18 in total for me, with my non-scientific rating or score after the title. I haven't considered setting myself a target of newbies to read and wouldn't know how many I read last year, though with some time and a bit of inclination I could check back.

There's a couple in there that probably wouldn't stand up as crime fiction, but hey.... and a couple of authors in there I won't be reading again.

Highlights..........Pronzini, Nesbo, MacDonald.

Apologies for the lack of links to my individual posts about the books and a link to the Mysteries in Paradise website.........my pc skills need some tutoring, perhaps I should hone my skills as a challenge for myself. 

Sorted! Well mostly, apart from the link to the Mysteries in Paradise website - CBA with that one.
