In keeping with the "reference" part of In Reference to Murder, I'm always happy to feature interesting nonfiction books for writers and fans of crime fiction. Oceanview Publishing is releasing Thrillers: 100 Must-Reads on July 5th, and it's already received a starred review from Library Journal.
Edited by David Morrell and Hank Wagner, the anthology includes essays by David Baldacci, Steve Berry, Sandra Brown, Lee Child, Jeffery Deaver, Tess Gerritsen, Heather Graham, John Lescroart, Gayle Lynds, Katherine Neville, Michael Palmer, James Rollins, R. L. Stine and more, all members of International Thriller Writers. Some of the suggested titles are considered classic thrillers, e.g. The Bourne Identity and Deliverance, but others may be a little surprising: Beowulf, anyone? Heart of Darkness? Dracula? You'll just have to read the book and find out why the authors of those essays chose them to be included on the list. (Hint: in general, books were chosen for their "significance, impact, and influence.")
