Back in the fall of 1971, NBC-TV introduced its most successful “wheel series,” The NBC Mystery Movie. Look for our anniversary posts here.
In honor of The Rap Sheet’s first birthday, we invited more than 100 crime writers, book critics, and bloggers from all over the English-speaking world to choose the one crime/mystery/thriller novel that they thought had been “most unjustly overlooked, criminally forgotten, or underappreciated over the years.” Their choices can be found here.

Without any comments on the content, the covers all look alike to me. Interesting especially since a few posts ago, we have several fascinating and very different cover art.
That's why it can be so difficult to weed out distinctive covers for an end-of-the-year "best of" selection. Art directors, bowing so frequently to the demands of marketing departments, wind up turning out inoffensive and relatively eye-catching, but so often unmemorable book fronts every year.
Cheers,
Jeff
