The short list
Here is my order..
5.0, HYPOTHERMIA, Arnaldur Indridason
5.0, THE DARKEST ROOM, Johan Theorin
4.8, THIRTEEN HOURS, Deon Meyer
4.6, THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST, Stieg Larsson
4.5, AUGUST HEAT, Andrea Camilleri
4.4 BADFELLAS, Tonino Benacquista
Of course, what you must take into account is that I am notoriously bad at getting things right.
How did I choose between HYPOTHERMIA and THE DARKEST ROOM?
Not sure really. This is the order I have them in on Smik's Reviews
If it was Australia's Ned Kelly Award, they'd be declared joint winners.
There's a group of us who have been generating our own rankings and you might like to check these blogs: Reactions to Reading, Crime Scraps, and if you’ve not yet done so you can vote at Euro Crime (see the very top of the right hand side bar) for the book you want to win the award and again for the book you think will win the award.
What do you think - is my list the same as yours?

Hypothermia is my favourite too, though I'm pretty sure it won't win.
Thanks for your perspective, Kerrie. I'm just happy they're all really fine books.
Hi, I'm the CWA's webmaster. We intend to launch a new CWA website (on the same address thecwa.co.uk) on 23rd July, and will post the results as soon as we can after they happen.
If you use Twitter, any tweet with the hashtag #thedaggers will show up on our new site. So why not give it a go?
