In reply to Ava Adore:
Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks series, especially "In a Dry Season" (if you've seen it on the TV, don't worry, the TV series is shite but the books are superb.
Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie books.
Mark Billingham, especially his first book "Sleepyhead"
If you like history, the Shardlake books by CJ Sansom
I like the Harry Bosch books by Michael Connelly
Karin Slaughter's books (although she has a sick imagination)
Lee Childs' Jack Reacher books are fabulous, great plots.
I read about 10 pages of a Kathy Reichs book. It made me happy; happy to think that if a publisher would publish that shit, I could easily write a novel and get it published.
