Almost 5000 mysteries were published in 2005, with over 5500 published the year before. Bill Eichenberger of The Columbus Dispatch asked, "With so many new mysteries flooding the market annually (based on statistics from bibliographical-information supplier R. R. Bowker), how can readers find the most promising new authors and their compelling crime solvers?" After a bit of investigative reporting, he found a consensus forming around five of the hottest new sleuths worth reading, listed together with their most recent books.
Vince Camden (Citizen Vince by Jess Walter; HarperCollins 2005).
Jack Taylor (The Dramatist by Ken Bruen; St. Martin's Press 2006).
John Ray Horn (Red Sky Lament by Edward Wright; Orion 2006).
Lydia Chin and Bill Smith (Winter and Night by S. J. Rozan; St. Martin's Press 2002).
