I started this year reading five crime fiction books and two short stories. The two short stories were from a new-to-me author Paul D. Brazill. If you enjoy short stories with a noir accent, I highly recommend them. You can also see my reviews by clicking on the book’s title:
The Black Box by Michael Connelly.***
Seven Days by Deon Meyer. Translated by K. L. Seegers.****
Standing in Another Man’s Grave by Ian Rankin.**** 
I Hear the Sirens in the Street by Adrian McKinty.****
Death On A Hot Afternoon (Short story) by Paul D. Brazill.****
Red Esperanto (Short story) by Paul D. Brazill.****
L’Hora Zen, by Teresa Solana. English title: The Sound of One Hand Killing.**
My preference is split between Seven Days and Standing in Another Man’s Grave. But I’ll go for Rankin by a paltry margin.

The only one of your list that I’ve read is Seven Days and I liked that very much so if the Rankin is a better novel I’d best seek it out.
Bernadette that’s pretty hard to say since I also enjoyed very much Seven Days.
José Ignacio – I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the novels you’ve read for the most part. Your post is reminding me that I must read I Hear the Sirens…. That’s one I had decided to read and haven’t gotten to yet. And thanks for mentioning Brazill’s work here. I always like it when a talented author who maybe doesn’t get as much attention as other authors gets some notice.
I’ve heard very good things about the Rankin Jose. It’s on my list to read.
I’ll seek out the Rankin, Jose Ignacio. I overdosed on the Rebus books a few years ago!
