Have been lazy about doing the list of best crime fiction books I read this year. But as the say it is better late than never. So, today is the day.
Here is a list of Best Crime Fiction Books I read this year.
Here is a list of Best Crime Fiction Books I read this year.
@Beathhigh Ian Rankin's A Song for the Dark Times is by far the best book I read this year.
John Rebus is ageing, can't climb stairs, has given up on drinking, but is investigating the disappearance of his daughter's partner.
Waiting for the next Rebus. https://www.amazon.in/Song-Dark-Times-Must-Read-Thriller/dp/1409176975/ref=sr_1_1?crid=393CRT4LVSYAB&dchild=1&keywords=a+song+for+the+dark+times&qid=1609388172&sprefix=a+song+for+the%2Caps%2C323&sr=8-1

@Connellybooks No one writes police/legal procedure like Michael Connelly does and that is reflected once again in The Laws of Innocence.
The Lincoln Lawyer Micky Haller has been accused of a murder he did not commit and he is defending himself. https://www.amazon.in/Law-Innocence-Lincoln-Lawyer-Thriller/dp/1409186113/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2J8VKLH0SFUR3&dchild=1&keywords=law+of+innocence&qid=1609388415&sprefix=law+of+inno%2Caps%2C334&sr=8-1

@AnnCleeves' latest The Darkest Evening is a mix of police procedural meets Agatha Christie (yes that is a genre in crime fiction).
While Cleeves is British, her books, like many other British writers, give me a feeling of Scandinavian crime fiction. https://www.amazon.in/Darkest-Evening-Vera-Stanhope-Novel/dp/1250204518/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=The+Darkest+Evening+by+Ann+Cleeves&qid=1609388534&sr=8-2

@cathryanhoward's The Nothing Man is about a woman's search for the serial killer who killed her family.
It also is a book within a book. Had great fun reading this book. My mother found it gory though eventually she loved reading it. https://www.amazon.in/Nothing-Man-brilliantly-critically-bestseller-ebook/dp/B0855N98FH/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+nothing+man&qid=1609388778&sr=8-1

@AnthonyHorowitz's Moonflower Murders is another book within a book where the twists just keep coming.
Just the right book if you are looking for a cozy read to end the year. https://www.amazon.in/MM2-Anthony-Horowitz/dp/1529124352/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1JSDII8KUMFY6&dchild=1&keywords=the+moonflower+murders&qid=1609388865&sprefix=the+moonflower+mur%2Caps%2C-1&sr=8-2

@richardosman's The Thursday Murder Club has probably been the most successful crime fiction book of 2020.
It's about a bunch of oldies investigating a murder. Another cozy read. https://www.amazon.in/Thursday-Murder-Club-Richard-Osman/dp/024142545X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+thursday+murder+club&qid=1609389002&sr=8-1

Eva Garcia Sáenz's The Silence of the White City is an extremely gory Spanish police procedural with a lot of occult in the story.
Not for the weak hearted. But a brilliant read nonetheless. https://www.amazon.in/Silence-White-City-Trilogy/dp/1984898590/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Silence+of+the+White+City&qid=1609389045&sr=8-1

@ellygriffiths' The Postscript Murders is another book about books, but a proper police procedural nonetheless.
If you have been reading mystery fiction all your life, this is a book you will love. https://www.amazon.in/Postscript-Murders-chilling-bestselling-Stranger-ebook/dp/B0817MKHHZ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=DI5FV6BL0OE0&dchild=1&keywords=the+postscript+murders&qid=1609389289&sprefix=the+postscri%2Caps%2C319&sr=8-3

@valmcdermid's Still Life.
If there was an award for good solid writing from a writer who never disappoints, McDermid would win it over and over again.
A solid police procedural with deep Scottish roots, as always. https://www.amazon.in/Untitled-Val-McDermid-2-ebook/dp/B081KXCV33/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=still+life+val&qid=1609389434&sr=8-2

Lucy Foley's The Guest List is the best tribute to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None I read this year.
This was a book which kept surprising till the very end, even though I had more or less figured out the murderer half way through the book. https://www.amazon.in/Guest-List-Lucy-Foley/dp/0008403775/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=the+guest+list&qid=1609389735&sr=8-2

@RuthWareWriter's One by One was the second best tribute to And Then There Were None I read this year.
The book has a beautiful setting in the mountains where employees of a new age IT company are meeting for an offsite. And then they get murdered. https://www.amazon.in/One-Ruth-Ware/dp/1787300420/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=one+by+one+ruth+ware&qid=1609389866&sr=8-1
