I fancied some detective fiction - nothing too high brow, i want easy to read and gripping, preferably not american.

I just read something by Peter James, really disappointing - it was just crap, predictable, mysoginistic and unrealistic. So that would be a good guide for what i don't like............Grin

Bugger, so I guess you don't fancy Sara Paretsky? (American but awesome).

The series by Kate Atkinson about a detective called Jackson Brodie is really good. Can't remember which book it starts with - possibly Case Histories? There are a few others too. But they are all really good and easy to get into but well written. He's also a great character.

Hope this is the kind of thing you are after!

Christopher Brookmyre? Some Kate Atkinson?
