The Irish Times recently published a list of Best Crime Fiction for 2021. This list was created by crime writers/critics Declan Hughes and Declan Burke. I was unable to get into the newspaper’s website to see the lists so I emailed Declan Hughes and he send me his list. I’m in the process of getting ahold of Declan Burke and will publish his list when I receive it.
