set in pretty funky surroundings and with incredible dialog check out Daniel Woodrell.

Since we're in "film" - the fantastic "Winter's Bone" was based on his novel.

  Too much good stuff!
Michael Connelly is another favorite... - mkuller 10:20:55 12/22/12 (3)
...and I've read all of Parker's Spencer series.
- OK, something new for me to check out! - oldmkvi 10:29:03 12/22/12 (2)
  Been reading Connelly for years now, only came to Lee Child on a friends recommendation, and loan of
  Bad Luck and Trouble. Hooked right away!
  I don't think movies do either of their books a service. Lincoln Lawyer was good, but the book was outstanding. They changed Blood Work , even changed the Bad Guy! Connelly got back at them in the Sequel, in which
  the characters in the Book complained about how they were portrayed in the movie!!
  Anyway, will certainly rent the Reacher movie.
  - Then I'd recommend... - mkuller 10:35:28 12/22/12 (1)
    ...The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy.
    
    There are a nummber of other Scandanavian mystery writers who do similar stuff like Jo Nesbo and and Henning Mankell.
    
    This past year, Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl" and Stephen King's "11/22/63" were two of my favorites.
    - Have you read Jar City? - R Browne 21:38:09 12/22/12 (0)
      A crime/mystery novel by Icelandic author Arnaldur Indridason. My Icelandic mother-in-law gave me a copy. It's a good read and I liked the movie made from the book directed by Baltasar Korm�kur. Here's a trailer for the movie:
