A small comment: I can't decide the best ever world mysteries or thrillers out there. There are too many, and I love discovering new ones.
But for anyone who loves the same type of books, please add some books by your favorite authors to the list.

"World" mystery: those based somewhere else than the usual LA or NYC, or US.
But if it's a really, really, really strongly location oriented, and moves around some US location (maybe among the foreign communities, or other subcultures) I guess it could make the list. Harry Bosch makes a great LA detective, but for adding a book to the list, it would have to be 200 % more LA and location in everything than him.

So books by authors and heroes somewhere else. Anywyere - Sweden, Japan, Brazil, Finland, Sicily, Spain, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Portugal, China...
(Ideally books that have been translated into English too)

Yep, I liked the math nerd aspect of that book. :)
It's hard to pick the best ones as there are so many great ones out there, but I see no harm in adding all the really good books to the list.
