlist! In fact I think they are now identical as I originally had 7 on mine and so reluctantly removed The Summer of Dead Toys by Antonio Hill – not least because it provides a bit of geographical variation. Sorry to repeat what I’ve written elsewhere, but this year, unlike last, we are so spoilt for choice it is beyond reasonableness, let alone what a human being can read! Bring on next year – actually I’ve already chosen my winner for next year, Last Will by Liza Marklund, so I suppose I could just take the year off;-)

Bernadette – I think you’ve made some excellent choices for your short list. I’ll be interested to see how close you come to what’s actually listed.

Of your shortlist, I’ve only read Outrage and Until Thy Wrath Be Past. I would also put those on my short list. I’ve loaned a friend my copy of Dregs, which I haven’t yet read; she said it’s one of the best Scandinavian mysteries she’s ever read. I hope to read it over this holiday weekend.

I agree that Red Dragon was a better book Maxine and it did get a mention on the show. Just nice to see what is often a fairly highbrow show discussing genre without the sneering attitude that can sometimes creep in.

Wow Bill – I can’t quite imagine what it would be like to live in the same place for that long…though hopefully I will learn as I don’t plan on moving again after this move and I’m ‘only’ 44
