C.T.’s Favorite Crime Novels
There are plenty of excellent, five-star books, but these are my favorites. I loved the characters, plot, and the author’s writing style. These books also represent what I look for when I make choices to read other books.
MYSTERIES
Hard-Boiled
The Great Outdoors
Cozies
Crime Lit
THRILLERS
Legal Thrillers
Historical Thrillers
Spy Thrillers

Brian Freeman books? Have you read all 4 in Stride/Dial? I would say that Brian is my #1 favorite author right now meaning I would read him first of any new release. I would be interested to see how you feel he stacks up to your favorite authors.
I am reading Charlie Huston’s CAUGHT STEALING right now and it is more of a chore than enjoyment at this point (30% into the book). I hope it gets better.
I recently read John Hart…good stuff (with new release coming out – THE LAST CHILD).
Thanks, MO
I’ve read several of these. I’m reading A THOUSAND CUTS right now. Have you reviewed this? If so, I’ll let you know what I think of it when I finish.
