Good question.

My name is Anny Middon.  I joined this list because I love mysteries in
general, and hb in particular; I have no other qualifications.

This may have been answered before, and will doubtless be a FAQ - but what is
the definition of Hardboiled?  I've been calling Sara Paretsky's V. I.
Warshawski books hb for years now.  Am I right in doing so?
