Top Mystery in the Amazon Best of 2010 is Faithful Place by Tana French

Amazon.com has recently released its Best of 2010 list of editors' picks for the best books of the year.

There aren't many mysteries or novels of suspense on the list, but the best of them, in second place, is Tana French's third Dublin Murder Squad mystery, Faithful Place.

We agree it is an exceptional novel. In our review, published earlier this year on Mysterious Reviews, we said, "Faithful Place is written in an expansive, literary style, immersing the reader into the lives of a multi-generational family," adding that the novel "has elements of a police procedural as well as elements of a standard whodunit-style mystery, and will likely appeal to readers who enjoy either genre. With a cast of memorable characters and an intriguing plotline, Faithful Place will certainly be remembered as among the best suspense novels to be published this year."
