You can see all the Euro Crime reviewers Top Reads of 2009 here.

My own translated crime fiction choices had a distinctly Northern European bias.

Best translated crime fiction read in 2009:



I also read an exceptional book about the lives of ordinary people living in Nazi Germany:

This masterpiece written in 1947 while not strictly crime fiction was by far the most moving book I read this year and deserves a special mention.
