Canadian Louise Penny tops list of best crime novels of the year


Louise Penny does it again, as Booklist names ner novel The Brutal Telling one of the top crime novels of the year.  Reviewer Bill Ott describes Penny's novels as "village cozy mixed with procedural". Place your holds, mystery lovers.



The complete list of the Year's Best Crime Novels also includes some debut authors, notably another Canadian, Alan Bradley.  Bradley's 11 year old detective Flavia has captured hearts around the world in his debut novel, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and its sequel, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag.  

Two great Canadian mystery writers to watch out for!
