Harlan Coben, but he is an American writer! He’s very prolific, some are better than others. He wrote the series Only Lie to me Once which was on Netflix I think, which I enjoyed.

Nanamar, this is great: all other posters, am sitting here nodding like one of those dogs that sat in the back shelf of a car!

Love most of these, thanks for new ideas
"Jim Stringer Railway Detective" is by Andrew Martin not Edward Marton, very good.

There's Hereford-set "Merrily Watkins" series by Phil Rickman, she's a priest/exorcist so you have that dimension as well as the crime.
Anna Maxwell Martin portrayed her on TV but they squashed several books into each episode, not half as good as the books.

Blackhouse Trilogy...Peter May...set on the island of Lewis

Raymond Chandler.

I enjoy reading - Charlie Gallagher, Robert Bryndza, Linwood Barclay, Harlan Coban, Angela Marson, David Baldacci to name but a few - all great authors

Peter James. Set in Brighton.

Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache books set in Quebec are good and Simon Brett’s Charles Parris books are humorous as well which is a bonus.

Peter James’ Roy Grace novels - 19 so far

I'm not into crime novels as such but I love historical crime novels such as by C J Sansom or Rory Clements. For a bit of fun the Howard of Warwick novels are highly amusing about a very reluctant monk coerced into being a detective in the time of William.

Please watch Slow Horses on Apple. Gary Oldman is brilliant as Jackson Lamb.

Anything by Mick
Herron

Lindsay Davis - crime around 79AD - some set in England but some all over the Roman Empire

Mick Herron - maybe thriller rather than crime but VERY London based. I can't comment on the TV series that's been made from it as I haven't watched it. I prefer the pictures in my head.

LJ Ross every time, DCI Ryan books all 20 set in Northumberland and Durham, Alexander Gregory 4 books re Clinical psychology crime and 4 Cornwall books with a few new ones about to be released, can t wait

This is such a great thread.
I used to read whilst I was commuting to work but haven't read much for some years. I'm getting inspired to start again!

LJ Ross great series of books set in Northumberland .

So many to choose from, but I enjoy vintage mysteries from the early 20th century. British Library Crime Classics publish a great range. I recently read ‘The Chimney Murder’ by E M Channon and absolutely loved it. Quite gruesome, but very entertaining!

Has anybody mentioned Aline Templeton and her two Scottish detective series featuring DI Kelso Strang and DI Marjorie Fleming? All excellent reads.
I also enjoyed the DS Alice Rice crime novels by Gillian Galbraith.

If you feel like venturing across the globe I thoroughly recommend Jane Harper

Glad to see L.J. Ross on the suggestions, I've just discovered her.

Also M.C. Beaton for her Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series. The Agatha Raisins are SO much better than the drossy tv series loosely based on them!

I agree, the TV version of Agatha was rubbish. I watched only part of one - the actress was nothing like her.

It was maybe 10 years ago now, but I took several Agatha books across the pond to a sister when she’d just come out of hospital after breast cancer surgery.
Perfect light-relief reading for when she was taking it very easy on the sofa - she thoroughly enjoyed them.

Gosh, so many to choose from I love JD Kirk, Andy Maslen, Denzil Meyrick and Robert Bryndza.

Lisa Jewel. Have just finished The Night She Disappeared. Page turner.

Avoid Richard Osman like the plague!
