That would be a good read, and I have it already in my TBR pile....

Faces of the Gone

[Van]

The Last Sicarius

What happens to the Sicarii over the next two thousand years is part of the story and the mystery of who becomes the last Sicarius and lives to carry on the tradition will not disappoint.

I've been wanting to read this one as well.

If you'd like to post about your book in the authors' corner, that would be wonderful and very welcome. There are a number of places where you can share it with the rest of the group.

Sadly, Rule No. 2 in the blurb that precedes this entire nominations thread basically states that authors can't nominate their own books. Sorry -- it's just been a longstanding rule with the group.

Hi Nancy and All... I have a question to ask before I make a recommendation (or maybe the recommendation is within the question). Hahaha

Would the book, by David Hewson, which is based on the highly successful Danish TV series by the same name qualify?

If so, I'd like to nominate it. It is an highly acclaimed development of the epic crime tragedy reworked from the TV story into book form.

If not, no worries. But, a book you should add to your list, if you have not. :-)

I don't see why it wouldn't qualify. Consider it nominated.

[Pam]

Woohoo! Thanks Nancy! :-)

Where do we post our comments about the chosen books?

I nominate the title "Persuader" by Lee Child. This is a great read that I have just started reading and I believe that the rest of the group would enjoy this

We haven't voted on our books yet, but when we do, and winners are chosen, there will be a new thread just for the winners.

Sorry, Jacob -- Lee Child was read October of 2013, so he's not available this time.

Oh dear! I sadly miscounted late last night, but I'll still allow three more nominations. Then I'm closing this thread. I think we'll have plenty to choose from!

I've also got it at home, so wouldn't mind this one either.

[Gisela]

Brilliant list, a few of my favourite crime writers, especially Mark Billingham with his DI Thorpe. Read them all, they are brilliant. Highly recommend, espcially if you read them in order.

[Kieron]

I would like to throw this one into the mix.

Storm Front

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I don't know that we've done a paranormal mystery before! I was going to decline it because it's more fantasy, but it is a mystery and does involve the Chicago PD, so it goes on the list.

Two more slots open before I close the thread.

[Leslie]

TOO MANY!!!

Well, the good news is that you only have to pick one.

And, FYI, when you write in all caps, it's like screaming.

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Since we haven't had any more nominations, I am officially closing this thread.
