UK TV channel ITV3 shortlisted six top crime writers for its inaugural 'Crime Thriller Award' for the best contemporary author in this genre - and the shortlisted authors were Lynda La Plante, Ian Rankin, Ruth Rendell, Colin Dexter, Val McDermid and P D James. Since this is one of my favourite genres, I thought I would do a quiz on each, too! Feel free to PM me (or Google) if you'd like to know who won, by the way. Questions are not short (please do not take this quiz if you dislike long questions!), and info from Wikipedia, the authors' own Web sites and a selection of book/bibliography sites.

I love her books...but really knew nothing about her. I guessed most of the time, but this was a great quiz!!
Have always loved Ruth Rendell. She helped me get over the loss of the great Agatha Christie. Loved your quiz.
I did really bad on this quiz because I did not know much
about her. I took it to learn more which I did. Our PBS
station here sometimes shows The Ruth Rendell Mysteries
which I enjoy very much. I loved learning more about her.
Thanks for a great quiz!
