Further adding to our inventory of “best crime novels of 2020” lists, here comes Shots critic and blogger Ayo Onatade with a very fine top-12 pile of her own. Among her choices:
• The Law of Innocence, by Michael Connelly (Orion)
• Like Flies from Afar, by K. Ferrari (Cannongate)
• The Less Dead, by Denise Mina (Vintage)
• City of Spies, by Mara Timon (Bonnier Zaffre)
Separately, Onatade remarks on her favorites from “an eclectic range of non-fiction crime books.” Those include Agatha Christie’s Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World, by Dr Mark Aldridge (HarperCollins); Cover Me: The Vintage Art of Pan Books, 1950-1965, by Colin Larkin (Telos); Detectives in the Shadows: A Hard-Boiled History, by Susanna Lee (John Hopkins University Press); and Southern Cross Crime, by Craig Sisterton (No Exit Press).
Hmm. It seems I missed reading a few good books this year …
