Patti Pasell | 19 comments I really enjoy books by David rosenfelt.

Hannah Dickson (hannahdickson) | 1 comments Billy Summers by Stephen King!
I am not typically a Stephen King girlie but it was good!


message 4: by Christine (new)

Christine Mathieu | 948 comments I can highly recommend Michael Allegretto (he wrote only 9 thrillers which take place in Denver and in the Rocky Mountains), Nelson DeMille (his John Corey series takes place on Long Island and in the Adirondacks) and Linwood Barclay (I think his books take place in Connecticut).

Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy and Jean-Claude Izzo's Marsille trilogy are excellent and so is Camilla Laeckberg's series taking place in Sweden.

Among my favorite crime novelists is Mary Higgins Clark. Unfortunately she died 3 years ago, but she left us with more than 50 crime novels.

Lilith Jane | 45 comments The Cyrus Haven series by Michael Robotham. Truly amazing. Like all of his books including the Joe O'Loughlin series


message 7: by FifthMarauder (new)

FifthMarauder | 5 comments A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, The Inheritance Games, The Naturals, Charlotte Holmes, loved them.
But if you want some that aren't famous, Take Me With You by Tara Altebrando and It Will End Like This by Kyra Leigh are great too. Five Total Strangers by Natalie D. Richards is also good for a new read.


message 8: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (ajallnutt) I just finished The Spy Coast by Tess Gerritsen and it was excellent! Tana French is another favorite crime mystery author. Her Dublin Murder Squad series is really good!

Deborah Durand | 29 comments In addition to the excellent suggestions above [Girl with a Dragon Tattoo trilogy - my favorite], you can read any Preston and Child book - they have a gazillion, and Julie Garwood’s FBI series starting with Heartbreaker. Garwood mixes romance with hers. Happy Reading.

message 20: by Laura (new)

Laura | 2 comments if you like dogs and good, clean read, I would recomment any of the Chet and Bernie mysteries, written by Spencer Quinn. English author, Steve Higgs, writes similar mysteries: his featuring a former police detective and his German Shepherd, Rex.


message 21: by Christine (new)

Christine Mathieu | 948 comments Laura, there's an Austrian TV series about a police dog called "Kommissar Rex". I ordered it for our region here in the US and my husband loved it (we used to have a white German shepherd).
I can also recommend the two books with police dog Maggie by Robert Crais:

Great recommendation.

I also would like to suggest the DCI Banks series by Peter Robinson which takes place in the Yorkshire dales of the UK.

It's not a new story, it was already told by John Fowles (The Collector), Anthony Gilbert (The Woman in Red) and Nancy Price (Sleeping with the Enemy).

Sophie | 116 comments a good girls guide to murder by holly jackson(trilogy) or they wish they were us by jessica goodman(stand-alone)!!


message 39: by Dee (last edited Dec 04, 2023 11:13AM) (new)

Dee Turner | 17 comments I can't say enough about Louise Penny's 17-volume Inspector Gamache series--the characters are unforgettable and will steal your heart, each crime is a genuine puzzle, and the politics of policing will sear your soul. They need to be read in their proper sequence, as the whole describes an arc in character development as well as in plot.

Richard Osman's 4 volume cozy mystery series: The Thursday Murder Club, The Man Who Died Twice, The Bullet That Missed, The Last Devil To Die. Also best read in sequence.

There's a lot of reading packed into this blurb!
