I am a big Harlan Coben fan - it keeps looking like they are going to make a movie of one or more of his books but then nothing happens Sad

Also Patricia Cornwell and for a quick easy comfort read you can't beat a good old Agatha Christie.

I have started reading John Case too - The Genesis Code was one - they are a bit different. Turns out John Case is actually a pseudonym for a husband and wife writing team.

Bad girl! reading the ending first Debs Shocked

Harlan Coben
Rebus - Ian Rankin
Agatha Christie - honestly!

I don't read murder mysteries very often though - I read in bed, and like to sleep at night Laughing

so nothing too gruesome. I read an Iain Banks once and it scared the living daylights out of me!

I like Agatha Christie too, Joy, nothing to be ashamed of Laughing

I'm not a huge fan of "modern" murder-mystery books, although I've enjoyed some of Kathy Reichs'. I like ones set in the past - although there seem to be a lot of medieval ones, which get a bit same-ish. You can't beat Brother Cadfael!

I was hooked on A Christie as a teenager. I still love Hercule Poirot on the trelly Smile

An Agatha Christie fan too Also:
Margery Allingham (Campion)
Rankin
Peter Robinson (Inspector Banks)
Stephen Booth,
Dorothy L Sayers (Lord Peter Wimsey)
Elizabeth George (Inspector Lynley, much better than the TV series)

I'm not much good with too much blood and gore - just a nice old fashioned detective story.
