Evelyn, Just love the Murdoch series on Ovation. I've watch about 15 of them and can honestly say they hold interest and each one is excellent. Did not know that
it was based on books written by Maureen Jennings, an
author I know nothing about, but will look up the link provided by you and first mentioned by JOHN.

Yes i knew she had written the series but found out after the fact. I read the books and they are a bit different than the TV series.

Thought you folks would enjoy a look at Lawrence Block's pulp covers. There are some great ones, two of which I'm fortunate to have.

Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone series and Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series are my favorites because they are the most realistic and credible (although they do stretch reality as necessary to make a good story). Almost everything else in the genre is so ridiculous it's hard to get into the story. Most are little more than comic books without the pictures.

Russell there are some good series out there. Some are more believable them others. I couldn't get into Iris Johnassen for the reason that her main characters were too "perfect"

Russell, I love the Sue Grafton series, also. I like going back to the 1980s with Kinsey because it seems like she has to work so much harder for clues without the use of cell phones and computers. I just wish that I aged as slowly and Kinsey!

I agree Kathryn! In moments of peril I've often thought if only she had a cell phone! But at the same time I've learned a thing or two about criss-cross directories. She could have REALLY used the Freedom of Information Act too.

I love that Grafton wrote the whole series keeping Kinsey within just a few years. I just finished the last one and was thinking that when I started reading the series I was a couple years younger than Kinsey and now I'm a couple years older. Sigh, reality.

I love to follow a series through technological changes, through the 90's and into the present. Really cool to keep remembering what they had to work with.

[Rick]

I enjoyed the first Transylvania book immensely

[Scott]

rick...lol...the girl who did stuff series....thats a great phrase.

I enjoyed much of the Kathy Reichs series...and I just realized after reading ricks post...that i read the anne rice erotica series years ago...sleeping beauty(?) they were strange but fascinating in some ways.

I also loved Maupin's Tales of the City series....the pbs series they did on it with laura linney and olympia dukakis is a gem....highly recommend to anyone...its funny with a nice lil mystery interwoven in there.

My favorites have been mentioned. I literally run to Sam's to buy Karin Slaughters newest books, or immediately add them to my IPAD.

One good author I love, that I have not seen mentioned, is Linda Castillo. Try reading her Amish series. She will not disappoint!!!!!

I love WEB Griffin too. Soon as a book is released, it goes into my hot little hands. Do try "The badge of Honor" series!!!!!! He will capture you in the first 25 pages!

Nice group here. I am making notes of several new authors.

P.S. To Sophia........I just finished Pillars of the Earth. OMG fabulous.

[Evelyn]

Pillars of the Earth was awesome, all of his books are worth reading.

I'm a big fan of the Charlie Fox series by Zoe Sharp. And then there's Jack Reacher... Can't miss any of those. After that, I'm pretty hit and miss for series.

[Miekey]

Jack Reacher
Charlie Fox
Virgil Flowers
Pia Sabel
Cormoran Strike (JK Rowling's new thing, hope it's a series)
