Lee Child recommends
 Sleep with the Fishes (2000) Brian M Wiprud "If Carl Hiassen wrote for The Sopranos, it might be half as good as this... a page-turner that's part wicked humor and part just plain wicked." |  Forty Words for Sorrow (2000) (John Cardinal, book 1) Giles Blunt "Intensely vivid characters, terrible crimes and a brutal deep-frozen landscape ... Giles Blunt is a really tremendous crime novelist." |  Cold Silence (2002) Danielle Girard "High speed, high stakes, high suspense." | |
 The Master of Rain (2002) Tom Bradby "Rich, dark, atmospheric, this fine novel captures time and place perfectly. A great crime story that ends up in a place you won't predict ... " |  Scaredy Cat (2002) (Tom Thorne, book 2) Mark Billingham "Mark Billingham is the new-wave leader..." |  The Darkness Gathers (2003) (Lydia Strong, book 2) Lisa Miscione "One of my favorite new writers." | |
 One Last Hit (2003) (Joe Portugal, book 3) Nathan Walpow "I thought it was extraordinary - just fabulous. Quite apart from the plot and characters it had a terrific emotional quotient which all of us boomers should be eating up. Required reading for the Reacher Creatures." |  The Death You Deserve (2003) (Rawhead) David Bowker "A tough, fabulous, smart-mouth novel." |  Judgment Calls (2003) (Samantha Kincaid, book 1) Alafair Burke "A terrific debut, very different from her famous father's work, but the storytelling DNA is all there. This is smart, savvy, expert - and highly recommended." | |
 Blood Is The Sky (2003) (Alex McKnight, book 5) Steve Hamilton "Everything is here - his trademark sense of place, vivid, resonant charcters, and a plot to break your heart." |  Last Seen in Aberdeen (2004) (Sergeant Mornay) M G Kincaid "Smart, edgy - close to perfect." |  Cold Case (2004) (Kate Gillespie, book 4) Robin Burcell "A very talented author." | |
 Spectres in the Smoke (2005) (Felony And Mayhem, book 2) Tony Broadbent "Vintage atmosphere, great writing, perfect story... Nails the period better than I have seen it done before." |  The Waking Nightmare (2005) (Diagnosis Murder, book 4) Lee Goldberg "Can books be better than television? You bet they can - when Lee Goldberg's writing them. Get aboard right now for a thrill ride." |  In the Company of Liars (2005) David Ellis "A highly intelligent thriller that burrows backward through time like Houdini explaining a trick. An automatic book-of-the-year." | |
 Bloody Mary (2005) (Jack Daniels, book 2) J A Konrath "Excellent smart-mouth thrills ... my advice: Take a long sip." |  Bitch Goddess Notebook (2005) Martha O'Connor "Astonishing... If this isn't Alice Sebold, Donna Tart or Barbara Vine writing under a pseudonym, the Martha O'Connor is a huge new talent." |  Road Kill (2005) (Charlie Fox, book 5) Zoë Sharp "Highly recommended!" | |
 Billy Boyle (2006) (Billy Boyle World War II Mystery, book 1) James R Benn "This book has got it all-an instant classic." |  A Field of Darkness (2006) (Madeline Dare, book 1) Cornelia Read "One of the best debuts I've ever seen." |  In Plain Sight (2006) (Joe Pickett, book 6) C J Box "One of today's solid-gold A-list must-read writers." | |
 The Last Spymaster (2006) Gayle Lynds "Today's finest espionage writer unleashes an instant classic." |  Checkmate (2007) Karna Small Bodman "Gripping and authentic." |
