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.
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.
Yesterday I gave a list of the books nominated more than once.
I had expected the list to contain at least one or two "stand-out" titles, but that didn't happen.
Today my list consists of 60 authors who were nominated more than once.
Some are on the list because one of their books was nominated more than once, some because multiple titles were nominated.
