I am so grateful to each and every author who gave me hours of reading pleasure this year through their amazing abilities. For writing what turned out to be my favorite reads of 2010, I am especially grateful to Josh Bazell, Hilary Davidson, Steve Hamilton, Chris F. Holm, Grant Jerkins, Russel D. McLean, Ken Mercer, Stuart Neville, James Thompson, and Daniel Woodrell. Thank you. (The list is in reverse-chronological order by review date.)
Winter’s Bone by Daniel Woodrell is the first book since Minette Walters’s The Shape of Snakes that genuinely took my breath away. On the surface
