A Myster/Thriller Miscellany: 1 Book Each by 75 Authors

Exactly what the title says - 1 book by each of 75 authors noted for writing mysteries/thrillers. I have tried to avoid a "greatest hits" vibe to these selections. Some of these authors are not that well known, and some of the book selections are not the best known of that particular author's work ( although , in a few cases they are. Like "The Maltese Falcon".). My aim was to come up with 50 books that aren't on every list
