looking for a few good series suggestions

[Lori]

I've become recently enamored by Kate Atkinson's work. The first in the Jackson Brodie series is Case Histories. Not for everyone I'm sure but I thought it was great.

[Tay]

I really love James Swain's Jack Carpenter series.

Anybody ever read the Barry Eisler Books from the Rain Series They're really great books. Japanese hitman with a conscious.

[Rebecca]

Louise Penny Chief Inspector Gamache novels are great!

[Georgia]

Ronhummer, get to it!!!!!!!!!!!! Barry Eisler is terrific. On my top ten list. John Rain is a great
character. Start with #1 Book, Was it Hard Rain???

a year later from when thread started how did you find some of the books you added to your tbr and tried?

I always interested in the result - (result of search)

Mo Hayder has a wonderful series! It starts with Birdman and I love it!

mo hyder is a bit of hit/miss

[Joanne]

I just finished reading by H. Terrell Griffin and I liked it so much that I'm going to get his previous Matt Royal books! Excellent police procedural/thriller!

You simply CANNOT miss out on Lee Child (Start with Killing FloorJack Reacher Series), Christopher Brookmyre (start with Quite Ugly One MorningJack Parlabane Series) and Harlan Coben (start with Deal BreakerMyron Bolitar Series).

[Georgia]

Dipanjan, Love reading Lee Child and Harlan Coben, so
therefore, according to your suggestion I better get
busy and try Christopher Brookmyre. Thanks.

[Dipanjan]

I also recommend Daniel Silva (Start with The Kill Artist Gabriel Allon Series). I describe Gabriel as a Melancholic Spy.

[Linda]

I also found that JD Robb is quite good.

[Jackmeister]

Joel Goldman has a series featuring Jack Davis ex FBI agent and also a Lawyer series featuring Lou Mason which are excellent reads.
Keith Houghton is new on the scene with a series starring Gabe Quinn LAPD which is very good.
Stephen J. Cannell also wrote a series with LAPD Detective Shane Scully which is also very, very good.

[Tay]

Brad Parks has a series featuring journalist Carter Ross. It's very good and very humorous.

Jan C...........Stuart Neville and Ken Bruen write fantastic Hibernian noir. ..."

A great series to watch is the shows on Investigative Discovery. On that channel there are shows such as: wivs with knives-wicked attractions-frenemies-Stalked

great gritty true shows

[Clare]

I can highly recommend Tim Weaver. His series, starting with Chasing the Deadis excellent

[Maegan]

Chelsea Cain's Archie Sheridan / Gretchen Lowell series is great (but gruesome!)
this is book #1:
Heartsick

I've just started Alex Kava's Maggie O'Dell series--so far so good! This is book #1:
A Perfect Evil

alex kava is good and definatly read it in order

[Georgia]

Don't forget I thought
this was a real good one as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

[Linda]

Reading Dark House by Karina Halle, very disappointed.

My favorite series are the Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport series from John Sandford. If you want something a little different, I enjoy the Chet and Bernie series by Spencer Quinn. Bernie is a private investigator and Chet is his dog who is always by his side. The stories are told by Chet, the dog. It's quite interesting and comical.

[Frances]

Not hard boiled, but excellent crime thrillers with a legal twist read the Dismas Hardy series by John Lescroart.

[Julie]

Hmmm, I'm not sure if it fits your taste as I'm not totally familiar with some of the authors that you've mentioned but here's my suggestion: Chris Allen's Defender & Hunter. He's writing the third of the series right now and that means there's many more where that came from. His novels are really current and fantastic, brilliant actually. Let me know what you think. I hope my suggestion finds you well. Anyone else read them yet?
