 Every Dead
Thing
by John Connolly
First time novelist Connolly writes a book every bit as
good as Silence of the Lambs. Not for the squeamish and
overloaded with characters, the plot is fast paced and
the characters well thought out.
 The Bottoms
by Joe R. Lansdale
The Bottoms is To Kill a Mockingbird with bite. A
chilling coming-of-age story set in the deep south during
the depression, eleven year old Harry finds himself in
the middle of a hunt for a serial killer. Landsdale's
characters jump off the page and his talent for spinning
a story moves to new heights here.
 Boy in the Water
by Stephen Dobyns
Stephen Dobyns writes a scary story that will keep you
riveted. Set in a remote boarding school in the mountains
of New Hampshire, this psychological thriller is a tense
tale, the kind that would be at home being told around
the campfire.
Winter of the Wold Moon by Steve
Hamilton
  Boundary
Waters by William Kent Krueger
Okay, I cheated here. However, both books are sequels,
both books advance their characters to new depths, and
both are highly entertaining mysteries that will not
disappoint.
 Tangerine
by Edward Bloor
One of my favorite children's books of the year is also
an excellent mystery. Twelve year old Paul is legally
blind, but is able to "see" what most of his
family is missing. His struggle to get through life is
absorbing and heart wrenching. Filled with humor,
intrigue, sinkholes, and bullies, Paul is a character
youll be cheering for.
