Tana French almost complete. What next?

Help. I have about 25% left of the final Tana French series to read. Is it just the Murder squad she has done? Have looked on Amazon and can't see anymore other than the 7.

So am feeling a bit sad. I assumed she had done more outside of the series but if not I need something similar.

Have read the Shetland books, the Vera ones and the Simon serrailer series. I like thrillers but not too gory and love a series to get my teeth stuck into. Much prefer British/Irish settings to anything else. I haven't tried any Skandi series though but could possibly be tempted.

I have had some fantastic recommendations from mn over the last 12 months and hope to get some more. All the above were read and enjoyed on the back of threads on here. And if anyone is looking for a series recommendation thoroughly enjoyed all the above!

Oh and the Rebus series by Ian Rankin, and Stuart Macbride's Aberdeen series.

Mark Billingham, Val McDermid, Mo Hayder are all excellent.

Thanks all

I have seen I Am Pilgrim recommended a few times. I might give that a whirl.

efeslight I would love a couple of scandi recommendations please. It's a genre I haven't done before. The amazon reviews are usually ok for a guide. But have always found mn recommendations better.

I didn't really enjoy Gone Girl or Girl on a Train for instance and they had fantastic amazin reviews.

Will look at the other recommended stuff later on my kindle.

Peter James series set in Brighton?

Mo Hayder is very good.

Elly griffiths writes a good series about Ruth Galloway, often set in Norfolk

Have you read PD James- I read them again and again

Barbara Vine/Ruth Rendell

Peter Robinson and his Inspector Banks series are very good, although the early ones are better

Belinda Bauer

Erin Kelly has written 2 or 3 books that you might like

All UK based I think, can recommend some Scandinavian authors too if you like?

The Wesley Peterson series by Kate Ellis are a bit different, and a good read.

I lIke Tana French and I also like Karin Slaughter the Will Trent series starting with Triptych (but I didn't enjoy the moSt recent one). I also liked "I am pilgrim" by Terry Hayes.
