A Crime is Afoot 
José Ignacio – Oh, I’ve got several of those titles on my radar too. I’m especially keen to read the Solana, the Camilleri and the Nesser although the others are enticing too.
You’re quite right Margot. It’s difficult to make a decission. I’m very much looking forward to PIERCED.
Jose Ignacio, I have just read the brilliant Blessed are those that Thirst by Anne Holt and it should be a strong contender for the International Dagger. But my version was American and if it is not published in the UK it will not be eligible. This is where the Petrona Award will fit in I hope. A review of BATTT up soon, after I finish the VAT tax returns. 😦
Thanks for the information Norman. I’ve just added to my wish list.
Blessed is out in March so is eligible Norman, Is it better than the previous one? I haven’t read either yet. I’m currently reading T Solana’s newest.
They are both very good, BATTT is quite short but packs a lot in and one of the main characters is a dentist, which may have influenced me. 😉
It reminded me a little of Sjowall and Wahloo in the way it discussed social problems, and the over stretched police force. The characters in The Blind Goddess did grow and develop alongside the police procedural plot in Blessed.
