Thanks, Nancy

Most of these were on my radar already, but I hadn't heard of Robert Rotstein's Parker Stern series before. Has anybody read him?

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I've never heard of him!

Sadly, there is only one non-English language novel in this list, when there were a number of good ones through the year.

These are all recent publications. Is this their annual list?

Yes. This is their "best of" 2014 list. You know, the list that comes out before the year is even over!
