Any recommendations?

I am an avid reader and particularly enjoy crime novels. My favourite writers or the moment are Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs, but I have read all of their books and my pile of new books is getting very low. Can anyone recommend any other writers to try, bearing in mind that I detest Elizabeth George!

I'd recommend a short fiction magazine called Crimewave if you're looking for interesting new writers. Check out http://www.ttapress.com/publCW.html for more details.

And still the lists keep coming! I am overwhelmed by your responses and wish I could give you all at least a dozen stars each! Thanks and keep 'em coming!

I've recommended Janaet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books before but they really are a 'good' read, also Michael Connelly, Liz Evans ( a sort of British Stephanie Plum) Alex Keegans Kaz Flood series, I agree with RCP about Laurence Block's Matt Scudder, he also writes another series whose hero's name I forget but he's been defrosted from the 1960's! Linda Fairstein another US female crime writer worth a go. But thanks for the list guy's I'm off to the library with a big bag!

I've been into real crime books for years. I find the actual accounts of some wierdos nastiness, the criminal mind, motives, solving, evidence thing fascinating. So...... which of these authors do you think would appeal to me. I thought Fritz (spelling?) was a brilliant series if that helps.

This may sound a bit strange but there is a book called 'The Daughter of Time'...I forget who wrote it now but it is all about the murder of the Princes in the tower. (Richard III). Although it is a historical case....there are moments in the book that send a shiver down my spine!

nb The Daughter of Time (see previous post) is by Josephine Tey.

Have you heard of PJ Tracy or Ian Rakin because they are good authors that do crime novels
