If I really love Ruth Rendell and Agatha Christie, what else would I enjoy?

[TeddyBear7]

Just that really. I like both the Wexford books and the psychological thrillers like the Keys on the Street. Really struggling to find something. I don't like anything too gory though.

[barkingfly]

try P D James

[NorksAreMessy]

Haha! I came on to the thread to say 'PD James' :)

Also, the Lord Peter Wimsey books by Dorothy L Sayers

Kate Ellis
Donna Leon
Ann Granger
yy to Ngaio Marsh and Dorothy L Sayers

[EstelleRoberts]

Susan Hill

[Stopmithering]

Definitely PD James.

[Popskipiekin]

Another saying Elizabeth George. Val McDermid?

[Northernlurker]

Val mcdermids brannigan books are fine but the later stuff is usually gory.

Margery Allingham

And you might like Lindsay Davis if you can cope with a roman setting.

[Permanentlyexhausted]

On the lighter side, M C Beaton (Agatha Raison, Hamish MacBeth) and Carola Dunn's Daisy Dalrymple series.

[RustyPaperclip]

I would highly recommend Susan Hill and Anne Perry. Possibly Paul Docherty

[MindTheGarp]

Kate Atkinson

[pithivier]

Rachel Abbott. I am currently reading Kill me Again and really enjoying it.

[cdtaylornats]

Edward Marston Railway Detective Series
Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series

[scaryteacher]

Another vote here for PD James, Margery Allingham, Lindsay Davis, Donna Leon, and I also like Jill Paton Walsh, the Imogen Quy books, plus her contributions to the Peter Wimsey books. Obviously Dorothy Sayers as well. The Scandinavian Noir stuff is good as well.

[smurfest]

PD James
Ian Rankin

[Pancakeflipper]

The Simon Serrailer series by Susan Hill.

Agree with PDJames. A murderous joy to read.
Also the Robert Galbraithe ones (JK Rowling in disguise)

[Plifner]

The shardlake chronicles
Brilliant, easy to read but well written, interesting and not too horrible

[dawnb14]

Try David Mark. He has written 5 now and gets better everyour book.
