    You include hacks like Grisham and the wildly overrated Moriarty, and neglect one of the greatest mystery writers of all time, Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine? And no nod to PD James or Dorothy Sayers? The one genre that women arguably dominate and you omit these queens? Makes me doubt your credibility as a mystery fan!
