Otto Penzler, in The New York Sun, writes what he believes are the best mysteries of 2006. "Best", by his own definition, merely means the books that most moved, shocked or impressed him, made him laugh or struggle to hold back tears, forced him to turn another page or two, and continue to resonate with him now.

I bet he hasn't read A JEALOUS GOD by Dee Wilbur. It has an ending that will knock your socks off and curl your toes.
