Bonjour,
I haven't been on the list for ages due to real life
situations that keep getting into my pleasures. I'm back now
and hoping to keep up with you all. I am still in Montr顬 and
still reading mysteries, mostly hardboiled but with a few
forays in milder territories from time to time. I am just in
time to join in the voting. After eliminating the ones I
haven't read, I settled for my favorites or those that have
left a more lingering trace in my memory bank. They are in
order of appearance:
Abraham Trahearne (THE LAST GOOD KISS, James Crumley) Anita
Blake (series, Laurell Hamilton) Arkady Renko (series, Martin
Cruz Smith) Carlotta Carslyle (series, Linda Barnes) Charlie
Resnick (series, John Harvey) Fireball Roberts (LAST GOOD
KISS, James Crumley) George Smiley (series, John Le Carre)
Ginny Fistoulari (series, Reed Stephens) Harry aka Hieronymus
Bosch (series, Michael Connelly) John Rebus (series, Ian
Rankin) Keller (HIT MAN and HIT LIST, Lawrence Block) Kinsey
Millhone (series, Sue Grafton) Lew Griffin (series, James
Sallis) Martin Beck (series, Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo)
Matthew Scudder (series, Lawrence Block) Sam Spade (THE
MALTESE FALCON, Dashiell Hammett) Sharon McCone (series,
Marcia Muller) Steve Carella (87th Precinct series, Evan "Ed"
McBain) The Continental Op (series, Dashiell Hammett) V.I.
Warshawski (series, Sara Paretsky)
To the list I would have added:
Garrett (series, Glen Cook) Jack Frost (series, R.D.
Wingfield) Maureen O'Donnell (trilogy, Denise Mina) Wallander
(series, Henning Mankell) Win ( Myron Bolitar series, Harlan
Coben)
and many others who I either can't remember right now or who
are too tame for this group.
Nicole
