While I continue to evaluate and reassess my own reading choices over the last 11 months, with an eye toward picking my favorite books, Publishers Weekly is already out with a rundown of what it says are the Best Books of 2011. Included on that list are nine works from the mystery- and thriller-fiction shelves:• The End of Everything, by Megan Abbott (Reagan Arthur)
• Started Early, Took My Dog, by Kate Atkinson (Reagan Arthur)
• Revenger, by Rory Clements (Bantam)
• Hurt Machine, by Reed Farrell Coleman (Tyrus)
• A Simple Act of Violence, by R.J. Ellory (Overlook)
• Field Gray, by Philip Kerr (Putnam)
• The Most Dangerous Thing, by Laura Lippman (Morrow)
• A Trick of the Light, by Louise Penny (Minotaur)
• Two for Sorrow, by Nicola Upson (Harper)
You’ll find short write-ups about each of these novels, plus comments on other PW favorites in many categories, here.
