Here are the five nominees for the Edgar Allan Poe award as best mystery/suspense novel of 2010:
Caught by Harlan Coben
Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin
Faithful Place by Tana French
The Queen of Patpong by Timothy Hallinan
The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton
I'd Know You Anywhere by Laura Lippman
The winner will be announced April 28 at the annual
Mystery Writers of America banquet in New York. Which books have you read? What's your favorite? Or...write in your own choice.
Finally, as a Kindle reader, are the prices of these books fair? (Four are currently $9.99. "Faithful Place," published by Penguin Group, is $12.99, though it will likely also fall to $9.99 when the paperback comes out in June).
What's the "sweet spot," the perfect price for an outstanding novel?
