Re: RARA-AVIS: list from over-the-pond Times

Come on! Scott Turow & Sara Pretsky make the cut but Tony Hillerman doesn't. When in comes to writing plots, Hillerman can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best. He blows Turow & Pretsky out of the park.

Agatha Christie is number 3? For what? Selling books? She's one of the worst crime writers of all time. Her success is driven by the vast number of undiscerning readers in the world.
