Reading List: Crime By Country

On this page I will be listing the many crime books that I have read and own according to which country they are (predominantly) set in. I will start with crime fiction, noir fiction, cosy crime and detective fiction. Depending on the list (which is by no means a complete list), I may even include some historical crime fiction.  It will mean that titles in a series may be split up according to where they are set geographically and only those I have read are listed - which means there may be some incomplete or out-of-order series.
