I have had the utmost pleasure of both discovering new authors as well as reading new (and old) books by some of my favourite authors this year.
It has been an exhilarating year in terms of discovery and reading.
I thought that to close off a wonderful year of reading, I would compile a list of authors, predominantly crime fiction authors including light/cosy mysteries, new to me which I have discovered by chance (bookshelves), from brilliant bookbloggers around the world, from websites, libraries, recommendations, and from my favourite place to go - bookshops.
Here they are in no particular order:
Brian Cohen
Shamini Flint
Steve Berry
Tara Moss
Sara Paretsky
Jake Needham
Daniel Silva
Peter H Fogtdal
Stephen Jay Schwartz
Michael Stanley
S J Rozan
Lisa Scottoline
J R Reardon
P J Tracy
Judith J Jance
Joseph Teller
David Baldacci
Bronwyn Parry
Deon Meyer
Matt Hilton
Elizabeth Becka
Michael Robotham
Geoffrey Cousins
Cara Black
Stephen J Cannell
Lorna Barrett
Robin Cook
J D Robb
Dave Zeltserman
John Burdett
Robert Wilson
Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza
Melinda Wells
Mikkel Birkegaard
Peter Corris
Leigh Redhead
Fleur McDonald
Jessica Conant-Park and Susan Conant
Fiona McGregor
Helene Young
Gerald Seymour
Peter James
John Connolly
Robert G Barrett
C J Box
Dennis Lehane
Laura Childs
Russell Andrews
Nelson DeMille
Joanne Fluke
Claude Bouchard
L J Sellers
Alafair Burke
Allison Brennan
Some of you may already have read books by the authors listed above and some may be totally new to you. It is certainly an impressively exhaustive list for me. Phew!
Whichever it is, what matters is that it is never too late to read and once you do, join the club. Reading is not a competition by any means.
I look forward to another year of reading and to new (and old) discoveries.
Happy read to all!
