Best Crime Fiction 2012 - all the titles

I've been collecting suggestions for the best crime fiction fellow bloggers read in 2012 and have culled lists from 28 blogs, and put together a total list of 366 books.
There were 310 unique titles in the list. That was a bit unusual. There are usually more listed several times.

Some bloggers have focussed on books published in 2012 while others have rated all that they read, regardless of the year of publication. Some have focussed on mysteries, while others, like me, have ranged wider.

What is strange about the list I have put together is that no one book dominates, no one author either. There is a very wide diversity. Some British and European authors you might have expected to dominate are missing.

I have already published lists by titles or authors nominated more than once.
Here is the full list of the unique titles. Happy hunting and reading.
