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.

I can't decide if it's heartbreaking or unfair. To take someone's life and extend it based on your own beliefs and assumptions seems, well, presumptuous. And to do so for the sake of making money is very 'worldly' - as opposed to the softly-shot artistic piece presented here. I am not saying the death of this young talent wasn't tragic. I love cinema as it was. But as it was is as it should be.
