Lizreads Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Elizabeth George is an American writer who writes British mysteries! That's a bit simplistic of course -- but they're all set in the UK. (I think she might actually live there part-time but I can't recall for sure.) Her main series is about Inspector Thomas Lynley of Scotland Yard. Wonderfully complex, layered -- and long! books. But even though they're quite long, as I mentioned, I'm still sorry when they're over. (I must confess that I think I completely skipped her most recent one, which was only peripherally connected to the series.) But give her a look.

Lizreads Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I forgot to add some other favorites: Robert Parker (RIP), Julia Spencer-Fleming, Lillian Jackson Braun (the Cat Who) books, edna Buchanan, Faye Kellerman, Jonathon Kellermen. Never liked Robert Patterson much, I have to say. But others love him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizreads Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Good grief -- my apologies. I was rattling off names and forgetting the British/American angle. Those are all American writers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceinwenn Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I prefer American, but there are a couple British Crime novelists I particularly like, as well as 1 Swedish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
