Party On!
Back on Monday, we let you know about the first anniversary celebration taking place over at The Rap Sheet. Editor J. Kingston Pierce told us they had asked “more than 100 novelists, critics and book bloggers -- running the gamut from Michael Connelly, Laura Lippman, Ian Rankin, Michael Marshall, Rhys Bowen, Peter Temple and Zoë Sharp, to Lee Child, Gary Phillips, Sarah Weinman, Barry Eisler, Sara Paretsky and Declan Hughes -- to answer one question: What one crime, mystery or thriller novel do you think has been most unjustly overlooked, criminally forgotten or underappreciated over the years?”
As of this morning, the feature is up to nine installments. It’s been a terrific week that’s sent lots of crime fiction lovers running for their local bookstore.
This morning’s entry includes lost book picks from Karen G. Anderson, Linwood Barclay, Mark Coggins, Willetta L. Heising, John Lutz, Chris Mooney, Benjamin Potter, Mary Reed, Peter Robinson, Gerald So, Andrew Taylor and James Lincoln Warren.
I don't know if Pierce is planning on publishing some sort of master list once the festivities are complete. But, until such a thing appears, you can just visit The Rap Sheet and scroll and read until you’ve seen all nine installments.

Thank you, Linda, for your kind comments regarding The Rap Sheet's "underappreciated novels" project. I posted the 10th and final list of nominees yesterday, and followed that up today with a complete list of the titles selected over the last week. (That rundown can be found here: http://therapsheet.blogspot.com/2007/05/ones-that-got-away.html). I have also created an archive site, where readers can catch up with the full series, with installments posted numerical order of their original publication. (That archive is located here: http://therapsheet-onebook.blogspot.com/).
With a full year of The Rap Sheet now under my belt, I look forward to spending a quiet Memorial Day. Then it's back to my usual browsing over the Web and interviewing novelists for material to keep The Rap Sheet lively each day.
Cheers,
Jeff
