Crime/ Thriller and sub genre group

I've listed everyone who has indicated an intererest and who has a book, in the order they posted.

Whilst you are all deciding how you want to play, I suggest you pick books to read, score, and comment as above as detailed as you like. I am suggesting 5 reads per week for whatever books, and in two weeks time on a Monday I will post the overall scores.
email your total scores only to declanconner@hotmail.com

If you can think of a better way, or someone more suitable, then fine.

New members post on here with your link and I will update the list.
