Business Clothes Busty

Mystery World google leaderboard November 2010

beginning of the month. Time for the Mystery World rankings. As always with a good mix of new titles and long sellers. Interesting reading for the now long autumn evenings. What better than to spend the extra hour in the dark under a good reading lamp, an exciting read one of the hand, and either a hot Red tea or dry on the coffee table before him. Dolce far niente, as I have just learned from the year bestseller Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert : the small moments of happiness that arise when we can be work work and take care of it, that we are fine.
Here they are, the current top ten crime novels - find at least the 17 literary critic and crime specialists from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which together make this the best list every month. And I think that rankings are not worth anything when you click on them, not least the links to read samples displayed here if available, all relevant information about the books:
