These sound good! Checking out samples on Kindle now... thanks a lot lol This site gets me into so much trouble!
Edited: Only finding CJ Sansom on Kindle
I've checked and both Rory Clements and D.E.Meredith are available on Kindle,in the U.K,any way!

Thanks for the tip-off Vimes.
I agree,Andrea,that historical crime is probably a sub-genre,though it's soared in popularity in the last 10 years I would say. There's also a fast growing 'historical action' genre now too. -
Do you class historical crime as a separate genre to crime? Examples are C.J.Sansom's Shardlake series set during the reign of Henry VIII,Rory Clements' Elizabethan series,and more recently D.E.Meredith's Victorian crime novels,Devoured and The Devil's Ribbon. I do tend to split historical crime from modern crime/thrillers though they're often equal or superior to the modern crime novels.

I'm 140 pages into The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith aka J.K.Rowling.Very impressed so far,but as I've never read Harry Potter there's no comparison. Going to collect The Unseen by Katherine Webb from't library later.
