The Mystery Bookstore's Top 10

The staff at L.A.'s Mystery Bookstore, a great place to buy books, offer up their picks for the best of the year.

Here are the choices of owner Shelly McArthur:

Jilliane Hoffman, Retribution
Jodi Compton, The 37th Hour
John Shannon, Terminal Island
Alan Furst, Dark Voyage
M.C. Beaton, Death of a Poison Pen
Barry Eisler, Rain Storm
Jack Kerley, The Hundredth Man
John Dunning, The Bookman's Promise
Gayle Lynds, The Coil
Liz Evans, Sick as a Parrot

Some nice picks. A couple of those (Eisler & Lynds) are probably going to be on my list as well.
