Melissa (melissal88) | 21 comments A Place of Execution is my favorite. But you can't go wrong with any of her books.
The Mermaids Singing is the first in Tony Hill/Carol Jordan series
The Distant Echo is the first in the Karen Pirie series
Both of those she's still writing. You really can't go wrong

I personally thought the last one wasn't very good as by then the story line of Hill/Jordan wasn't very believable anymore, but others probably will disagree.
