 A belated Happy New Year and a big thank you for all the visitors to Euro Crime in its various guises. On the blog, the reviewers are currently sharing their favourite reads of 2014 (http://eurocrime.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/favourite%20reads%202014) and I'll shortly be announcing the overall favourites. The 'new discoveries' posts, which I normally release before Christmas will follow soon - delayed due to illness before and during Christmas.
