Best Crime Fiction Reads 2011 - so far - authors with multiple mentions

This is the second of my posts collating the suggestions that came in as a result of my Mid-Way Report post.
People were able to list titles regardless of when they were published

17 participants have suggested over 140 individual titles.
On Saturday I listed titles that were mentioned more than once.
Today's list consists of the authors that were mentioned more than once.
There aren't as many of them as I had expected.

The standout author was Jo Nesbo with 4 books listed:

• THE LEOPARD
• THE REDEEMER
• NEMESIS
• THE SNOWMAN

Here are the other authors mentioned twice:

• Domingo Villar:
  DEATH ON A GALICIAN SHORE
  WATER-BLUE EYES
• Joy Fielding:
  CHARLEY'S WEB
  WHISPERS AND LIES
• Louise Penny:
  BURY YOUR DEAD
  THE BRUTAL TELLING
• Michael Connelly:
  THE REVERSAL
  THE FIFTH WITNESS
• Reginald Hill:
  EXIT LINES
  THE WOODCUTTER
• Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö
  ROSEANNA
  THE MAN ON THE BALCONY
• Tess Gerritsen
  NEVER SAY DIE
  THE WHISTLE BLOWER

Tomorrow I will publish the full list in alphabetical order of title.

My top crime fiction reads so far for 2011

It would be nice to say this is my "top 10" or "top 15" or top "20", but numbers don't always work out so simply do they?

I do try, as I record my ratings, to put the books in a sort of ranked list but the truth is that these are all good reads, some just a little better than others.
They are, pretty well, all fairly recently published books except for THE MAN WHO WENT UP IN SMOKE.
But they also include quite a number of translated books and there's a mixture of Canadian, English, American, and Australian authors. There are police procedurals, amateur sleuths, and a couple with historical settings.
What I'm finding don't rate so highly with me at present are the cozies. They do come high in the next batch though. See all I've read this year at 2011 Reviews
There really are few duds amongst the lot.
