Mystery & Suspense Reading Challenge 2011

I'm joining the Mystery & Suspense Reading Challenge (hosted by Book Chick City) again. I loved it this year and am looking forward to it for the coming year. The challenge calls for participants to read 12 Mystery & Suspense books in 2011. There are monthly prize drawings for those who link up their reviews, and there is even a book prize from Simon and Schuster UK for everyone who signs up for the challenge: The Survivor by Sean Slater.

I've got a lot of books that could fit in this challenge on my TBR shelves, so here's a tentative list of some of the books I'd like to read in the coming year:

• The Agency: A Spy in the House by Y.S. Lee
• Among Thieves by David Hosp
• First the Dead by Tim Downs
• Indian Killer by Sherman Alexie
• The Manual of Detection by Jedediah Berry
• Murder, Mayhem, and a Fine Man by Claudia Mair Burney
• Murder on Nob Hill by Shirley Tallman
• Widows and Orphans by Susan Meissner
• Cat Among the Pigeons by Agatha Christie

I'll keep track of what I've read on this post.
