I haven't heard of a single title nominated under the Best First
category, and it's interesting to see Money Shot up against The Cold
Spot in the PBO category. Plus, is it my imagination, or is this the
first year in some time that none of the "biggies" have been on the
Best Novel list - no Pelecanos, Bruen, Connelly, Rankin, Lippman,
Burke, etc. etc. Interesting.
Let the debates begin...
Cheers,
Sandra
