  1. I would recommend trying Lee Child. Not my kind of reading specifcally but I usually see Simon Kernick mentioned with Stephen Leather
  2. Hi bookspider, have you tried fantasticfiction.co.uk? It is a great resource if you are searching for a new author. Look up the author you like and at the bottom of the page there are suggestions on 10 authors other users have visited, link below http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/stephen-leather/
  3. I have not read any of his Jack Harvey books so am unable to compare
  4. Hi Dex, I also like Connelly and would recommend John Sandford, Robert Crais, James Lee Burke. UK Authors I would also recommend Ian Rankin and would suggest trying John Harvey, Tony Black, Jim Kelly who would fit your liking of Mark Billingham and Quentin Jardine.
  5. You could try Martin Edwards Lake District mystery series set in villages around the area.
  6. Feast Day For Fools - James Lee Burke, coming in Sept. And 2 new ones from John Sandford later this year, Buried Prey and Shock Wave
  7. Thanks, saw a couple in the local charity shop so will give one a go
  8. Has anyone read anything by S J Rozan? Any thoughts as to what they may be similar to?
  9. The one thing that puts me off these is that when I pick one up it proudly states on the cover 'the next Stieg Larsson'. Well I gave up on those halfway through the first one, thought it was awful, so if they are like those I will not bother. Thoughts?
  10. I would agree on Contrarian's Vince Flynn suggestion. I listen to books to and from work and I just finished Executive Power which was very good. I would also suggest Robert Crais who I think is as good as Michael Connelly. Slightly different type of book, private detective as opposed to police, but you should be able to pick those up as audio books quite easily.
  11. Just finished Dekok and the Death of a Clown by AC Baantyer. He is apparently the most widely read author in the Netherlands but must admit I had not heard of him until I picked this up at the library. Very enjoyable mystery novel comparable to the Maigret novels.
  12. One of my favourite authors and one of the best writers of dialogue in crime fction I think. Also a couple of the better book to film adaptations with Out of Sight and Jackie Brown.
  13. Blake in Glengarry Glenross ABC Always Be Closing Makes sense if you have seen the film
  14. No it was fine for me but I noticed that the first and third books were translated by different people so that may explain it
  15. I just completed her first novel, Last Rituals. Very good I thought.
