Best Crime Novels of 2017-18

Booklist, a journal by the ALA, contains an annotated list of the year’s best crime novels (May 2017 – April 2018)  in the current May issue. All the titles are stand-alone editions. My personal favorite of the 20 novels is Let Me Lie by Clare Mackintosh, the subject of a previous post, but I intend to read a few more on the list. For those who enjoy a good mystery, another list to check out is this year’s Edgar Award finalists. This award is given by the Mystery Writers of America Association to the “best of the best.”
