No 25 Karin Fossum – last but not least, as I stare at her latest Eva’s Eye on my bookself
Here is the completion of my list of My (and I emphasize MY) list of Top 25 Mystery Writers. Once again I find it hard to rank my favorite authors. It’s like ranking your children, you love them all equally. What I did was try to rank them based on how much I like their series and then have I kept up with them. That put both C J Box and Jefferson Bass near the top.Ale Kava would be up there, too. Now though I had another problem and that’s what to do with author’s whose series I read several to many years ago. Authors like William G, Tapply, Rick Boyer, Lawrence Block and George Chesbro, plus a couple of others
. Based on the number of his books I read Bill Tapply has to be near the top, for how much fun I had reading the books Chesbro and Boyer’s books rank high, and Lawrence Block gets points for two series that I read! So anyway tried to place them between the more current authors. Anyway here’s the list. Any thoughts????
