I am arbitrarily choosing "Crime Fiction" as the genre for this month (it was at least mentioned a couple of times in the previous thread) - interpret this as loosely as you wish :+)
Please add your suggestions for specific books to this thread - give a bit of detail about each book (or a link to a synopsis on eg Amazon).
Feel free to endorse other people's ideas - I'll pick a few books for a selection poll at the end of next week & then we can get reading.
