 | Purple Cane Road by James Lee Burke
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 JLB has created probably my all time favourite in Dave Robicheaux. Set in and around the town of New Iberia in Southern Louisiana
|
 | Echo Park by Michael Connelly
Buy new: £15.29 / Used from: £0.01 LA cop Harry Bosch is Connelly's vehicle in this superb series
|
 | Through a Glass Darkly by Donna Leon
Buy used from: £0.01 Brunetti plies his trade in atmospheric Venice - brilliant series
|
 | Broken Prey by John Sandford
Buy new: £5.32 / Used from: £0.01 Not widely read in UK, Lucas Davenport must not be missed. Set in & around Minneapolis. A must for all crime fans
|
 | Tripwire: A Jack Reacher Novel by Lee Child
Buy new: £4.91 / Used from: £0.01 Jack Reacher wonderers across the USA finding adventure & trouble wherever he stops. American crime written by an Englishman - first class!
|
 | Prayers for Rain by Dennis Lehane
Buy used from: £0.01 I actually prefer Lehane's stand alone work (e.g. Mystic River) but this Boston based series is worth catching
|
 | The Naming Of The Dead by Ian Rankin
Buy new: £15.29 / Used from: £0.01 Rebus is a class act - moody, acerbic & unreliable - I love him. Set in Edinburgh it's a wonderful series
|
 | Sleepyhead (Tom Thorne Novels) by Mark Billingham
Buy new: £5.47 / Used from: £0.01 I've always thought of Tom Thorne as a Southern based Rebus. Not quite in IR's class but still good
|
 | Hit Parade by Lawrence Block
Buy new: £14.44 / Used from: £0.24 A series about a contract killer? Try it, Keller is actually an engaging character. This New York based series is different & worth a look
|
 | All The Flowers Are Dying by Lawrence Block
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.29 LB is truly a prolific writer & this is his best series. Again NY based, Matt Scudder must be on your list
|
 | The Burglar in the Rye (Bernie Rhodenbarr Mystery) by Lawrence Block
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 Rhodenbarr is a book selling burglar. As always with LB based in NY. Novels are clever, amusing & short. Try one
|
 | The Cold Moon by Jeffery Deaver
Buy used from: £0.01 Deaver has produced a tremendous body of work & his (yet again NYC based) Lincoln Rhyme series is a collection of satisfyingly complex page-turners

Listmania!
