Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
I'm adding my mystery favorites here. You chime in too! Whether you like police procedurals, private detectives, mysteries focused on food, suspense, legal, etc.--add it here!

At the top of my list are:
  • Ian Rankin's Scottish policeman, Rebus
  • Elizabeth George's Lynley and Havers team--her latest, What Came Before He Shot Her is a clever puzzle.
  • Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallender and crew

Women mystery writers, all good The only order to this list is as they sprang to mind!
  • Sara Paretsky
  • J.A. Jance
  • Sue Grafton
  • Kate Wilhelm
  • Marcia Muller
  • Diane Mott Davidson
  • P.D. James
Martha Grimes
  • Carolyn Keen

Megan says: Being an Aussie, I have to mention author Kerry Greenwood, who has 2 women detective series "Phyrne Fisher" and "Corriana Chapman" - they are fun, suspenseful and most of all you fall in love with the characters. Check out: www.phrynefisher.com and www.earthlydelights.net.au
