dk_know Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hello and welcome to the forum! How about Jeffery Deaver, Chelsea Cain, Karin Slaughter, Kathy Reichs...? Read all of Chelsea Cain's Archie Sheridan books (except the 4th that's just come out), a few of Karen Slaughters', not that keen on Kathy Reichs. I've read The Broken Window by Deaver and enjoyed it, though thought it was a bit tough to get in to at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 How about The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen, is the first of a series following a detective and a pathologist, they are very detailed which may put some off but I thought they were very well written, full of suspense, they certainly kept me up late reading.

Cherbs Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi, Have you read any Scandinavian authors? Like Jo Nesbo and Steig Larsson? I particularly liked Jo Nesbo and I'm now keen to read some other Scandinavian authors. There's a post dedicated to Scandinavian Authors on the crime/thrillers board. Have fun finding new authors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly liked Jo Nesbo and I'm now keen to read some other Scandinavian authors. There's a post dedicated to Scandinavian Authors on the crime/thrillers board. Have fun finding new authors I've read the first 2 Larsson books - absolutely love them, got the third one waiting to be read. Currently reading The Redbreast by Nesbo; bought the book because of the 'The next Steig Larsson' splashed on the cover, and as it was 99p in Waterstones (although you have to spend £20, which Is didn't know, and got it for 99p anyway). I'm not totally gripped by it to be honest - about 250 pages in, and I'll finish it, but not all the enamored with it to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethany725 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hi, and welcome! If you haven't delved into James Patterson's books, they're usually a reliable choice. Many are series as well, so if you love a certain character/detective, there are usually more to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
