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

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.
