Fiction

Wonder why they came out with it only recently. Most of these lists dropped around Y2K. But it doesn't hurt to have another of them.

My only nits with it would be that I'd choose Michael Connelly's The Poet over The Lincoln Lawyer, From Russia with Love rather than Casino Royale for Ian Fleming, and Patricia Highsmith's Stranger on a Train over The Talented Mr Ripley--although that one might be a super-close call.

As for which ones I've read:

Wilkie Collins – The Woman in White
Ngaio Marsh – A Man Lay Dead
Dorothy Sayers – Gaudy Night
James Cain – Double Indemnity
Dorothy Hughes – In a Lonely Place
Ian Fleming – Casino Royale
Margaret Millar – Beast in View
Patricia Highsmith – The Talented Mr Ripley
Yokomizo Seishi – The Honjin Murders
James Crumley – The Last Good Kiss
Umberto Eco – The Name of the Rose
Barbara Vine – A Dark-Adapted Eye
Qiu Xiaolong – Death of a Red Heroine
Kate Atkinson – Case Histories
Stieg Larsson – The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Michael Connelly – The Lincoln Lawyer
Gillian Flynn – Gone Girl
Viet Nguyen – The Sympathizer
Attica Locke – Bluebird, Bluebird
SA Cosby – Blacktop Wasteland
Silvia Moreno-Garcia – Mexican Gothic
Alyssa Cole – When No One Is Watching
David Weiden – Winter Counts

And these I'll read later this year:

Dashiell Hammett – The Maltese Falcon
Daphne du Maurier – Rebecca
Graham Greene – The Quiet American
Shirley Jackson – We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Henning Mankell – Faceless Killers
Oyinkan Braithwaite – My Sister, the Serial Killer (reading it this week, in fact!)
