You are amazing! AND HI from Phil.
Nice list Rob! Well done on all the great reading in 2014. I had a very poor year in terms of books read, numberswise, but I did have some great new-to-me authors too, including Arild Stavrum, Craig Robertson, PM Newton, Ben Atkins, and Luca Veste, amongst others.
Hi Patti, I'm sure Phil might find something to his taste on the 1930-50s tab above.
Craig, I'll look those authors up and also track down some New Zealand crime fiction.
Well, not many NZ authors are published in the UK, but you could try Paul Thomas's FALLOUT, which is released by Bitter Lemon Press in March. Terrific author, won the Ngaio Marsh Award in 2013 and the Ned Kelly Award back in the mid 1990s (he had a 15-year gap between books 3 and 4 in the series).
