Recommended books

I’m enjoying the Joy Ellis books, fantasticfiction.com lists them in series order.

I’m also in the middle of L J Ross’s DCI Ryan series which I’m enjoying.

I love T E Kinsey’s books featuring Lady Hardcastle and Anita Waller’s Kat and Mouse series.

I realise now Gulli it was YOU who recommended the Cara Hunter books to help, thanks so much for the introduction. Fabulous page turner. I have got book 3 on reserve.

Reading a real page turner by Cara Hunter called ‘In the Dark’ all set in Oxford. A gripping read ?

Anyone recommend a new thriller/ detective writer. I have read all the Rebus, Banks,Vera, Serrallier books etc. and am looking for something else. I shall try the Joy Ellis books, so glad of that suggestion. Any others would be most welcome though. I do not like American writers !

Yes, I'm another fan of Susan Hill's Simon Serailler books. I must say I found 'Airs and Angels' an odd read, also by Susan Hill. Just downloaded 'The Bronze Horseman', the first of a trilogy, by Paulina Simons, which was recommended. Has anyone else read this?

I’ve just discovered Howard Linskey, crime author, set in the North East. Brilliant read, can’t put them down once started. There are 7 books in all with new novel coming out in the new year.

I have the Susan Hill/Simon Serrailler on reserve from the library, this is a wonderful series. I'm going to try the Elly Griffiths novels as recommended by NanKate, and in turn I can recommend Cara Hunter, who has only written 3 books so far but they are set in Oxford with a grumpy detective who "hates opera and doesn't do crosswords" and they are excellent!

I have just started the new Susan Hill book in the Simon Serrailler series The benefit of hindsight which came out this month. I ordered it from the library.

I'm generally a fan of crime/thriller novels but I tried one Joy Ellis book and found her writing style virtually unreadable. I gave up after a very few chapters and have never tried again. I think they're all available on Kindle and, with that, you can download a free sample to try before you buy.

Thanks I will look up all your suggestions.

The Midnight Rose by Lucinda Riley not an author I usually read but picked her book up on holiday nothing else available and couldn't put it down. Thoroughly recommend a great read.

Joy Ellis books are set on the Fens. I've read most of them and enjoy them. At least two different series, all police thrillers. Good stories, give them a try.

Some of them are available on Amazon and on Kindle. There is a new one due out which means they will drop the prices to draw you in. They are all for sale on eBay. Maybe you can find them in charity shops? I would recommend Susan Hill’s Simon Serrailler series. Have you read P D James’s Adam Dagleish books set in East Anglia?
