The Best Authors of Crime Fiction?
AbeBooks: The Best Authors of Crime Fiction
A list from AbeBooks today of the best crime fiction authors. Allegedly. I can't believe such a list could include Gillian Flynn but not Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham or Patricia Wentworth. Or Hazel Holt. I recommend Malice Aforethought, BTW. It's worth following the link to see the book covers. I do love some of the old paperback covers, like this one.
Which of your favourite crime fiction authors has been left out?

That said, they should have included Kate Atkinson with her Jackson Brodie series.
Two all-but-forgotten authors I have a fondness for are Margaret Millar (I love Banshee) and Liza Cody (Bucket Nut). Their books are hard to come by so I've only read a few, but I find their style superior to most crime fiction writers.
